Did you know that Megan Oltman hosts a monthly Teleconference with some well known or very knowledgeable people in the Migraine, health and related community fields? Megan started the informational Teleconferences earlier this year and has already hosted quite a few of these interactive calls. Have you registered for or attended any sessions?

Not because I feel I need one at this time, but because we should always reevaluate our situations, keep all of our options open and because of something I'll mention shortly.

Ok, let me step back a little bit. It's normally a trigger food because of the way it's prepared and it's one of the all too irresistible type of foods that I've just recently learned to be able to turn away.I love chicken franchise. So how come I ate it if I can now pass it up? I was part of the planning committee for the end of season party for my son's sports award... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/407610/72961/trigger-today http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/407610/72196/stackable Mon, 25 May 2009 08:28:00 -0400 MigrainePuppet The more I have learned about Migraines, in a layman's sense, the more I feel I don't know about them and need to learn additional information.
