Sara Verma, a 42-year-old software project...
Sara Verma, a 42-year-old software project manager and mother of two, had been struggling with debilitating migraines for over a year. The throbbing pain, light sensitivity, and nausea were disrupting her work and family life. After trying over-the-counter medications with little relief, her primary care physician referred her to an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen diagnosed her with chronic migraine and recommended a comprehensive medical management plan, ruling out more invasive procedures. The treatment involved starting a daily preventive medication (a beta-blocker), a detailed headache diary, identifying dietary triggers like aged cheeses, and implementing stress-reduction techniques. Sara was initially anxious about taking daily medication and frustrated by the slow process. Over six months, with careful dose adjustments and lifestyle changes, her migraine frequency reduced from 15 to 3 days per month. The emotional journey was one of initial desperation and skepticism, transforming into relief and regained control. She felt empowered, no longer fearing the next attack, and could fully engage with her career and children again.
