If you suffer from migraine and are in the Laois area, there is somewhere you need to be on Thursday …
The Migraine Association of Ireland have announced a FREE seminar on migraine in adults and children this Thursday, March 30, in the Maldron Hotel, Portlaoise. Taking place at 7pm, attendees will have the chance to hear from two expert speakers on areas such as diagnosis, treatments, medications and lifestyle changes.
As a migraine sufferer, having previously attended an information evening by The Migraine Association of Ireland, I have no hesitation in saying that I have benefited.
In my opinion, migraine is very often misunderstood and self diagnosed. It can have huge implications on people’s day to day lives and any information or help in navigating attacks, is most definitely welcome.
Did you know that migraine is recognised as a medical condition by the Department of Education allowing students to avail of extra supports and arrangements under the Reasonable Accommodation for Certificate Examinations (RACE) Scheme? (Neither did I)
