Nigerian lawyer and ex-beauty queen, Ezinne Akudo Anyaoha, has opened up about her almost 10-year struggle with migraine.
Anyaoha who was crowned Miss Nigeria in July 2013 said painkillers don’t work for her anymore.
The 29-year-old also said that it’s so bad that direct sunlight, any bright light, loud sound, tight wig, the smell of coffee and sometimes stress triggers hers.
Anyaoha on her Instagram page asked her followers if there is an unknown solution that can help combat migraine.
She wrote,
“Does anyone else suffer migraines the way I do? I’m talking about the kind of headache that makes you throw up and keeps you in bed for at least 2 days.
“Painkillers don’t work for me anymore lol. Some days I can’t sleep without ice or a cold towel on my forehead.
“Direct sunlight, any bright light, loud sound, tight wig, the smell of coffee and sometimes stress trigger mine but mostly light…
“I can’t even look at a computer screen without my glasses(I’m not short or long sighted) and you can’t catch me anywhere outside without sun shades. If not..hmmm.
“Sometimes when I have a migraine and it’s night time, I must drive with sun shades on because some Nigerians don’t understand what full headlights are for..hiss!
“I hear there’s no cure for migraines and it’s basically managed by lifestyle.
“Anyway…What triggers yours? And what lifestyle helps you manage it? I’m tired. Almost 10 years now.”
