Those in the armed services that have been exposed to traumatic brain injury (TBI) by engaging in war conflicts often suffer with combat migraines. The fact that our government has been extremely slow to support our military personnel with these problems is discouraging. From vague guidelines to diagnose and treat them to few programs set up for education and research needed to find a successful cure, without help these men and women will likely come home to suffer years with this condition. Thankfully a movement is taking place to encourage others to motivate our government to be more proactive when it comes to migraines and our military heroes.

Our government owes it to these brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives to help defend our freedoms. It is a insult to see them return home only to find their own country deny them the support they so rightly deserve. Let's get proactive. Write your congressman or senator today.
