How do you pronounce MAV

Is it pronounced as em-aye-vee - 3 separate letters? or is it mav as in rhyming with have, which brings up another question, why doesn’t have rhyme with save?
How do doctors pronounce it, or maybe they say vestibular migraine. :slight_smile:

It’s pronounced hell.

But I usually just say M-A-V.

(It sounds kind of odd to say something like, “Well, the doctor gave me a new pill for my mav”, “I’ve had mav for the last three months,” “If I don’t get over my mav soon, I will be forced to repeatedly beat myself in the head with heavy objects until someone hooks me up to a morphine drip,” etc…)

That is the truth…but I say it rhymes with have…

Well, yes… saying M-A-V rhymes with have. But more importantly, it allows you to make a really bad pun that way: “There are two groups of people – the MAV’s and the MAV-not’s!”

Why can’t I be a MAV-NOT???

You crack me up George!!

MAV is just an acronym for migraine associated vertigo.

MAV rhymes with have for me! And then there’s “Migraine Associated Dizziness” in which case you are MAD.
