info_outlineIt was a migraine that led me to the neurologist and ultimately to my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. I was getting excruciating headaches when I was working out.
Something was off.
I went for the MRI and at 8:30 on New Years Eve 2015, my doctor called with the results. You have lesions on the brain that look like MS.
Turns out, I wasn't alone.
Studies suggest that up to 30-40% of people with MS also experience migraine.
