Migraine and Headache Awareness Month Proclamation Meridian City Council Work Session June 25,2024 Page 3 of 5 Simison: There were -- next up is -- Item 8 was a proclamation for Migraine and Headache Awareness Month. If I could have Laura join me at the podium. So, Council, today we do have a proclamation related to Migraine Headache Awareness Month and, you know, we do -- we do a lot of proclamations here at the city and even when we talk about ones that are, you know, disease or have health impacts, I can say personally from an employer or supervisor standpoint, this issue has probably affected the Mayor's office the most over the years. We have had a couple of different people who specifically have struggled with migraines and headaches in that context. So, I'm not going to say -- it wasn't me and I don't want to make light of the issue, but it's at least one of those -- it is very personal in the context of working with people who have had these challenges and the impact. So, with that I will do a proclamation and I will turn it over for any comments you have, so -- whereas migraine is the second leading cause of global disability and notably one of the most disabling for a young woman under 50 years old and whereas veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have two to four times the incidence of migraine compared to the general population likely due to traumatic brain injury and post traumatic headache occurs in up to 92 percent of military personnel who have sustained mild TBI and whereas migraine disease impacts all systems of the body with symptoms which can include intense pain, nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound, smell and touch, visual disturbances, fatigue, impaired cognitive function. These conditions can last for four to 72 hours on average and whereas the City of Meridian is committed to recognizing the persons living with migraine disease, so fair equal timely and affordable access to new and innovative treatments to live their lives to their fullest potential. Therefore, I, Mayor Robert E. Simison, proclaim the week of June 2024 as Migraine and Headache Awareness Month in the City of Meridian and encourage all citizens to come alongside those in our community who suffer from migraine and headache diseases and to support an increasing awareness dated this 25th day of June 2024. So, thank you for being here to help us raise the awareness and happy to invite you to say any comments. Over here. Miller: Okay. I want to thank the Mayor for issuing this proclamation. I think this kind of recognition goes a long way towards raising awareness and combating stigma that can sometimes come with migraine disease. My name is Laura Miller and I have had chronic migraine disease for the past 18 years. I have -- every aspect of my life has been affected by migraine disease. But I'm not alone. There are 40 million Americans have migraine disease and that's like one in six households. So, chances are you know someone who is affected and if you do you probably know how debilitating a migraine attack can be. I am advocating for change. This proclamation is part of that. In March I went -- I traveled to Washington DC for an event called Headache on the Hill and I met with congressional officers to discuss migraine funding research, legislation and those pieces of legislation are currently moving through Congress slowly, but they are moving through Congress and the Idaho representative, which makes sense for the states, that will gain access to treatments and just want to continue raising awareness in our community and beyond of the severity.
