Education: Resources Addressing All Types of Head Pain

Knowledge is our best tool to be an effective part of our own healthcare team. We live with these imperfect bodies, and have valuable information to impart to the rest of the team. Educating ourselves about our headaches and Migraine disease makes that information more understandable and valuable. These resources will help you learn and, hopefully, leave you wanting to learn more.

Healthy Monday Launched
We often discuss good overall health in the context of making our bodies more resistant to headaches and Migraines. We also look at the relationship between headaches and Migraines and other conditions such as stroke, heart attack, depression, and others. Prevention is essential, be it headache and Migraine prevention, stroke prevention, or trying to avoid the flu. An interesting new campaign was launched today -- "Healthy Monday."
What Is Pseudotumor Cerebri, aka Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension?
Simply speaking, Pseudotumor Cerebri is a condition in which the body either produces too much cerebrospinal fluid pressure or doesn't absorb it well, resulting in increased cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Pseudotumor cerebri literally means "false brain tumor" because it's symptoms mimic those of brain tumors.
