Your Top Migraine Stories of 2014!
It’s that time of year again! Time to look back over the past few months to see what the big stories have been, and what you have been talking about.
Early in the year, a study started an unfortunate rumour that headaches are caused by stress. We took a closer look at the study and talked about the perennial danger of blaming headaches on stress – read more at “Proof” that Headaches are caused by Stress?
Early in the year we also talked about a topic that is not new but is often overlooked – Ibuprofen: Dangers of a “mild” medication…
Next we took a quick look at vitamin D, and why some specialists are asking many of us to take more: Vitamin D: An important Migraine Treatment?
A surprisingly simple home remedy with some actual science behind it – Baking Soda for Headaches?
As we headed into the spring of 2014, we looked into some new technology to alleviate migraine symptoms – custom tinted contacts – Tinted Contact Lenses for Migraines?
And a rather important post for doctors treating patients with headache disorders, related to sleep: This Key Sleep Question Could Lead to Better Treatment for Headache Disorders
Heading into the summer, the conversation about new migraine drugs continued from 2013 – CGRP blocking meds: Will new Migraine Med fight Obesity and Diabetes?
And a fascinating look at an overlooked migraine symptom – Neck Pain: A Missing Piece of the Migraine Puzzle?
And fighting back at misdiagnosis, we took a look at lupus: Is it Migraine or Lupus?
And as we move late into the year… we all suspected it, but is there science behind it? Is Your Brain “Slower” During A Migraine Attack?
And I certainly learned something new this year – something about that “pounding” migraine pain – A Migraine Mystery (You’ll never guess this one…)
And in December we ended on a positive note, with an interview with Dr. Peter Goadsby: The “Revolution” in Migraine Treatment (Dr. Peter Goadsby)
