Michele Scher was on her way to the kitchen to make dinner when a headache hit. She rushed to her bedroom, closed the blinds and lay in the dark, hoping the pain would pass.

For decades, migraine and tension headaches had plagued Michele, forc-ing her to put life on hold while she waited for the throbbing and nausea to pass.

Though Michele suspected stress and hormones played a role, she couldn’t accurately pinpoint her triggers—and the unpredict-ability left her fearful of making plans.

Michele tried multiple over-the-counter medications and holistic remedies—like meditation and soothing baths—but nothing eased her suffering. The headaches also disrupted her sleep, leaving her feeling exhausted and drained. I can’t live like this, she realized. I have to find a lasting cure.
