January 2009 Headache Blog Carnival
by
The first blog carnival of the new year is up at Somebody Heal Me, chaperoned by the lovely Diana Lee. As you probably know, a blog carnival is a bunch of blog posts that revolve around a central topic. The topic explored (or ignored) is “What Keeps You Going When You’re Suffering.” I answered the question with, “Revenge”.
Highlights
As always, if I haven’t chosen your article, it’s not meant to be an insult. The following highlights are based soley on my personal tastes in reading:
- Rosalind Joffe at WorkingWithChronicIllness.com presents some practical advice in “What Gets You Through The Times of Pain/Fatigue or Just Plain Can’t Do?” The title is a little convuluted but the article isn’t. Rosalind used to have multiple schlerosis, had sinus surgery and therefore is more than qualified to write about pain. If you’re in a rush, skip to the list at the end.
- If you sleep on your stomach and suffer from chronic headaches, take a painkiller and read “Sleeping Off My Headache?” from Without Dash. Sadly, no mater what position my body takes to sleep, it hasn’t affected my migraines any.
- Jasmine’s “The Pursuit of Painlessness” at first seems a little too optimistic, but then smooths out with a good blend of hope and reality. The comments below are quite interesting, too.
- James presents a heaping helping of food for thought with “What Everyone Should Know About Telcagepant — The Coming Migraine Drug”. Telcagepant is hoped to work fro migraineurs who can’t take triptans.
Next Month
Next month’s topic promises to be loaded with Google ads — the theme is “Sex and Migraines”. Entries due Friday, February 6. Remember, your blog post doesn’t have to center on migraines or headaches. You don’t get paid, but it’s good publicity.
