Migraine New Zealand is a patient body advocacy group founded to support and fight for all New Zealanders living with migraine.
Migraine is a genetic, incurable, spectrum disorder. It is not “just a headache”.
Migraine New Zealand exists because we want migraine to be taken seriously in New Zealand, recognised as an invisible disability, and given a fair share of funding and services.
We want all New Zealanders living with migraine, whether they have a migraine attack every day, barely one a year, or anything in between, to feel supported and able to live a full and productive life. And, not feel like they have to hide their condition.

MIGRAINE LANGUAGE
The way we talk about migraine matters. Migraine is a common illness that is often stigmatized and misunderstood. Many people see those living with diseases as helpless or as victims of their condition, and disparaging language is used to describe them.
