Volume IV: Issue 10    -   Edited by Teri Robert   -   June 21, 2010

     
Greetings!

Welcome to our Putting Our Heads Together Newsletter, a weekly newsletter full of information about Migraines, headaches, and related issues. I'll be telling you about new research, information on both HelpForHeadaches.com and MyMigraineConnection.com, what Dr. Krusz has been up to, and more.

This week's newsletter brings you both new information and a review of some basics. There's an important new study about Depakote and birth defects. Continuing our review of basic information, this week we take a look at basilar-type Migraine, a less common form of Migraine.

We won't have a newsletter next week. I'll be in Los Angeles at the American Headache Society's annual scientific meeting, learning more to share with all of you. Newsletters will resume on Monday, July 5.

Here's wishing you a happy and pain-free Fourth of July!

Live well,
