Here are the 5 posts that have been most popular with visitors over the past three months. Hopefully this is helpful to you, if you haven’t had time to catch some of the more important articles. 🙂

1. Snopes takes on Cream of Tartar for Migraine: It’s not often that a Snopes article makes the rounds that is specifically focused on a migraine remedy, but the popular anti-myth site got some attention last month with a discussion of cream of tartar as a migraine remedy.
2. Ajovy for Migraine – and Cluster? Another New Drug: Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) (formerly called TEV-48125), a new anti-CGRP drug for migraine, was approved in the USA by the FDA last month.
3. Struggling with Rosacea? Tell Your Doctor about Your Headaches: Rosacea is a chronic skin condition, that first shows up (usually on the face) as episodes of “flushing” or redness of the skin.
4. Barometric Pressure Headache – Experiencing Bad Weather?: Headaches and the weather have been a subject of controversy for a long time. Not because people don’t experience barometric pressure headaches, but because the relationship between atmospheric pressure and headache is hard to measure.
5. New Migraine Meds in a New Year – and should I care?: Although I wouldn’t recommend that anyone pin all their hopes on the up-and-coming migraine medications, yes, there are some reasons why you should care about the new meds that are out, and the new ones we may see this year (and beyond).
