Last Monday, Kardashian revealed in a string of tweets how having migraines has affected her parenting, as well as the struggle of people not understanding the pain she often has to endure.

The 37-year-old mother of one continued in another tweet after an influx of well wishes from her followers, “I am totally fine now. There’s no way I could be on my phone if I was still experiencing my migraine. I was simply venting because I had to push back a meeting due to my migraine. when I apologized and explained why I couldn’t make it earlier, everyone sort of rolled their eyes.”
She also added, “I love you guys!!!!! I’m so sorry to all of the migraine sufferers on my timeline!” Many fans were quick to contribute their condolences to the former Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, with one fan suggesting a daith ear piercing as a solution to chronic migraines, writing, “Have you thought about getting a daith piercing? They can help reduce them (not always,but in some cases) I’m a body piercer and did my mums, it’s massively reduced hers to1 every 6 months, rather than one every couple of weeks. Sometimes anything is worth a try! Glad it’s eased off!”

When another fan responded in the comments about her own struggles with migraines, Kardashian wrote back, “They really are the worst! I feel so badly when I get one especially when they come in between me and my daughter. She’s only three years old so she doesn’t understand that I genuinely cannot lift my head up when I experienced one. Most adults don’t understand.”
Sending wishes that everyone would “be a little more empathetic towards others,” Kardashian clarified that her migraine has since passed, but was hoping to bring awareness to the pain it can cause. A spokesperson for the migraine medication Nurtec ODT, Kardashian proved that she’s just like everyone else when it comes to health struggles.
