And being 12 years old, and at that time no one in my family experienced migraines, I was embarrassed to say when I was suffering from one."

The coronavirus pandemic made Khloé Kardashian's condition worse
There was a time when Khloé Kardashian would have up to 12 migraines per month for three consecutive months. Because of this, the business mogul underwent more brain scans in order to rule out other conditions. Khloé's scan results were clear, yet she would typically get one or two migraines a week. With that being said, the coronavirus pandemic appeared to have made her condition worse. "During the first month of quarantine, I didn't work out. I think we were all kind of just scared and trying to figure it out," she told Prevention, adding, "I noticed that I was getting them more and it could have been the stress, but also not working out."
Khloé is also a mother to her daughter True and admitted she has struggled to raise her during quarantine because of her condition. "During the pandemic, you're alone with your kid and you have no real support system," the "Psychotherapist" actor said. "She [True] is just two, so it's not like she's going to remember, 'My mom was a bad mom and laid on the floor while I was playing.' But there have been times when I'm in her playroom and have a migraine, and I will just lay on the floor. She'll say, 'Mommy, play,' and I can't explain to her that I can't. I just put guilt on myself. I think any new mom would do that." During a recent exchange with fans on Twitter, Khloé continued to her express her struggles with debilitating migraines.
