I agree that for psychological sanity it's often easier to avoid thinking about these things. I think this is such a huge public health problem that these myths need to be exposed. I had a neurologist tell me that it was all "in my head" because he couldn't find anything on it MRI. To be blunt, no one with even a rudimentary understanding of the science, would make such a statement. I had three different neurologist tell me that going back to work early could not lead to a long long time set back. I was recovering fine at that point I could walk and talk and read and watch TV. When I tried to return to work as a full-time college professor, the overstimulation cause my migraine to spiral out of control. I have been bed-bound for the last 2 years. This is why I'm writing this article. And I'm here to try to get more stories and more evidence of these myths so that we can prevent other people from suffering the way that I have.
