Cayenne Pepper on Your Brain

"I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. The pain is so bad." - Anna. "I would compare it to an invading army coming in and occupying my head." - Sean. "If someone was punching you continuously in the head for a full day, that's probably the equivalent of what a migraine is." - Christina... A migraine is more than just a headache — it's an often debilitating headache disorder experienced by approximately 3 million Canadians. Yet, migraine sufferers are often dismissed. Producer Shari Okeke and host Acey Rowe compare their own stories about coping with migraines and Shari speaks to other sufferers about how migraines disrupt their lives, and what they're trying to do about it. She also gets some insight from Dr. Elizabeth Leroux, one of the country's foremost specialists, about why it has taken so long for the medical community — and society at large — to take migraines seriously and her work to change that.
