Highlights

It’s time again to highlight the posts that have been most popular with you!

I apologize for not posting more in October, but all going well things will be a little more regular now. Hopefully those who are subscribed to HeadWay will also see a new edition in their inbox today or tomorrow. 🙂

So here are the top 10 posts, with the most popular posts on Facebook in bold. And I’ll tell you a secret – the first post on the list – no competition at all – it was by far the most popular post both here and on Facebook.

1. The Migraine Brain: Very “Connected”
2. Headache Waking You Up? Could Be Hypnic Headache.
3. Are we ruling out hemicrania continua too soon?
4. Warning Flag: Do you have non-headache pain?
5. Is Your Medication Being Absorbed? Gastroparesis and Headaches
6. Migraine: A Worldwide Crisis?
7. Drug Shortages: Good News Turning Into Bad News
8. Sleep Master: A New Kind of Face Mask to Help You Finally Sleep
9. Botox for Migraines: Will it work when other treatments don’t?
10. The Ophthalmic Migraine Kaleidoscope

It’s always interesting to see which posts have been most popular with you, our community. This time around, it was very clear that four topics had jumped far up ahead of any other. So I’m going to post a little summary of the first four (actually, five) so that you can see what has generated all the interest, before you click through for the full story.

As usual, the three posts with the most Facebook likes are in bold. This is still a top ten list, even though it only goes to 9 – two posts are lumped together. 🙂

1. The Migraine Brain: Very “Connected” – a brand new study is giving us insights into how the brain of someone with migraine is different, and how this may explain key migraine symptoms.
2. Dizziness – Migraine – Could they be Dysautonomia Symptoms? and Dysautonomia and Migraine – do you feel weak, dizzy or faint when standing up or lying down? It could be a sign of an underlying condition that is making your migraine symptoms worse.
3. A Review of Icekap – Icekap has generated a LOT of interest. It’s a new product that applies an old non-drug therapy for migraine in a new and up-to-date way.
4. Botox and CGRP – and the Future of Migraine Treatment – treatments related to CGRP are perhaps the hottest thing in migraine research today. Could our study of Botox treatment and CGRP treatment provide a key to better “customized” treatment of migraine in the near future?
5. Headache Waking You Up? Could Be Hypnic Headache.
6. Are we ruling out hemicrania continua too soon?
7. Are Solar Flares Giving Me A Headache?
8. Is Your Medication Being Absorbed? Gastroparesis and Headaches
9. Warning Flag: Do you have non-headache pain?
