headache blogs

A while ago I asked you to share your favourite headache or migraine related blogs with all of us.  Your comments were great!  As a result, I have updated the feed page, which has a summary of the latest blog posts from all over the web.  You can see the headache and migraine blog page here.  (Note: the page tends to be a little slow – you might even have to load it a couple of times to see the posts.  If all is working well, you should be able to scroll down to see links and summaries of the most recent posts.)

I was able to include almost all the feeds you recommended.  I have limited space with the system I’m using, but I think there were only two exceptions.  One blogger is no longer focusing on the migraine or headache theme, and another blog had no news feed that I could find.  Otherwise, I think they’re all there.  This blog is also in the feed.

Most of these blogs are not news and tips focused as this one is – many are personal blogs, maybe with a variety of topics, but there’s a constant theme of living with cluster headaches or chronic daily headache or migraine, etc.  These are important to read; to encourage and interact with the blogger, to realize you’re not alone (if you’re dealing with something similar) and to share ideas.

You don’t have to visit the page to see the blogs – you can also subscribe directly to the master feed, using the link on the page.

We may do it again sometime – meantime I’ve closed the comments because I can’t take new suggestions to add to the feed for the time being.  But thanks for all your suggestions – you’ve introduced us all to some great blogs!

Here’s a preview to get you started:

This is your chance to share with all the visitors of the Headache and Migraine News Blog your favourite related blogs (that’s favorite for you from the USA – spelled without the "u".  But in this case, u r who we want!).  But first, a little background and some ground rules.

Long ago I set up a page featuring a few of my favourites.  You can see the page of migraine blogs and headache blogs here.  Though the blogs in the aggregator are mostly still going and still excellent, the list is rather out of date.  Many new blogs have started since then, some have grown, some have ended.  It’s time to get together and find some new ones!

Ground rules

• »Limit your list to your top 5 – the best of the best.
• »Feel free to include your own blog – in fact, please do!  Tell us it’s yours, and be proud!
• »Include the words headache or migraine blogs (4 word phrase) in your comment – otherwise comments with a bunch of links might get sucked up by the filter.  This way I can find them if there’s a "false positive".
• »Finally, be sure they are generally focused around headache or migraine issues, or even general chronic pain issues.  Personal blogs about personal experiences are great!  However, if they only mention migraine once every six months, they’re probably not what we’re looking for.  Especially think of blogs we all might find helpful.

I will probably close the comments after a while – we’ll see how it goes.  Please share this post with anyone who might have a blog to share!

Now it’s all up to you – let’s see what happens!

It’s about time again to visit some headache/migraine/cluster/etc blogs for a few good recent posts…

• Often at this time of year, HeadWay has suggested some gift ideas for someone with migraine or headache.  It’s time for someone else’s suggestions – check out these holiday gift ideas.
• You’ve read before about one of migraine’s “friends” – thyroid disease.  For some newly updated information, read Thyroid Disease Can Be Linked To Headaches and Migraines
• Can you relate?  Most of you know The Monster
• We’re always looking for ways to get to sleep – ah yes, Sleep, Sweet Elusive Sleep
• The title says it all – ugly dog, bad day
• An interesting perspective on the spiritual side (or perhaps moral) of medication – medication: crutch or life line

It’s been a while since I’ve highlighted a few of the excellent headache or migraine related blogs that are out there.  So let me share with you a few recent posts which caught my attention…

• From About Headaches/Migraine comes this reminder to prepare your children for school.  No, not pencils and erasers – this is for the child with a chronic illness.  Read Back To School With a Chronic Illness
• We must say goodbye to My Migraine Battle: On The Forefront.  Here is the very last post from Jessica – End of Blog.  Be sure to go back and read some of Jessica’s earlier entries.
• And now, from Stream of Unconsciousness:  a post about a personal experience with migraine and other illnesses, which raises some interesting thoughts.
• From The Daily Headache, a post called Pain Pump & Nerve Stimulator Information includes links to more information, including an article with a quick overview of pain therapies.  Interesting.
