January Headache Blog Carnival
The second in a series of blog carnivals devoted to headache and migraine care went up this week. This series of headache blog carnivals is being sponsored bravely by Diane Lee on her excellent website “Somebody Heal Me”. If you’re not familiar with the term “blog carnival”, all it means is a list and short synopsis of various blog posts aroung the blogosphere that have to do with one subject. Sadly, no cotton candy (candly floss) is sold.
Starting The Year Off Right
That’s the theme of the January headache blog carnival, so all of the posts have something to do with trying to make a new start or take our headache-ridden lived in a helpful new direction. And some of these posts are good for a laugh, which will definately help relax any tense muscles! And yes, a post from this blog made it in there (phew!)
Some highlights include:
- Carnival host’s list of Biggest Migraine & Depression News Stories of 2007 Migraines and clinical depression often come together in a pair, (I have both, for example). Also, many anti-depressants have shown to help reduce migraines. So combining the two topics is only natural.
- At HeadacheAdvisor.com, there is a thought provoking self-questionnaire to take for your Headache Resolutions of 2008.
- At ChronicBabe.com (apparantly named because she has chronic pain and that she’s chronically “babe-a-liscious”), 5 Steps To Start The New Year Right has some proactive and low cost suggestions for helping ease stress and thus helping you ease your chronic pains.
Next Month
The monthly Headache Blog Carnival is to come out every second Monday of each month. Submissions are due the Friday before publication date. If your blog is not strictly headache or migraine related, don’t worry. If your post fits the topic, Diane will consider it. In her words: “Entries on topics that are particularly useful, educational or inspirational for headache and migraine sufferers are also welcome and encouraged.”
Next month is a pretty scary topic: “how to have love & romance in your life when you also have headaches & migraines”. Calling Stephen King — here’s a topic right up your alley! I’m sure you need even more publicity…
