About Danielle

Danielle Newport Fancher is a writer and migraine advocate.

Danielle has lived with chronic migraine since the age of 20, and with intractable migraine since October 2, 2013. She continues to stump her doctors, some of the best neurology and migraine specialists in the country. Danielle has proactively done everything possible to beat her migraine brain with little success. Her efforts range from pumping her veins with the strongest migraine medications available at a specialized in-patient neurological center to quitting her job to live on the beach in Costa Rica because she lost all hope of a migraine-free life.

She currently lives in Manhattan and, in her spare time, can be found having a picnic with her daughters in Central Park.
