Deborah Henscheid Lorenz is an intellectual property lawyer at Lorenz & Kop, LLP, and also a long-time migraine sufferer. As a board member with the American Migraine Foundation she serves as a patient advocate, and sees the board as a place where voices like hers can collectively educate the public that migraine is a painful disease and not just a headache. Through advocacy, she hopes migraine will be recognized as a legitimate disease worthy of significant research funds. Her ultimate goal is to help advocate for advanced treatment options that prevent migraines from occurring, without objectionable side effects.
