Your favourite Migraine or Headache Blogs
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 Though the blogs in the aggregator are mostly still going and still excellent, the list is rather out of date.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!

My blog is http://www.artin.org/blog – not as a frequent poster as most sites. One of my favorite sites is Migraine Chickie at http://migrainechickie.blogspot.com/ – she’s comical about the pain.
