Most Popular Headache and Migraine Articles of 2020!

What are all those people doing, you ask? Well, they’re looking for useful information at Headache and Migraine News, of course!

But the question is – what are their favourite articles?

Well, it’s time to find out which were the all time top articles of 2020. Next week we’ll look at the top articles of all time (not including this year. Because some of you would rather not include this year!).

First, in the unusual and alternative treatments and migraine-fighters category (catchy title, no?) –

• Migraine, Heart Disease, and Vitamin K2 – Yes, K2 is all the rage in 2020. So … do you know what it is, and how to get it?
• The Humble Tennis Ball, and Headache – Why do I have a tennis ball in a drawer in my bedroom, you ask? Well, because it’s a surprising headache fighter! Here are some tips, links, and other ideas to try.
• Grape Seed Extract: We’re still talking about it for migraine… – An older treatment that is still gaining converts as a migraine-fighter.
• Eyestrain? Seriously, Try Iris Now. – Yes, eyestrain was the name of the game in 2020. Fed up, many people are trying out Iris to give their eyes a break, and to get better sleep and of course cut down on migraine and headache attacks.
• A Green Lamp for Migraine? – Yes, believe it or not, the Allay Lamp was kind of a big deal in 2020. And yes, Allay is now on Amazon too, and getting good reviews. This was the top post in this category in 2020!

Next, sorry to say, the COVID-19 category. We did talk about it from various angles, but these two posts did make it into the greatest hits –

• Is it Migraine or COVID-19? The surprising similarities – Yes, there are more similarities than you may realize. Reading this article may ease your mind if you wake up tomorrow morning with some of these symptoms.
• COVID-19 Headache – Yes, it’s a thing, so we’d better talk about it here. Here’s what you can expect with COVID-19 in the achy head department.

Ok, now that that’s over with, it will be no surprise that the most popular category at all was in the CGRP related drugs category! They’ve gotten a lot of press, especially over the past two or three years. Here’s what you read the most in 2020 –

• CGRP Medication Side Effects – “I hadn’t thought of that…” – It’s very important to be aware of the side effects of new medications you’re taking. But some of us need an excuse to stop and think about what we may be experiencing. This article is your excuse.
• CGRP Drugs and Weight Gain – Is this an issue? As you might guess with new meds, the information is still sparse. But reports are coming in.
• Vyepti to fight Migraine – How is it different (and what’s with the name?!)? – A preventative approved in the USA in February, designed to be taken only every three months.
• Introducing Nurtec for Migraine – Approved in March, maybe this medication should get the “bad timing” award – bad timing because its entrance into the market was crowded out of the health headlines by … well, other things. But – our readers found it! This time, an abortive and fast-acting new med for migraine.
• Ubrelvy – Fast Facts about the New Migraine Drug – Just one more in the greatest hits – and one of the absolute top posts of the year. Quick and clear info about the new abortive drug.

Thanks again for reading and sharing! It continues to be a privilege to get useful, clear and accurate information out to you. I hope that something you’ve read has kept the headaches and migraine attacks far away.

Next week we’ll look at some highlights from past years – maybe you’ll find another helpful nugget that will make next year better!
