Welcome to the January 2009 Headache and Migraine Disease Blog Carnival, our first anniversary edition.
The Headache & Migraine Disease Blog Carnival has been created to provide both headache patients and people who blog about headaches with unique opportunities to share ideas on topics of particular interest and importance to us.
For the January 2009 carnival I solicited submissions on the topic of "What Keeps You Going When You're Suffering". I also welcomed entries of general interest to headache and migraine sufferers.
Please continue reading for this month's collection of posts.
Ellen Schnakenberg presents Migraine Pain - This is What Keeps Me Going posted at WEGO Health, saying, "I have to choose every day how I deal with my pain. It would be easy to stop trying. My post is about Universal reasons explained in a deeply personal message written secretly as I made my decision to fight the good fight."
Rosalind Joffe presents What Gets You Through the Times of Pain/Fatigue or Just Plain Can't Do? posted at Working with Chronic Illness.
Kelly presents Fly With Hope posted at Fly With Hope.
Rena Sherwood presents Revenge As a Way to Keep Going posted at Dealing with Headaches.
Jasmine P Walton presents The Pursuit of Painlessness posted at Jasmine's Cove.
James Cottrill presents What Everyone Should Know about Telcagepant - The Coming Migraine Drug posted at Headache and Migraine News Blog.
Suzanne presents Sleeping Off My Headache? posted at Without Dash.
GrrlScientist presents Why Do We Yawn? posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, "Even though yawning is a very common behavior among all vertebrates, the physiological and evolutionary reasons for yawning behavior are poorly understood. Excessive yawning has medical implications (associated with migraines) and also is associated with certain psychiatric medications."
Submit your blog article to the February 2009 edition of the Headache and Migraine Disease Blog Carnival using our carnival submission form or by e-mailing your submissions to me directly.
The theme of the February 2009 carnival will be Sex & Migraines - having a sex life despite migraines, migraines caused by sex, when sex can help with migraines - anything goes!

Have you ever heard of the NTI? For some, clenching and grinding of the jaw serves as a catalyst for migraine inducing strain on the muscles in the head and face. One way for patients to treat their TMJ pain is a small thermoplastic device that prevents the the posterior teeth from touching. The device is called the NTI-tss Plus. In clinical trials reviewed by the FDA, 82% of medically diagnosed migraine sufferers using the NTI-tss had a 77% average reduction of migraine pain attacks within the first eight weeks of use.
With everything you've tried, this is worth a shot!

Hi "Matt," I tried the NTI-tss device years ago - when I was desperate enough to believe a $500 piece of plastic could help with a Neurological disease - and had zero success.
Maybe someone with a genuine blogger account can share their success story using this device because I'd love to hear one.
I've been reading your blog for several months now and just wanted to say thanks for all the time you put in posting all this great info. I'm looking forward to reading more in '09.

Matt,
I aslo tried the NTI with zero success. The theory of the trigeminal nerve being impacted, I believe,is correct in Migraines, however very few issues with this nerve is because of nightly teeth clinching. A few headache folks have found relief form the dental side, but no true Migrainers.
Matt,
I also tried the NTI with zero success, only mine cost $750.00! I'm looking for some magic device that will keep my neck, shoulders, thoracic back and forehead from spasming. That's the main disease trigger for me.
