Researchers want to better understand the preventive treatment journey for migraine disease, and they need input from people living with it.

If you're currently on a preventive treatment, take our short survey and share your experience: what you've tried, what's worked, and what could have helped you find relief sooner.

US residents only. 🇺🇲

This survey was produced with financial support from an industry sponsor, and the results will be shared with them. It is intended for educational purposes only.

💜 November is National Family Caregivers Month 💜

Behind so many people living with chronic migraine is someone offering support in ways both big and small.

The person who drives us to appointments.
Who sits with us in the dark.
Who takes over when migraine takes us out.
Who learns our triggers, picks up prescriptions, changes plans, and simply stays beside us on the hardest days.

Caregiving often happens quietly, but its impact is immeasurable.

This month, CMA celebrates the spouses, partners, parents, family members, friends, and care partners who show up again and again.

To every caregiver: we see you, we appreciate you, and we thank you. 💜

💜 November is Epilepsy Awareness Month 💜

This month, we stand with the millions of people living with epilepsy and the families and caregivers who support them.

For those living with multiple neurological conditions, awareness matters. Symptoms can overlap, diagnoses can be complicated, and invisible illnesses are too often misunderstood.

At Chronic Migraine Awareness, we believe in amplifying understanding across the neurological community. 💜

This November, let’s help replace stigma with education, compassion, and support.

⏰ Don’t Forget to Fall Back Tonight!

Daylight Saving Time ends overnight! Before you head to bed, remember to turn your clocks back one hour. 🍂

For those living with chronic migraine, even a one-hour change can disrupt sleep routines and potentially affect how we feel. Be gentle with yourself as your body adjusts. 💜❤️

Enjoy that extra hour tonight — whether you use it for sleep, rest, or a little more quiet time. 💤

🎃💜 Happy Halloween from the CMA community! 👻

Wishing you a day filled with treats, fun, and as few migraine triggers as possible. Whether you’re dressing up, handing out candy, or keeping things quiet and cozy at home, celebrate in whatever way works best for you.

🧡 Be mindful of flashing lights
💜 Take breaks when you need them
🧡 Keep your migraine toolkit nearby
💜 And remember—it’s okay to skip the spooky stuff altogether!

Happy Halloween from Chronic Migraine Awareness! 🎃🕸️

10/25/2026

🎃 Keep the spooky. Skip the migraine triggers. 👻

Halloween can be full of flashing lights, loud sounds, strong scents, changing routines, and plenty of sensory overload — all things that can make celebrating more challenging when you live with migraine.

A little planning can help make the night more manageable. 💜

🕶️ Bring sunglasses or tinted lenses for bright or flashing lights
🎧 Keep earplugs or noise-reducing headphones nearby
💧 Stay hydrated and don’t skip meals
💊 Keep your migraine medications and essentials with you
🕯️ Be mindful of strong scents, fog machines, and candles
⏰ Take breaks and give yourself permission to head home early
🏠 Celebrating from the comfort of home counts, too!

Halloween doesn’t have to look a certain way to be fun. Choose what works for you and your migraine brain. 🎃💜

💙 Today is POTS Awareness Day.

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia that can affect heart rate, blood flow, energy, cognition, and so much more.

For many people in the migraine community, POTS is part of the picture too — adding symptoms like dizziness, lightheadedness, fatigue, brain fog, exercise intolerance, and fainting or near-fainting to an already complex chronic illness journey.

Today, we stand with everyone living with POTS — especially those navigating multiple invisible illnesses at once.

💙 Your symptoms are real.
💙 Your experience matters.
💙 You deserve to be heard and supported.

💚 October 10 is World Mental Health Day 💚

Mental health is health.

Living with chronic migraine can bring isolation, uncertainty, grief, and emotional exhaustion alongside the physical symptoms of the disease.

Today, we encourage everyone to check in with themselves and others, lead with compassion, and remember that asking for support is a sign of strength.

No one should have to navigate the hard days alone. 💚
