Cian’s life was changed after visiting Apex Headache Clinic 15-year-old Cian Smith from County Cavan was given new hope and the opportunity to see a brighter future, following a visit to Apex Headache Clinic. Cian said, “All I’d ever known was life with headaches. I’m told that at the age of 6 months, I began suffering from them. With the onset of a headache, my temperature dropped, I became pale and the pain was so severe that it would cause me to vomit. Nothing in particular seemed to trigger it and we tried all angles such as consulting GPs and paediatricians, undergoing allergy tests and having MRI scans. You name it, we tried it. When I was properly diagnosed as having migraines, I was told that it was something I would have to live with and that I might eventually grow out of it. As this was severely affecting my life, it was really hard to hear and to think that I was stuck with these migraines forever. We live in Cavan and all I can say is that it was definitely worth the two-and-a-half-hour drive! My Granny recently commented that I’m a lot more confident and care-free now, which I guess comes from not worrying about how a migraine could ruin my day. In a nutshell, Apex Headache Clinic really has changed my life.”
