Grey's Anatomy Supports Migraine Sufferers

Wednesday April 29, 2009
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) has recently launched a new patient information website, or rather, they've redesigned their previous site. It is a place where patients and their families can go to learn more about neurological conditions such as migraines and headaches, stroke and Alzheimer's. They can also learn about current research, form connections using the community feature, and find a neurologist in their area.

The AAN is also receiving support from a somewhat unconventional source. Viewers of Grey's Anatomy, the popular ABC television program, eagerly anticipate the wedding of two of its main characters, Dr. Meredith Grey and Dr. Derek Shepherd. There is even a website where you can follow the couple's preparations for the wedding, including an online wedding gift registry. In lieu of gifts, you can make a donation to the AAN or another medical charity. The wedding is in 14 days so there is still a chance to support the efforts of the AAN in educating patients and looking to improve treatment of a variety of neurological conditions, like migraine headaches.

Well headaches and migraines are very painful experiences, so any help is really welcome. When we take great popularity of the show, we have to admit, that this is step in right direction.
