Migraine and pain activism in September!...

Fall in Boston
A shout out to all migraine and pain bloggers, readers and activists: here are a few easy and meaningful activities this month!
Today, 9/8, is International Literacy Day; check it out, be aware of literacy status worldwide… and read to someone or help someone learn to read!
It’s Migraine Awareness Week in the UK, and Teri Robert reminds us why it matters! You can always help raise awareness.
September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day; Nancy Harris Bonk discusses and Diana Lee displays the National Suicide Depression Hotline. What can you do?
Invisible Illness Week this year is 9/13 – 9/19 and everyone can get on board with this one! Each One can Reach One. And you can. Lots of great ideas here, and my favorite is to leave little notes wherever you can letting people know that if they are in pain, they are not alone. How cool is that?
The whole month of September is American Pain Foundation’s Virtual March on Washington for Better Pain Management. Ellen S describes the event and provides the link for you to join the effort and add your voice!
The Migraine and Research Foundation can always put donations of any size to good use, and even if you can’t donate right now, you can access great resources on the MRF site!
These are quick and easy things to do during a busy September, so pick something you can do — and DO IT!





But that contradicts everything I read about many migraineurs having low levels of magnesium and how magnesium helps. So I have been left to wonder if this is coincidental for me and to try adding magnesium periodically to see what happens — and to suspect that perhaps I am just an anomaly in this regard!
