“Migraine makes your world and prospects feel very small especially when you’re navigating the hamster wheel that is your twenties.
One positive thing which came from this is that I have recently taken up drawing. I’ve always loved drawing but prioritised academia when I started university. Drawing allows me to put a humorous spin on migraine which can be difficult to put into words. Some pictures are sadder than others, but mostly, they bring me joy and always some sort of relief at being able to show exactly what it feels like without words.”
Due to the impact of migraine, Lizzie has had to postpone her dream of becoming a teacher. As she takes a break to figure out her next steps, she has been inspired by her migraine symptoms to take up drawing. Lizzie is also running the Swansea Half Marathon for us this week! 🏃♀️
