We’re bringing new meaning to the word “community.”
As humans, we are hardwired for connection. Belonging to a community makes us feel safe and helps us thrive.
But often, living with migraine can make you feel physically and emotionally isolated. Not only can it be hard to do things you loved before your diagnosis, but it can also sometimes feel like no one understands what it’s like.
Until now.
What we’re all about
Bezzy Migraine is a free online platform bringing new meaning to the word “community.”
Our aim is to create an experience where:
- everyone feels seen, valued, and understood
- everyone’s story matters
- shared vulnerability is the name of the game
I used to dream about having a migraine chat room to hop into on Friday nights with other migraineurs stuck at home not feeling well. Love that we can all connect here for support. It’s never fun to have to sit something out because of migraine, but I find it stings a little more on weekends.

Bezzy Migraine is a place where you’re more than your condition. It’s a place where, finally, you belong.
What you can expect here
Membership is free, and members get full access to the community, including:
- Forums. From treatments to relationships and daily living, migraine changes everything. Whatever you’re feeling on any given day, there’s a forum where you can connect and share directly with others.
- Stories. We believe that shared experiences empower the kind of belonging that can help people not only survive, but also thrive with migraine. Our stories offer perspectives and tips from people who know what it’s like.
- Messaging. If you’re a Bezzy Migraine app user, you can connect through private messaging. (P.S. if you’re not, you can download the app here.)
- Live chats. Need to vent? Get advice? Share what’s on your mind? Hop into a daily live chat to join the conversation. They’re often led by Eileen Zollinger, our amazing community guide. But you can also expect to chat with other advocates and experts.
- Social-first content. You can stay connected to your community on other platforms, too. Follow us on Instagram for special videos, tips, and more.
- Safety. We take thoughtful steps to build safety, security, and privacy into our platform and foster an environment where members feel safe sharing personal stories and experiences.
So why do we call it Bezzy?
Our name is derived from the British English word for a person’s best or closest friend.
Inspired by the transformative nature of friendship, Bezzy Migraine is committed to providing a safe space for shared experiences and authentic conversations, where understanding and acceptance thrive.
We hope you’ll join us.
