WHAT IS MAGNUM AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER HEADACHE GROUPS, SUCH AS THE NATIONAL HEADACHE FOUNDATION?
MAGNUM is a non-profit public awareness group focusing on Migraine issues. MAGNUM stands for Migraine Awareness Group: a National Understanding for Migraineurs. Unlike other national non-profits, such as the National Headache Foundation, AHS, and ACHE, MAGNUM is dedicated to Migraine disease alone, vs. headache and Migraine disease, and therefore acts as a dedicated spokesman for Migraine. MAGNUM’s board of directors includes Migraine sufferers, non-Migraine sufferers, top neurologists, pharmacists, and others. It is important that a group dedicated to Migraine exists because in recent years, it has been discovered that the causes and treatment of Migraine are very different from those of tension headache. Therefore, it is important for a group such as MAGNUM to be dedicated to addressing the many myths about Migraine (such as Migraine is just a bad tension headache or Migraine is caused by stress, which it is not) and the misinformation still reported in national media and in outdated
