How does it feel for me - Jess and Tristan
Jess is a mum of three children including Tristan who has brain ocular migraines. Tristan is 11 years old and enjoys drawing, crafts, music and being outdoors. When he has a migraine attack, it causes him to pass out, get really sick and have no energy. Tristan's condition has massively affected Jess's and her family's life.
She has had to stop working to be there for Tristan and Tristan's brother has developed anxiety from witnessing what his brother is going through.
Jess would like to highlight gaps in health and social care services so that she can try and get the best support for her son and others like him.
