The headaches were a piercing pain that were always there, behind my eyes, pounding every second of the day.
Brianna, gymnastics

I just didn’t feel right. I didn’t feel connected with family. I didn’t feel happy. I felt stressed out all the time. I was dizzy, my eyes hurt and I wanted to sleep all day.
Luke, hockey & football
