These are some of the reflections our advocates wish more people knew about migraine —
That people react differently
That many still don’t know it exists.
That it’s far more than just a headache.
That it can make you sick for days and sometimes need to be admitted.
That workplaces need more understanding and empathy.

Each voice reminds us why awareness and advocacy matter — to create a world where those living with migraine are seen, supported, and understood.

Today on , we celebrate the critical role pharmacists play in advancing health for all. For millions living with migraine across Africa, pharmacists are often the first point of care—educating, counseling, and guiding patients toward better treatment and understanding.

At Migraine Outreach, we believe strengthening the role of pharmacists is key to effective migraine care.

Too often, people living with migraine are told it’s just stress or high blood pressure. Dr. Yilma’s experience in Rwanda shows how under-recognition and late diagnosis leave many without the care they need.
