If you are attending a healthcare professional for #vestibularrehabilitationtherapy, always ensure they are adequately trained. If they are not, at best you are wasting your money. At worst they are prolonging your recovery or maybe making you sicker! #balanceawarenessweek2018

#Migraine is the LEADING cause of #disability for people under 50, but SSA's OFFICIAL policy is that it's "rarely" disabling. Migraine costs Americans more yrs lost to disability than all other #neurological diseases COMBINED but is only neurological disease not covered by SSA.
