Meet the author!

No, you don’t have to travel to a blog-signing somewhere, or wait for a specific date (when you might have a headache anyway!).  You can meet me right now, through my new "Life of a Migraineur" series.

Sometimes it helps to know what someone else has gone through.  Maybe you’d just like to see the person behind the Headache and Migraine News Blog.  If so, here’s the series – it’s long… I mean, in-depth, 😉 so it’s in several parts:

• Part 1: Childhood of a Migraineur – Actually, I got off to a rather traumatic start.  First of all, I really didn’t want to leave the womb.  This resulted in hours and hours of labour for my poor Mom – and I blame it all on my own stubbornness…
• Part 2: Diagnosis – Go west, young man.  And I did. I went west with my parents, to the great beautiful prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada…
• Part 3: Intense treatment – Many of you reading already know what a migraine attack is like.  So I don’t want to go into all the details.  But I will at least give a hint of what an attack might be like in this point of my life…
• Part 4: Intense research – Life went on during all of this treatment, and I learnt a lot of life lessons as well as lessons about migraine.  For example, you can’t put your life on hold while you wait to see if the next treatment will work…
• Part 5: Connections – The hard work I put into the website, blog and ezine has been worth it – and the proof is in the feedback I’ve gotten.  Actually, it wasn’t long before I started getting emails that told me I wasn’t alone in my frustration with with misinformation and missing information about migraine and headaches…
