Still trying to track down the research on eating and depression triggers in the brain but will upload it when we do find it.

This week we discuss the link between Migraine Disease and Easter - the very bizarre and disconcerting symptoms of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome. 

This episode we've got something for everyone. We're talking about how to gently build good exercise habits, and how to make a habit stick. We also talk about the best forms of exercise for migraine sufferers, and we introduce our new 2 Minute Exercise Facebook Group.

In this episode we discuss botox as a preventative and non-medicinal treatment for chronic migraine.

Did you hear about the female celebrity who was criticised on Valentine's Day for her looks when she's actually receiving Botox for migraine? Do you know how Botox as a treatment for migraine was discovered? How about what it feels like to get Botox injections as a treatment for migraine? We discuss all that and more!

And we end with a list of celebrities past and present who suffer, or did suffer migraines and still achieved great things. We're NOT alone!

Not only that, but host Fiona stumbles through with a migraine of her own. Maybe in future months we'll upload some of the edited bloopers, but listen for the one we can't edit out. (Just a hint.... what is the name of the podcast?)

In this episode Fiona talks with her friend Kathy about Kathy's atypical migraines. Kathy discusses her first migraine experience when she thought she was having a stroke, through to hemiplegic migraine, dizziness auras and loss of speech (dysphasia). She also shares some advice to fellow migraineurs based on her years of treatment. Thank you Kathy for her honest and open sharing with our migraine community!
