#SciArtSeptember Day 26: forage • One of my hand paresthesia pieces—push, pull, & tingle (2018)—since we use our hands to forage. It also fits with #MigraineAwarenessWeek since my migraines worsen the tingling in my hands. #SciArt #embroidery
#SciArtSeptember Day 23: scouting • A big part of scouting is looking at details. This #SciArt #embroidery—eye poem (2016)— is of the venation of the eye and features a circular poem. It also fits with #MigraineAwarenessWeek since my migraines are around my right eye.
It’s #MigraineAwarenessWeek. I started getting migraines with the onset of #MECFS. My #SciArt #embroidery she was tributaries (2016) depicts the electrical storm I feel in my brain with a #migraine.

Migraine Awareness Week (Sep 1–6, 2025) is a time to recognize that migraine is a neurological disease, not “just a headache.” It can be severely disabling, affecting work, school, relationships, and daily functioning. This week highlights the need for better diagnosis, personalized treatment, trigger management, and workplace accommodations, and encourages people to listen, validate, and support those living with migraine.

Join the conversation: share reliable resources, practical tips that help you (sleep routine, hydration, medication plan, stress reduction), and stories to reduce stigma and improve access to care. If you need help finding a specialist or community support, reach out — together we can push for improved research, treatment options, and understanding.

And otherworldly ... we aren't talking about astral dimensions, here ...

"A migraine attack can be debilitating, painful, lead to loss of sight, and generally feel ‘otherworldly’."
