Last Call For October Headache Blog Carnival
It’s that time again, where we all scramble through our blog archives to see if we have anything to submit for the monthly migraine and headache blog carnival. You have until midnight Friday, October 10 (EST) to get a submission link in to Diana Lee over at Somebody Heal Me, or to use the blog carnival submission form. As always, you don’t get any money for it, but you do get great publicity for your blog and a score of good information from the great wide blogosphere.
It’s suprising how many places links for the September blog carnival you can find now. Remember — the more places that link to the blog carnival, the more links to your site and the more more traffic you get.
The blog carnival will be posted Monday, October 13 at Somebody Heal Me. Your blog does not have to be a headche oriented blog like this ‘un, just the post should be of general interest to those suffering from migraines or chronic headaches.
This Month’s Topic
October’s topic is “The Relationship Between Migraine Disease and Depression”. They seem to go together like bread and beadcrust, don’t they? Not all people with migraines or chronic headaches develop or already have clinical depression or another type of depression, but a lot do. Migraines and depression also can be often found in those suffering from epilepsy. So far, the prevailing theory is that serotonin is the culprit for migraines, depression and epilepsy.
My Other Blog
Oddly enough, I think the above paragraph is the most I’ve ever written on the relationship between migraines and depression, despite the fact that my other 451 Press blog is called Depression Talk. For some reason, the topic seems to baffle me. Perhaps it’s too personal a subject for me to tackle, since I suffer from migraines and major depression. It’s always easier to give advice to others than it is to give advice to yourself. At least, that’s my honest advice.
So, I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone else talk about the strong but unexplained link between migraines and depression. It doesn’t mean I will necessarily follow anyone’s advice, but I’m still looking forward to reading it, all the same.
