As I was leafing through it, I came across an article about the role of government in supporting volunteers, and realized how many of us depend upon volunteerism without being aware of it. I suspect that you may not realize how important a headache education and support group leader is to the National Headache Foundation (NHF),... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/48335/support-important http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/48333/headaches-economy Wed, 29 Oct 2008 15:28:00 -0400 National Headache Foundation In a recent online survey, the National Headache Foundation queried Web site visitors regarding how the economic downturn is affecting them and how they manage their headaches and Migraines. Not surprisingly, the study reveals that they make significant changes in headache and Migraine treatment and prevention methods during a financial crisis.   The survey revealed that 82% of respondents claim to have made financial cut-backs due to the... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/48333/headaches-economy http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/39729/headache-migraine Fri, 05 Sep 2008 11:26:00 -0400 National Headache Foundation -from Susan Barron, NHF Support Group and Membership Services Coordinator   Working for the National Headache Foundation (NHF), I frequently hear from headache and migraine sufferers that they lack adequate support. This is not to say that their families and close friends aren't there for them, but after a point, even the most understanding spouse, sibling or child may lose heart from the interruption of social activities or the lack of... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/39729/headache-migraine http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/35707/diagnosis Thu, 31 Jul 2008 14:01:00 -0400 National Headache Foundation -from Suzanne Simons, NHF Executive Director The term "headache" is often overused. "Headache" means different things to different people. Some sufferers say they have a "sick" headache or a "stress" headache, but regardless of what you call it, determining what type of head pain disorder you have is the first step to finding appropriate treatment.   In a recent online survey by the National Headache Foundation (NHF), 73% of headache... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/35707/diagnosis http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/32404/headache-sufferer Sun, 29 Jun 2008 22:51:00 -0400 National Headache Foundation -from Susan Barron, NHF Support Group and Membership Services Coordinator   Although my "headaches" didn't start until I was in my mid-30s, I was completely unaware of what was happening to me. I didn't have a clue as to why I was so sick at work and in the bathroom several times a day, and then as soon as I got home, headed straight to bed with a terrible headache.  I was convinced I had a brain tumor.  Because I was... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/32404/headache-sufferer http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/28716/awareness-june-1 Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:53:00 -0400 National Headache Foundation I am so happy to be blogging with you today about the National Headache Foundation (NHF) and National Headache Awareness Week (NHAW), which takes place June 1-7.  You may be wondering what the NHF is.  We were established in 1970 as a non-profit organization by a group of physicians who understood the need for an organization to provide support and information to all types of headache sufferers.    So who are we today?... http://www.healthcentral.com/migraine/c/40306/28716/awareness-june-1
