I don’t usually get headaches but it’s amazing to learn about the different issues that people face on a day to day basis when others never have to worry about them. I do not drink coffee but instead I take Vivarin Pills to keep me up and alert when I’m working hard. When I’ve raelly pushed myself hard, lost about 24+ hours of sleep - I sometimes get a headache after taking a “Short” nap.
Over Forty-Five (45) million people surrfer from headaches. This week June 4-10 is National Headache Awareness week. This year’s theme is “Headache Relief: 12 Tips for a Headache Free Year“. The title is definitely interesting and the NHF (National Headache Foundation) has segmented the tips into Work, Home, and Play. Below you’ll find helpful information if you’re interested in some quick knowledge about headaches and scheduled activities. This information is available from Headache.org - but not easily accessible.

There are several different types of headaches : Tension-type, Migraine, Cluster, Hormone, Rebound Headache, Sinus, and Organic. Knowing the different types of headaches is a good step towards awareness. Most everyone is aware of the Migraine Headache. One interesting fact I read is that Migraines are not just headaches, but a symptom of what is referred to as an episodic neurological disorder. This can include seizures, periodic paralyses, and headaches.
