Migraine Blog.

I have become a frequent reader of the New York Times blogs, and within the Well blog, I found the migraine blog which peaked my interest. There are entries from sufferers Jeff Tweedy of Wilco & Oliver Sacks, the neurologist and author, among other famous writers & doctors. There is also an amazing slideshow featuring "migraine art"

Here is a sample of Jeff Tweedy's entry:

Boy Meets Pain

I honestly do not remember a time in my life when I did not have headaches, and know what they were and know they were called migraines. My mother was a migraine sufferer, and my sister is as well. Now, if I was having legitimate migraines or I just called every headache a migraine because my mother had them, I don’t know for sure, but, like I said, I don’t remember a time in my life when I wasn’t having them.
As a kid, I did miss a lot of school because I would periodically dehydrate myself — I would vomit a lot with each migraine and it would be really hard to stop. It would often continue that way for hours and hours — 12 hours sometimes. And I went to see a lot of doctors. I remember long periods sitting around in doctors’ offices waiting to get shots. At one point they determined my migraines were the result of allergies, so I got numerous allergy tests and it turned out I was allergic to everything. I don’t think they ever tested me for an allergy that didn’t come up positive. As a result I got allergy shots twice a week after school for years. I got really good at getting shots as a young kid when a lot of other kids were deathly afraid of them. But it never helped the migraines.
