...and to the Patients

A heartfelt thanks to all of the Bammers (and other potential BAM patients) seeking information, who have told me their stories, shared their symptoms and concerns, and told of their experiences and difficulties in obtaining diagnoses and information. It is for you, and for everyone whose life has been affected by Basilar Artery Migraine, that I do what I do.

There is no greater satisfaction than knowing that I can do something to help these people through providing information, education, and support. For helping me feel that I can make a difference, and for sharing with me your joys and long-awaited news of diagnosis and treatment, I give you my sincerest thanks. Keep in touch!
