What Are These Crazy Migraines?

One of the first pages I wrote is the squidoo lens "What Is A Migraine Aura?" It is just a basic overview of this subset of migraines. This is a subject near to my heart, as I have had this experience on and off for the last fifteen years. Fascinating stuff, though.

Aura Migraine and YouTube

Aura migraine is a serious condition, but we can't be serious all the time. I created a squidoo lens that takes a light-hearted look at the visual aspect of auras. What Does Your Aura Migraine Look Like? I get flashes of light up in the top of my field of vision. I used to see shiny-ness around everyone, but it seems to have changed.

Migraine Aura Mimics Stroke

People who get Migraine Aura are much more likely to have a stroke. There is new evidence that migraines may in fact cause strokes. What we do know is that migraineurs get strokes in far greater numbers than the average person. I wrote an article on this subject that is published at ezinearticles. It discusses how migraines mimic stroke. I also have a squidoo lens on the same subject titled Migraine With Aura Mimics Stroke. Catchy, huh?

Migraine With Aura And The Holidays

With the holidays fully upon us, it is helpful to keep migraine prevention squarely in our minds. We should get enough rest, stay away from toxic people (as much as possible), and avoid our triggers. I have an article up at ezinearticles that discusses strategies for enjoying the holidays while avoiding holiday triggers.

Migraines With Aura and Birth Control

I wrote an article for ezinearticles about migraines with aura and birth control pills. I think this is an important topic because migraineurs are two or three times likelier to have a stroke than the average person. This goes up dramatically when hormonal medecines come into play. So, hop on over and check it out.

Migraine Journal

Keeping a migraine journal can be a very helpful exercise. You can use it to track the intensity of your headaches. Are they getting better or worse, more frequent or less. But, the best use of the journal is to determine triggers. This can sometimes be a difficult task. Not only do triggers sometimes simmer overnight before the migraine appears, but sometimes they work in tandem. If you have migraines with aura, the journal can help you pinpoint subtle auras that can give you time to intervene and possibly stop an oncoming migraine in its tracks.

Migraines Here We Come

This is a blog where I can keep up with all my migraine related stuff. First of all, I have a website: Migraines With Aura that is my home base. This is my home base. I am detailing on the front page the seriousness of this illness and I have a blog there as well. I also sell the Migraine Relief product. It is a great system because it primarily deals with 100% natural prevention.
