About Me

M.A.G.N.U.M., the National Migraine Association, was created to bring public awareness, utilizing the electronic, print and artistic mediums, to the fact that Migraine is a true biologic neurological disease, to assist Migraine sufferers, their families, and coworkers, and to help improve the quality of life of Migraine and head pain sufferers worldwide.
