Say migraine, mean migraine!

Why does 'say migraine, mean migraine' matter?

Migraine is a neurological condition, not 'just a headache'. The words we use shape how seriously it's taken.

This Migraine Awareness Week, we asked our headache specialist doctors why language matters. Swipe to see what they said. 💛

What would you add to the migraine receipt? ⬇️

The cost of migraine isn’t just financial.

It can be the cancelled plan.
The missed day.
The opportunity that passed.
The time you can’t get back.
The energy it takes to keep going.

Some of the biggest costs don’t come with a price tag.

This is the migraine receipt.

What would you add to it?

What does migraine mean to you?

People living with migraine share what migraine means to them, as we all work to challenge the assumptions and misunderstandings that can surround the condition.

Listen to their stories.
Learn from their experiences.
And help us show that migraine means more than just a headache.

Join the conversation – share your thoughts! 💬

What gets added to ‘migraine’ when we add an ‘s’?

Not just another letter.

You can get stigma, shame, self-doubt, scrutiny, scepticism, and more.

For people living with migraine, these add to the burden and regularly become part of the experience when their condition is misunderstood or minimised.

The language we use can influence how people are seen, heard, and supported.

So, this , we’re asking you to think about what that one extra letter can represent.
What if we dropped the ‘s’?

What if migraine could simply mean migraine, without the assumptions attached?

Migraine = the condition. Migraine attack = an individual episode.

22/09/2026

Words matter…
…especially when we’re talking about migraine.

Migraine is the condition. A migraine attack is an individual episode.

So instead of saying:
❌ ‘They suffer from migraines’
❌ ‘They get migraines’
❌ ‘A migraineur’

Try:
✅ ‘They live with migraine’
✅ ‘They experience migraine attacks’
✅ ‘A person living with migraine’

Small changes in language can help create better understanding.

What’s one thing you wish people would stop saying about migraine? 💬 👇

Migraine Awareness Week 2026.

3 ways YOU can help us change the conversation…

1️⃣Say migraine
Use the right language: migraine is a genetic, neurological condition; a migraine attack is an individual episode which may include headache as one of many life-restricting symptoms.

2️⃣Challenge the stigma
Don't dismiss migraine as ‘just a headache’, an excuse, or a personality trait. Believe people when they say they're living with migraine.

3️⃣Support our campaign
Spread the message by sharing our Migraine Awareness Week content. And donate to help us support people living with migraine and continue our work in getting people back to living.

When you say migraine, do you mean migraine?

Ahead of , we’re inviting you to rethink what migraine really means and how the words we use can shape our understanding of it. 💙

Migraine is a complex neurological condition, resulting in attacks that typically feature one or more symptoms including headache, dizziness, brain fog, nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound.

If you don’t mean migraine, you could be adding to the burden felt by many living with migraine, including:
❗Stereotypes – oversimplified or generalised beliefs about a person or group.
❗Stigma - a negative attitude or judgement towards a person or group.
❗Scepticism - doubt about the truth, validity, or credibility of something.
❗Scrutiny - the act of examining or questioning something closely.
❗Self-doubt - a lack of confidence in one's own feelings or abilities.
❗Suspicion - a feeling of doubt or mistrust about someone's experiences.
❗Shame - a feeling of embarrassment or unworthiness about oneself.

This is just the beginning. Join us throughout the week as we try to change the conversation. 📣
