October Headache Blog Carnival: Depression and Migraines

by Rena Sherwood

The usual unusualStep right up. Step right up. We have the specualar and freakish show on earth, originating in your head. Well, if your head happens to contain both depression and migraines. I’ll broaden the definition to those with depression and other types of chronic headaches, too, so you don’t feel left out. Both of these side shows are being spotlighted under the big top in this month’s Headache and Migraine Disease Blog Carnival, hosted at Diana Lee’s Somebody Heal Me.

Let’s Get Right To The Action

This month has been one of the best blog carnivals so far for anyone having to deal with chronic pain, let alone migraines. It’s definately appropriate to talk about depression and chronic pain in the month when the Presidential campaign goes to warp factor ten. Even those people who never have had a headache or a sad thought in their life are probably popping Excedrin like Tic Tacs and could beat out Smashing Pumpkins on the misery scale.

I do encourage you to at least skim all of the fine submissions this month, to at least let you know that you’re not alone in dealing with depression and chronic pain. The following list is what I consider the highlights based on my own narrow-mindedness and predudices.

Thanks as always to Diana Lee. Check out Somebody Heal Me for details on November’s blog carnival.

    :P Thank you Rena for the “Most Respectable Title award”. I actually have done almost as much research on all the “comorbid” neurological disorders as on migraine itself. We all have got one of those, got to deal with them somehow…

    Cheers,
