When someone thinks about the term migraines, probably the number one idea that comes to mind is the debilitating headache that is often just one symptom of this neurological condition. However, migraines cause more than just physical pain. There are other effects of migraines in the county. Family and financial problems are common for those who suffer from migraines. Here are some examples.

The High Cost of Migraines

Pain and discomfort aren't the only effects of migraines. According to the Migraine Research Foundation, migraines result in $36 billion in medical expenses and lost work annually in the United States alone. The cost is not all absorbed by the migraine sufferers. American businesses lose $13 billion each year as employees take off 113 million days to deal with the effects of migraines. So where does all the money go? Brain scans alone account for about $1 billion in medical expenses. Other tests and medications are likewise expensive and produce limited results.

Not only businesses but families are affected by migraines. When even just one member of a household suffers from this condition, household medical expenses average being 70% higher. Add to this the fact that those who experience migraines are also at higher risk for various psychological and physiological conditions and an entire household can suffer greatly.
