I seriously doubt she has a serious migraine problem, at least one that can’t be successfully addressed with non-narcotic medication. It would have become an issue long before she officially declared. So if she has an aspirin or Tylenol habit — who gives a hey nonny?

Did you even read the article? The sources claim that she has missed several events, been taken to the emergency room multiple times on the road, and been bedridden at a colleague’s home with intense migraines.

Aspirin and Tylenol do not work on migraines and they are not prevention meds. If she requires prevention meds, prophylactic meds, and pain meds. She’s likely taking an anti-seizure or blood pressure med to prevent the migraines, a “triptan” to abort them, and a narcotic to ease the intense pain. It’s not the medicine that is the issue. It’s the incapacitation.

If the claims are true, and I don’t have a clue if they are, she can’t run the country. People who do not suffer from migraines do not understand them and how severly they can affect migraine sufferers and everyone with whom they interact. I have them and I would not wish them on anyone.
