Congratulations to our HeadWay subscriber – Sally Anne, from the USA – who won a copy of…

The Healthy Brain Book

The Healthy Brain Book: An All-Ages Guide to a Calmer, Happier, Sharper You: A proven plan for managing anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and preventing and reversing dementia and Alzheimer’s

Don’t you love books with short, catchy titles? 😀 Of course, the book has two authors Drs. William Sears and Vincent M. Fortanasce), so I guess that’s a good reason for an extra long title.

Anyway, this book is packed with tips for a healthier brain.

If you’re not a HeadWay subscriber, you can sign up right here for free. Not only can you be involved in giveaways like this, you will also have a special say about the topics we focus on, through your input in the HeadWay MailRoom.

Enjoy your book, Sally Anne!

Now that we’ve hit the top 10 most popular articles, it’s time for me to have my say. Here are the articles that didn’t make the top 10, but that are still important enough to check out…

Thanks again for fighting migraine and headaches in 2018! Stay involved in 2019, and let’s make things better for everyone.

How can you stay involved? Make sure you’re connected on Facebook, check out Twitter (there is a lot of information on those two mediums that you don’t see here), and subscribe to HeadWay (HeadWay subscribers have a special MailRoom where they can ask questions in priority).

See you next year!

HeadWay (first issue)

HeadWay (You didn’t miss it)

If you subscribe to the ezine HeadWay, you may be wondering if you missed the January issue. No, you didn’t. I decided that, this month, discretion is the better part of valor, and I have had to cut back a bit on my regular writing (temporarily, I hope!).

But I’m looking forward to a new edition of HeadWay in February!

HeadWay (first issue)
The first issue of HeadWay (2003)
If you’re not aware of HeadWay, it’s an ezine that’s been published almost monthly for almost 13 and a half years. HeadWay keeps you updated on headache and migraine news topics, usually in a more in-depth way. It also helps define common terms that you’ll see when learning about various headache conditions.

Topics covered over the years include “off-label” medications, how to prepare for an emergency, evaluation of supplements, how to talk to your doctor effectively, menstrual migraine, combo drugs, vertigo, inexpensive treatments, and much more.

But there’s another benefit to subscribing to HeadWay. Subscribers are like a special executive committee here – they have their own special mail room which they can use to submit thoughts and ideas that influence not only HeadWay but online articles as well.

So if you’re not one of HeadWay’s 10,000+ subscribers, why not subscribe today? It’s free!

Fight Migraine with our HeadWay Community

0

This September, our HeadWay community took a big step forward in the fight against migraine.  It’s time to say thank you – and to ask you to join them!

Last month those who subscribe to the free e-zine, HeadWay, were asked to support the Migraine Research Foundation.  The response was overwhelming.  Although I don’t know the exact amount that was raised, the MRF president, Cathy Glaser, wrote to say that they were “inundated” with donations.

The Migraine Research Foundation - supporting Migraine Research around the World

As many of you know, we have long supported the MRF here.  But I would like to ask you to join with the HeadWay community today to support migraine research.  If every person reading this post gave only a few dollars, it would be a huge boost to migraine research around the world.

Below is a summary (from the September edition of HeadWay) of some of the research that the Migraine Research Foundation has funded.  Action is being taken to help migraine sufferers like us, and our families.

Please give now to the Migraine Research Foundation.  If you would like to encourage others to give, you can show your support (with your name or anonymously) by donating through FirstGiving.

Thanks again to the many HeadWay subscribers who gave so generously to fight migraine!

What kind of research has the MRF funded?  Let’s take a quick look at some of the past and present research:

  • What impact does migraine have on children and teens, and how is current treatment helping? (Cincinnati Children’s Hospital)
  • How does the “cortical spreading depression” common in migraine influence migraine symptoms? (University of CA & Imperial College London)
  • Could medication based on GLYX-13 slow or even stop a migraine attack? (New York Medical College)
  • How might triptans lead to medication overuse headache? (University of New England)
  • Is a gene mutation changing how estrogen functions, leading to more migraine attacks? (Brigham Young University USA)
  • Could insulin be used in new migraine treatments to fight chronic migraine? (Chicago Medical Center)
  • How do glutamate receptor gene variants change migraine symptoms? (Institute of Genetics and Biophysics Italy)
  • Which genetic factors may impact migraine and cardivascular disease? (Brigham and Women’s Hospital Boston)
  • Does a certain molecule in the body help explain how migraine becomes chronic? (University of Chicago Medical Center)
  • Could the drug ibudilast finally fight chronic migraine? (University of Adelaide, Australia)
  • How can we use inhibitory transcranial alternating current stimulation to fight migraine? (Georg-August University Germany)
  • How can we use a feature length documentary to raise awareness and promote migraine research? (Human Arts Association New York)

Note:  I do not work for, and am not officially affiliated with the Migraine Research Foundation.  Not a penny of any donation goes to me.  In fact, the MRF has reminded us that “All our operating costs are underwritten so every dollar raised goes to fund migraine research and support sufferers.“
