Migraine Blog from the New York Times

Migraine headaches are a big concern for many people: they can strike like a bolt out of the blue and cause crippling pain. Worse yet, people who don't have migraines may dismiss them as just everyday headaches and wonder why they are such a "big deal" for sufferers.

The New York Times has now started a blog devoted to migraine headaches, called Migraine: Perspectives on a Headache. Contributors examine migraines from both professional and personal perspectives, seeking to give sufferers medical advice and insights as well as the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others who have migraines.

New Health Blog at NY Times Has a Familiar Face

I was pleased to see that the New York Times was starting a new health blog called Well. When I clicked on the link to the blog, I had a pleasant surprise: the editor of the blog is none other than Tara Parker-Pope, a health writer whose for the Wall Street Journal I've been reading for several years.

Parker-Pope wrote about all kinds of topics in health and wellness for the Journal in an engaging and easy-to-understand style, and I'm sure that's why the Times has hired her. I look forward to reading Well and continuing to keep up with Tara Parker-Pope's writings.
