Posts of the Decade?

Everybody’s doing it. Everybody is looking back at the decade, so why can’t we? 🙂

Listing the most popular articles of the decade is a bit dangerous, because what is “popular” does not mean most important. It has a lot to do with the whims to search engines, and who happened to link to what. So sometimes “popular” posts over such a long period of time may be pretty niche.

But it’s still fun to see… so here we go! Most popular first:

1. Aura Eye Symptoms – Have You Seen THIS?!: This is quite simply a quick discussion of visual aura. But aura can be so interesting/frightening/disabling that this post led to a host of comments and discussion. Check it out!
2. Nortriptyline for Chronic Pain: Another post that generated a lot of discussion. You might also be interested in Topiramate + Nortriptyline (and another reason why treatment is not simple).
3. Getting a Headache right after Drinking Alcohol?: We’re not talking about your typical hangover here. This is a headache that strikes within two or three hours of your first sip, and it’s not normal.
4. Migraine and Histamine: Part 1: A deep dive into the topic, continuing of course in Migraine and Histamine: Part 2.
5. Why You Should Ignore the “Daith Piercings for Migraine” Hype: Yep, this article. It certainly generated a lot of discussion, but we’re still waiting to see daith piercings become a widely accepted and studied treatment. If you have some scientific info to direct us to, please go to Daith Piercing for Migraine: Resources and Updates.
6. Is Stevia giving me a Migraine Attack?: This generated a LOT of conversation, and the discussion was still going strong in 2019!
7. Headache After Eating? Common Causes and Fixes: It may be common, but it shouldn’t be ignored. Here are some things to think about if this is regularly happening to you.
8. Do Polarized Lenses make you dizzy, or give you headaches?: Some people do experience this, because people are reading and commenting.
9. Aneurysm and Headache: 9 Ways to Know if I’m in Danger: There are times when you should get checked by a doctor right away. Take time to learn the warning signs! You might also want to check out Migraine vs Brain Aneurysm – Which is it?.
10. Can I be Migraine-Free and still eat Cheese?: If you’re like me, and you love cheese, you’ll want to check this one out.

So there you go – 10 years! Thanks again for being a part of it. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go in our fight against migraine and headache!

See you in 2020!
