Whitney Cummings and Migraine
Whitney Cummings and migraine are not things I connected together until March. I’ve laughed at Whitney’s stand-ups and roasts. I’ve watched shows she has produced, written, directed, and acted in. But after this Emmy-nominated comedian spoke at the 5th Migraine World Summit, I now see her as another migraine teammate. It’s a weird thing when…

Social Distancing: What’s That?
Social distancing is so important in the fight against COVID-19. Anxiety grows with each day and how every person reacts to it. Knowing this virus is coming, is here, and lurking inside so many people spreading so many germs is like a movie. My family has been basically quarantining ourselves for several days. My husband…
