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. My kids screaming - Drives me nuts when I don't have a migraine, but puts me totally over the edge when I do. 2. The screech of our patio door - See explanation for number 1. They are basically the same. 3. Ha… Continue

Looking for migraine relief or seeking narcotics?

Botox doesn't help migraines?

Botox is not a treatment method that I've tried for my migraines so I can't say much about it from a personal experience.

But I know people that have tried Botox for migraines and they swear by it. Well, today I read this:

The new guidelines approve its [Botox]use for trea…

Could there be more going on than just migraines?

This article by Reuters Health suggests that people with migraines may suffer from other phsychiatric disorders such as depression, bi-poler, social phobia and more. When I first read the title I took offense to it. NO I DON'T and HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST THAT. But as I read further down, it does make a certain amount of sense.

Three of our grandchildren have Migraines too, so that makes patient education and advocacy even more important to me. :-)
