I ran across this interesting series of blog articles in the NYTimes about chronic headaches in general.

http://migraine.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/19/leaving-the- rabbit-hole/#comments

I really like the perspective of the author, even if some of the comments by readers are annoying (if you have headaches, all you have to do is ..... type of things!)

I like this author too. She really gets it. I think she is the one who wrote the book that Susangf recommended a while ago on some other thread. I still haven't remembered to send my people to the library to find me the book, but if she writes in it like she does the blog I will love it.

Most of the people leaving comments seem to have a pretty good perspective, but of course there have to be those people who can cure anything or who get an occasional headache and think it is the same thing she is talking about. We all find them in real life so I would be shocked if they didn't show up on a blog as well.
