Coming soon - I will be doing a post on Migraine disease as an invisible illness for Invisible Illness Awareness Week, Sept 8-14, 2008. Please visit the Invisible Illness Awareness Week Blog for lots of great posts on what it means to have an invisible illness - one that effects your life and abilities, that others cannot see. I'll be posting on the topic on September 8, along with lots of other bloggers on that day. If you'd like to join in, visit the blog link above.
What can we do about our invisible illness? Nancy Bonk had the great idea of wearing a big bandaid across our foreheads - to make our disease visible. I'm thinking maybe a baseball cap with a bandaid embroidered right across the front - "Migraine Disease and Headache Disorders - Invisible No More." What do you think? Would you wear one?

Yes! I would totally wear a baseball cap like you described! Great thought!

Yah, m/b. Shouldn't it be worn sideways though? we don't want to be mistaken for CDH crowd... :P

Ooo Rain you are getting complicated on me, girl! Tell you what, if I get them made, you can write up the guidelines on how to wear them, depending on which headache disorder you have. ;-)

Yeah, I would wear one. But Rain, what if we have both CDH and chronic Migraine? :P
Be well,
MJ
