Think You Have What It Takes to Be the Headaches & Migraines Guide?

Monday February 4, 2008
We're looking for passionate and enthusiastic individual to be the Guide to the Headaches / Migraines site of About.com!

What sort of information do we want the new Guide to provide?
Well, we're looking for someone to educate people who suffer from headaches or migraines. The site should answer their questions about headaches and migraines, help them make treatment decisions with a counselor or health care provider, and educate them as to how they can take action to prevent the recurrence of headaches and migraines.

What sort of person are we looking for to be the new Guide to Headaches & Migraines?
Our ideal candidate:

  • a physician, psychiatrist or nurse who works directly with headache and migraine patients
  • a counselor or health educator with extensive experience educating and treating patients with headaches and migraines
If this sounds like you, and you've got excellent writing skills and the desire to reach and teach a broad audience through your writing, why not go over to our application site to learn more about our hiring program and submit an application?

The Gelly Belly Grizzly Bear To Cool or Heat Your Head

Monday January 8, 2007
Most of us with headaches and migraines find either cold or hot packs of some kind to be helpful. Many of us have found our favorites, often different kinds for different situations.

I recently came across one of the more unusual ones I've seen -- it's a teddy bear. The Gelly Belly Grizzly Bear has gel packs (one included with the bear) that can be heated in the microwave or chilled in the freezer, then fit into the bear through a nearly invisible opening in the back that's kept closed with Velcro. They can be used by headache and migraine sufferers for hot or cold therapy.
