Winner of the December Headache and Migraine Super-Contest!

Thanks for all who entered the contest! We had surprisingly few entries, but all the better for those who entered!

The winner was chosen using random.org. And you’ll never guess who won!

Who could it be?

Remember, the winner gets a free copy of The Migraine Brain by Dr Carolyn Bernstein and Elaine McArdle, Migraine and Other Headaches by Dr William B Young and Dr Stephen D Silberstein, and a luxurious Celestial Dreams Sleep Eye Pillow. And then an eye extra pillow to give as a gift! (I just love these. But don’t give it to me, I already have one.)

What’s that? You want me to quit rambling and tell you who won?

All right, I will. But I’m going to say it quietly, in case any of you have a headache. The winner is Lizzie. Congratulations! (Actually, I just didn’t want to make it obvious at a glance who won. A little extra suspense, you know!) 😉

Send me your address and phone number, and I’ll get those off to you right away.

For those who didn’t win, or missed the chance to enter – don’t worry! There will be more contests. Stay tuned! 🙂

December Headache and Migraine Super-Contest!

James Website news

It’s been a long time since we’ve run a contest here, so I think it’s about time! This contest will run only one week, so get involved now before it’s too late!

The winner will receive three different items:

The Migraine Brain by Dr Carolyn Bernstein and Elaine McArdle. The Migraine Brain is a fairly new book (2008) with lots of practical ideas for dealing with your symptoms in real life, and finding long term solutions. Read my review of The Migraine Brain here.
Migraine and Other Headaches by Dr William B Young and Dr Stephen D Silberstein. A second book to balance things out, this excellent well-researched book about a variety of common conditions. Packed with information, this is a reference you can use again and again.
Celestial Dreams Sleep Eye Pillow – get to sleep easier, or take a power-nap with this deluxe eye pillow from Earth Therapeutics. Read more about what makes eye pillows great here.

Obviously you can keep these items for yourself, or give them away. But to make things even better, you’ll also get a second eye pillow that you can give to a friend! After all, it’s a great time to give gifts!

How to enter

This time we’re using a system of entries. This is how it will work. You can do any of the below, and gain more entries. However, you must leave a comment below telling me what you did and leaving the link. Obviously you must leave your full name and email address (name in the name slot, and email in the email slot so it doesn’t show up on the site of course – for my eyes only) so that I can contact you and announce the winner. Here are your options for gaining entries:

Simply leave a comment here.
Value: 1 entry
Link to Headache and Migraine News or Relieve-Migraine-Headache.com from your own website. You can link to any page you like, but it must be publicly viewable and not use the "nofollow" tag. (No brainer, I know – but believe it or not some people would try it!)
Value: 3 entries
Twitter about the contest. Must be new, linking to this site, and using the words Check out the December Headache and Migraine Super-Contest! (link to this post)
Value: 3 entries
Leave a new, valuable comment elsewhere on the site, then link to the post from here.
Value: 2 entries
Subscribe to the free ezine, HeadWay
Value: 2 entries

You can do all these things if you want, but only once. That means you can have a maximum of 11 entries. Please leave a comment for each of the above that you do – in other words, one comment if you twitter (with link), one if you commented on another post, one plain ordinary comment, etc.

When it’s all over

The contest closes on the 15th of December at 11:59pm Greenwich Mean Time. The winner will be chosen using random.org and announced on Friday, the 18th of December.

So go ahead – enter and see what happens! 😉
