More funding for Canadian migraine research

Here in Canada, the government is increasing funding to migraine research.  Among many other things, of course.  This isn’t a political blog, so don’t worry, I’m not going to get into health care and which government does a better job and all that.  But this is a headache and migraine blog, and naturally I do think that study of migraine is important!  It tends to be overlooked because it’s not perceived to be "dangerous" (of course, it is dangerous in a number of ways).

So when governments and hospitals and individuals and employers are thinking about migraine, they need to remember the financial costs.  The mental trauma.  The related problems.  The possibility of long term problems connected with migraine.  And a little compassion for the pain people go through should be thrown in.

No, migraine is not the greatest threat to mankind.  But it traditionally hasn’t been given the attention it deserves.  It’s time for that to change.
