National Migraine & Headache Awareness Month

The Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation joined the CHAMP community April 17 – April 19 for Retreat Migraine.

Migraine disease affects 47 million Americans – 75 percent of whom are women. Although headache is one symptom, attacks can include visual disturbances, nausea, extreme light and sound sensitivity, brain fog and debilitating pain.

Migraine affects about one in seven people and is the second-most debilitating disease on the planet. It is a serious neurological disease that often runs in families and affects three times as many women as men. CBS Sunday Morning Susan Spencer talks with experts and those affected by migraine disease.

The Association of Migraine Disorders talks with the Henry family, who have honored the memory of their daughter and sister lost to migraine disease with the creation of the Danielle Byron Henry Migraine Foundation.

June is migraine and headache awareness month. Nearly one in four households in the U.S. has someone living with the condition. It’s more than just a headache. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that someone who lives with migraine disease loses on average two and a half years of healthy life.

This month the American Headache Society put the spotlight on Dr. Dan Henry, who has committed his career to improving the lives of those living with headache disorders.

We are thrilled to announce that June will be known as Migraine and Headache Awareness Month in the State of Utah.
