Danielle’s History with the Condition

Danielle is tired of the stigma that a migraine is "just a headache," and she's made it her mission to change that belief. 

Fancher attended Skidmore College, receiving her BS degree in Management and Business. She currently lives in Manhattan and, in her spare time, can be found writing at her favorite coffee shop in Gramercy. 

Danielle says:

"I've had migraines for the last fourteen years, with ten years being chronic. My migraine brain continues to stump my doctors, some of the country's best neurology and migraine specialists. 

"For many years, I have proactively done everything possible to beat migraine brain with little success. 

"My efforts range from treatment at a specialized in-patient neurological center to quitting my job to live on the beach in Costa Rica. I did the latter because I lost all hope of a migraine-free life."
