It's Just a Headache: lost to a migraine - Paperback

by David W. Franklin (Illustrator), Ca Rothermund-Franklin (Author)

Christy knows what headaches cost. She's had them for more than forty years since her early teens when the first one left her blacked out in the hallway. She raised a family, earned a graduate degree, and became a respected leader all while hiding chronic headaches but eventually, they caught up with her. After years of struggling with side-effects from modern medicine, she gave up and turned to all-natural home remedies, which didn't work any better. It's Just a Headache explores the trials and errors, personal, emotional and financial struggles faced managing chronic headaches. With a dose of humor, vulnerability exposed and through years pushing forward no matter what the bizarre drug side-effect, It's Just a Headache shares the story of how headaches define our lives.
