University Of Wisconsin–Madison: Nurse Becomes Patient For Migraine Treatment

Press release from the University of Wisconsin-Madison:

March 15, 2022

Madison, Wis. ‒ A UW Health doctor and nurse partnered to perform dozens of migraine treatment
surgeries, but one day in 2019, the physician was surprised to find the nurse waiting for her own appointment with him at the pain clinic.

Abby Turner, a registered nurse, who currently works at the allergy clinic at UW Health’s 20 S. Park Clinic, has battled headaches her entire life, but about seven years ago in nursing school, the intensity ramped up, she said.

This led her on a common journey for many migraine sufferers: The search for answers and relief.

She met with a primary care provider and received a prescription for Imitrex.
