Here's an article on the societal and economic burden of migraine from the Modern Medicine website. I feel hopeful when I see this kind of truthful dialog. It's the most honest I've seen in a long time.

Thought I would post this in our site, as that is where it really belongs. I'm kinda fed up with "migraine trigger lists" and the whole focus that is taken away from the real issues.

Hi wanted to drop by your site as I read your list on triggers. Wow - that is one long list.
Your list of triggers is impressive - but I want to propose the idea that the triggers are really beside the point. I have come full circle on this issue and for people who get maybe 4 migraines in a year.. maybe the trigger aspect is worth it for them to contemplate. But for the hard cases like me that are looking at 4 good days in a month, the rest of it in pain - we are talking about a disease that no longer has anything to do with triggers or weather or diet.

This article is not good news- but it could be an indication that a better understanding of the impact of this disability. Find out more about this here:

I love it every time I find an article on the intelligence of birds. They are so fascinating - and it seems we are only just beginning to recognize their intelligence.
Here is a great article on one my faves, Magpies.
