The Migraine Quiz

Are you looking for a gentle way to let your friends know a little more about migraine? Does it seem like they just don’t understand, but you’re tired of trying to explain? Then send

them over to the Migraine [sensitivity] Quiz. Let them see for themselves just how sensitive they are to a friend or family member who’s a migraineur.

It’s a short quiz – only 15 true or false questions. At the end, they’ll get a score, and have a chance to learn more. But I think they’ll find they’ve already learned a lot!

My only request is that you link to the introductory page, and not the quiz itself. That page is located at:

http://relieve-migraine-headache.com/migraine-quiz.html

Feel free to copy the graphic above and use it on your own site. And remember – fair’s fair – feel free to take the quiz yourself! No, you don’t have to tell anyone your score (unless you got 100% and want to rub it in)…

The bloggers are back!

James Resources, Website news 0

They’re back! Well, they’ve never been gone, but the view from here has been a little hazy. You can once again be introduced to other great bloggers via this page on the site. And the page is better than ever – much more current, for one thing. For example, posts that I enjoyed from today include Kerrie’s discussion of prescription drug stickers, Jessica’s update on her meds, and from Teri a clever device you can use to monitor how much water you’re drinking. Is this great stuff or what?

The other advantage to the new page is that the name of the blog is included in the title. This means that you can find your favourite bloggers at a glance. The purpose of this page is to introduce you to other sites, and people that you may be able to relate to. We’re better together!

Remember, these blogs will be edited and added to – check back often for new bloggers, new entries, and great ideas for dealing with headaches, migraine and cluster headaches! Read the latest posts now…

Blogging friends…

James Website news 0

My apologies that the headache and migraine blog aggregator has been down. Normally we have featured there many excellent blogs, such as Stream of Unconsciousness, The Daily Headache, and A ClusterHead’s Life. Stop by these sites if you haven’t seen them! Those and the others will be featured here again soon.

I’m hoping that the new and improved blog page will be up next week. Technology is still developing in this area, so all going well it will get better and better! Technology – it’s great when it works…

Some site clean up

James Website news 0

There have been a number of updates to the site over the past little while. This includes updated information, fixing of broken links, and reworking of some pages.

For example, there’s a bigger list of headache types now, and the page is (I hope) a little clearer.

The page about preventative migraine medications has been greatly updated, with links to some of the drug profiles we’ve been seeing on the site. You can read articles on drugs such as Topomax, ibuprofen, Botox, and many more. Thanks to a request from a HeadWay subscriber, some recent issues have included up to date profiles on some of the popular migraine and headache meds. Most recently (in September) methysergide (Sansert, Deseril) was profiled.

This site is always being updated with new research and more information – feel free to look around and see what else is new!

How long have you had chronic headaches?

James Discoveries & Stats, Website news 1

Here are the results of the poll that we’ve been running here at Relieve-Migraine-Headache.com. The question was, I’ve had chronic headaches for… (how long). 837 people responded, and here’s what they said:

So, almost 40% had had headaches for over 20 years, almost 62% for over 10 years.

On the brighter side, I just got an email from a former HeadWay subscriber who said she was unsubscribing because she’d had very few headaches over the past year thanks to a preventative medication she had been taking. Those are the kinds of emails I love to get!

So keep fighting back! There’s hope, even after 20 years.

On the main news page is a new poll. Take a moment to vote!
