Tya vividly remembers her first migraine attack at just 11 years old. While sitting in class, she suddenly couldn’t read the words on the page in front of her. The letters blurred and disappeared, leaving her confused and scared. Some classmates laughed — a moment that shows how early the stigma around migraine can begin. Later that day, walking home from school, the pain hit. An intense, overwhelming migraine that she didn’t yet have the words to explain. When her mother saw her, she immediately recognized the signs — because she lived with migraine too. Migraine often runs in families, and genetics can play a significant role in this disease. Tya shared her story at the Miles for Migraine Arizona Event to remind others that migraine is real, invisible, and deeply misunderstood. By telling our stories, we raise awareness, break stigma, and help each other feel less alone. She was also awarded the patient advocacy award at the event. Thank you Tya for your support, involvement and on...
