Hi everyone. I just wanted to share my story as I hope it may remind others that anything is possible - even with chronic migraines.

I have recently been diagnosed with status migrainosus and spent the last two months hiding inside my dark/quiet bedroom on unpaid sick leave. I am sure this is something many people on this forum can relate to.

Prior to becoming unwell my parter and I booked a month long trip to Japan. In a decision based on equal parts stubbornness, rose coloured glasses, travel insurance not covering cancellation costs, and determination to see cherry blossoms, we have decided to travel to the loudest/brightest/busiest county in the world – migraine and all.

My headache specialist suggested that I write a travel blog to inspire other people with migraines travel. I am not a writer or a photographer, but I have decided to give it a go. If you are interested in following our journey I have included the link below.

This is not a sponsored or paid blog. I have no idea how this trip will go. I only hope that by sharing my story we can laugh or cry about it together.
