Headache & Migraine Linkfest
I forgot all about submitting to the March 2009 edition of the Headache and Migraine Blog Carnival. (DUH!) And I get two reminders, as well. I guess I could blame the ear raisins for blocking my memory neurons as well as my ear canals.
This month’s blog topic was admittedly a tough subject to write about this time around — creating a migraine-friendly environment. This means living in a way to keep migraines at a minimum, not inviting them inside your home to party. This is best expressed in Diana Lee’s Coping with a Migraine: My Three Step Approach. (Meds, darken the room, get as comfy as possible).

Since I screwed up in forgettting to submit an article to this blog carnival, I thought I’d bounce around the web and find a few hopefully helpful websites about how to best survive a migraine attack. Think of this as March 2009 Headache Blog Carnival, Part 2:
- Living With Migraines: What to Expect is a HubPages testimony of one young migraineur’s struggle with her chronic pain. The article stumbles a bit in the beginning, but smooths out once she gets going. There are some nice tips in side grey boxes. She also can’t use triptans like Imitrex because of the cost (something many migrainuers can identify with).
- Migraine Prevention: Early Success by the ever-reliable Megan Oltman includes a very important tip for all migraineurs — keep your voices down when discussing migraine treatments or the migraine monsters might hear and come get you. These monsters are the offspring of Sod’s Law. Another important tip — don’t skip breakfast or lunch.
- And, for general all around advice about migraines, there’s Migraine Headaches: Ways to Deal with the Pain over at FamilyDoctor.org.
Let’s see if I forget to submit an article for next month’s blog carnival, which won’t have a theme. Darn, now I have too many choices!
