I'm not sure why I find this amusing. As someone who suffers from migraines this article by Newsweek makes perfect sense. The article states that certain hair do's, earrings, perfumes and hairspray can all trigger or contribute to migraine pain. The perfume and hairspray make perfect sense. Smells are definitely a trigger for some people and even though it hasn't been a trigger for me most of the time, I can think of two examples where someone's "p… Continue

What sound makes you want to run and hide?

I saw this question posted over at The Daily Headache by Kerrie: For you migrainuers, what sound makes your ears cringe and your head scream? I actually have a few that come to mind right away. 1.

Thank you.

At 11:11am on May 20th, 2008, Megan Oltman said…: Thanks for the great comment, Janeen. I use both medication and life-style approaches to managing my migraines. I lean very heavily on meditation and relaxation to calm my nervous system down - but I am happy to have my meds for when I need them! I talk a lot more about it in the ecourse - would love to have you join in.

At 11:22pm on April 23rd, 2008, Teri Robert said…: Janeen, Thank you, and you're welcome! I love my work. After coming so far with my own Migraines and headaches, it's a dream job to help others. Three of our grandchildren have Migraines too, so that makes patient education and advocacy even more important to me. :-)
