Headache & Migraine Disease Blog Carnival

Back to School – September 2010 Headache & Migraine Disease Carnival

0

I want to particularly highlight the Headache & Migraine Disease Carnival this month, not only because of the blog entries, but also the extra information that was included.

The posts are filled with excellent advice – I suggest you read them all, especially if you are currently in high school, college or university.

Also, if you have younger kids that may have migraine or chronic headache, don’t miss the NY Times article Returning to Classrooms, and to Severe Headaches.  For general help, particularly for parents, guardians and teachers trying to help children with headache symptoms, read Dealing with child migraines?

I have some friends right now trying to help a child who has been having an increasing number of headaches.  It’s not easy – it takes time and patience.  One of the best bits of advice I can offer?  See a doctor, take it seriously, watch closely, and don’t just write it off as "stress".

Yes, I had an entry in this month’s carnival too.  Sadly off topic, but still important.  If you haven’t read it yet, don’t miss Found: Genetic Link to "Basic" Migraine.

Headache and Migraine Disease Blog Carnival: Art

Don’t miss the blog carnival that was posted earlier this month on the topic of headache and migraine art.  This month the carnival was hosted by Pain in the Head here.

You can read the entries for yourself, but a couple of short ones really caught my attention.  First, this brief poem along with photos says a lot about migraine.

Secondly, check out My Hospital Migraine Art.  The words on the drawing will stay with me for a long time:

DO NOT LEAVE ME ALONE
I am in here.
Somewhere

My entry was a silent video and links to other headache and migraine art articles here.

Headache and Migraine Disease Blog Carnival

It’s that time of month for the Headache & Migraine Disease Blog Carnival!  This month’s topic – Coping strategies for migraine.  There’s quite an eclectic set of posts, as always.  Not only are there some articles about coping, there are a few posts on other topics.

If you’re a migraine blogger yourself, you may want to participate.  Next month’s topic is Migraines and Physical Activity: How do you remain active?

Exercise and headache is a hotly discussed topic.  To get started, read these exercise tips for those with headache, this article about how exercise can fight headache and migraine, and these tips to stop getting a headache from exercise.
