Where not to live in the USA

If you live in the USA, you may be interested in the following list, created by Sperling’s BestPlaces and sponsored by Ortho-McNeil Neurologics, Inc.  The question is, what is the worst place in the USA for a migraineur to live?  The stats are not only based on how many people in the area have migraine, but also various environmental and lifestyle factors that tend to contribute to migraine.  Over 100 large urban areas were taken into consideration.

Ok, so most people aren’t going to get up and move.  It’s just something to brag about to your friends.  Then again, perhaps you don’t want to mention it – you’ll just be blamed for not moving.  We just can’t win, can we?

I’d love to see stats like this for other countries.  In Canada, the Calgary area is notorious simply because of the dramatic weather changes.  But then again, the lifestyle overall tends to be better than in a lot of urban areas.  I’ve travelled and lived in various countries and haven’t noticed much of a difference.  How about you?  Are your migraines geographically related?
