When is a headache more than "just" a headache?
You're Not Alone
I live in fear of my next attack
I feel guilty when I can’t do what I want to do for others
I can’t concentrate
I can’t do the things I want to do
I’m having more and more attacks
I can’t focus
No one understands what I’m going through
Imagine a world without headache
A world where stigma no longer exists, where people have timely access to accurate diagnoses, effective treatments, and quality care. Where education empowers patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers alike.
Our mission is to create a future where everyone living with headache can thrive in optimal, functional, and connected lives.
