How many Migraineurs have heard that one? (And in our minds, we hear the resounding chorus of, "Me! I've hear that one!" Ugh.   We're often told that we need to exercise for better health; told that our Migraines and headaches would improve if we exercise. We all understand that, BUT we still cringe when we hear it.   How on earth are we to exercise when... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/27476/migraineurs-sneak http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26999/wonderland-syndrome Mon May 05 11:56:28 -0400 2008 Teri Robert Imagine this... You're hallucinating, and you know it... Time is messed up. First it seems slowed, then it seems to be speeding up... Even more noticeably, when you look at your body, it seems to be morphing. You're getting smaller... Minutes later, you're growing larger and larger. That's a description of "Alice in Wonderland" syndrome, a rare form of Migraine aura.   Learn more in Alice In Wonderland Syndrome - The Basics. http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26999/wonderland-syndrome http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26409/times-migraine-blog Tue Apr 29 12:58:00 -0400 2008 Teri Robert I'd been wondering what happened to the NY Times Migraine blog. It appeared and was very active for a period of time with new posts at least once a week. Then nothing after March 10.   One of our readers, Abi Addison, emailed Paula Kamen and asked her about it. Paula told Abi that the blog had been a four-week gig, not an ongoing blog. Not the answer any of us would have hoped for, but there you have it!   Thanks for the info,... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26409/times-migraine-blog http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26269/headache-announcing Mon Apr 28 15:05:00 -0400 2008 Teri Robert Each year, we conduct the Putting Our Heads Together Poetry Contest to bring together people with AND without Migraine disease and headaches to share our thoughts and expressions. This contest is held in April, National Poetry Month.   Selecting the winners is difficult at best because they're all "winners." Yes, that sounds trite, but it's true. Every poem is a bittersweet piece from the heart — expressing the pain,... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/26269/headache-announcing http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25566/migraine-headache Sat Apr 19 12:16:09 -0400 2008 Teri Robert   What IS your head pain? How should you treat it? So. Here it is, another day . . . and another day with head pain. What to do...  Migraine abortives...  pain medication?  sleep?  relaxation exercises? It all depends on what kind of head pain you have. It's sometimes hard to tell, and one kind of head pain can trigger another. For example, tension headaches will frequently trigger a Migraine for... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25566/migraine-headache http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25380/blog-headaches Thu Apr 17 01:35:00 -0400 2008 Teri Robert Do you blog about Migraine disease or headaches on a regular basis, at least once a month?   If so, you may well be the kind of blogger I'm looking for. Looking around the blogosphere, I can't help but be impressed by the number of excelleng Migraine and headache blogs. Wow! That started me thinking of ways for us to work together to make all of our blogs more visible and effective.   To that end, I started a Yahoo! group for... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25380/blog-headaches http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25087/april-blog-coping Mon Apr 14 14:30:00 -0400 2008 Teri Robert   Generally speaking, a blog carnival is a collection of links to a variety of a blogs on a central topic.  The Headache & Migraine Disease Blog Carnival has been created to provide both headache and Migraine disease patients and people who blog about headache disorders with unique opportunities to share ideas on topics of particular interest and importance to us.  This month's carnival is a collection of... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25087/april-blog-coping http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25022/coping-staying Sat Apr 12 12:44:00 -0400 2008 Teri Robert Migraine disease and headaches can be devastating. They can make us feel isolated, ineffective, and guilty. After a while, we can begin to wonder if part of it IS "all in our heads," even though we know better intellectually. Our emotional selves are sometimes at odds with our more rational intellectual selves.   What we must remember if we're to cope well with Migraines and headaches is to take a holistic approach and... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/123/25022/coping-staying
