Help Doug raise money

In September 2019, my life changed instantly when I experienced the worst headache of my life—one that sent me to the ER and launched a long, complex medical journey. After countless emergency visits, hospital admissions, procedures, and trying nearly every medication available, I was diagnosed with intractable migraine with status migrainosus, a severe migraine lasting more than 72 hours that doesn’t respond to usual therapies in addition to other neurological & medical conditions along the way

Migraine isn’t “just a headache.” It impacts my entire body and my entire life, with symptoms far beyond head pain. For years I fought for answers and relief, until I was referred to the Jefferson Headache Center for inpatient ketamine infusions. These treatments have helped bring my pain down to a more tolerable level, and I typically return every 7–8 months for continued care.

As the founder of Chronic Migraine Warriors, I’m committed to improving the lives of people impacted by migraine and other headache disorders through support, awareness, and advocacy.

Please consider supporting my two-mile walk for migraine research and fellowship training at the Jefferson Headache Center. I’m forever grateful for the relief they’ve helped make possible—and I’m walking to help create more answers, more access, and more hope. 💜
