Juggling Work, Family & Migraine

Paula K. Dumas, founder of MigraineAgain.com, is a lifelong migraine warrior who shifted her focus from a successful career at CNN, Apple, and Disney to health advocacy. Once suffering from chronic migraine attacks 25 days a month, she reduced her frequency to less than one day a month and now helps others do the same.

Paula has served on the board of the American Migraine Foundation and is active in global advocacy with the Coalition for the Headache and Migraine Patients (CHAMP) and the International Headache Society. She and her husband lobby on Capitol Hill through the U.S. Headache on the Hill event, advocating for legislative support for those with migraine.

She has spoken at major forums such as the International Headache Academy and the Migraine World Summit. Paula co-authored the Chronic Migraine Epidemiology and Outcomes (CaMEO) and My Migraine Voice studies, which examine how migraine affects lives globally. She has also produced more than 200 videos, interviews, and podcasts; authored more than 300 articles; and co-founded the World Health Education Foundation, organizing one of the largest in-person events ever for migraine, the Migraine World Summit Onstage.
