Dr. McGeeney points out the low quality evidence about headache triggers. Based on personal experience, he thinks chocolate is a common trigger, however. What do you think? #HCNEStowe22

Deadline is 9/16 for submission of public comments to @CMSGov to cover oxygen therapy for cluster #headache. Tell them why they MUST change their irrational policy. @AHDAorg has submitted these comments: bit.ly/2ZvVoan #O2forCluster

So Much More Than a Headache is an alternative to medical writing and self-help books, a resource for those who have under­estimated the depth of writing on this subject and challenges the cultural bias that dismisses migraine as “just a headache.” Now available on Amazon.

For people living with disabling #headache disorders, the needle that needs to be moved most urgently is toward equity... My views on #migraine stigma and advocacy imperatives (open-access): bit.ly/3iX08gB For instance, the relentless @NIH under-funding is fixable.

“The reviewers liked my paper, so why was it rejected?” Current @GreenJournal AE and former @bmj_latest research editor @RebeccaCBurch explains it all in this excellent tweetorial. #peerreview #MedTwitter

This year’s @bmj_latest theme issue on racism in medicine is now free to read. Read these articles to understand how racism affects the working lives of doctors and the healthcare experiences of ethnic minority patients @RaoMala @Voa1234 ow.ly/Oyhf50A2zuh

Okay, gotta brag a bit. Several of our faculty and fellows were authors of this article. We thank @ahsheadache members for selecting it for the Members Choice award and @HeadacheJournal for publishing it.

This should be an interesting discussion of the effect of #COVID on other health conditions.

Like many medical practices, the Graham Headache Ctr will be closed this week and next. Providers are handling messages, refilling prescriptions and conducting virtual and telephone visits from home. We will resume in-office visits as soon as it is safe to do so. Please stay safe

At this afternoon's women's health session, @KTHamiltonMD points out the discrepancy between 1) mounting evidence for safe use of triptans during pregnancy and 2) provider discomfort in using it. Is this an evidence dissemination problem? #migraine in #women #AHSAZ
