When Sarah Freedman suffered her first migraine in college, she thought it was just a headache. But as they became more frequent, she realized she had something very different, and very misunderstood: chronic migraine.
"Migraine is considered an invisible disability because you can't look at me and know that I have migraine," she says.
Because many people don’t realize that chronic migraine is a qualified disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, people with migraine often don’t ask for help. But Sarah, a Walgreens pharmacist for 25 years, is on a mission to help them understand their condition and get the help they need.
"People that are in pain can't always look for help. I want to be that person that brings the tools to them," she says.
