seeking joy in a life with chronic migraine, chronic daily headache and chronic illness
Hi all. I haven’t felt much like blogging the last week. There’s not much news and nothing I write seems coherent. If I still don’t feel blogworthy tomorrow, I’ll post a list with summaries of the links I’ve been planning to write about. In the meantime, make sure to introduce yourselves to the new blogs mentioned in this week’s Carnival of Compassion.
I hope you’re all doing well. I’ll be back in the grove tomorrow.
Trying to Catch Up hosts the 17th edition of the Carnival of Compassion this week. The categories Barbara covers are established and newly created patient blogs, medical advances and technology, and caregiver blogs. All the patient and caregiver blogs are new to me, so I’m excited about adding more blogs to my Bloglines.
Carnival of Compassion is a weekly roundup of the "best of" recent patient blog posts. It’s a great way to connect with others with life-changing illnesses. Even if we have different diagnoses, circumstances and potential "cures," many of our struggles are similar. If you’d like to host it on your blog sometime, read the details and send Dr. Del an e-mail message.
Last week’s Carnival of Compassion, posted by carnival founder Dr. Del, is available on Gabbr. Topics of particular interest to people with headache include prayer and healing, chronic back pain (and the wider implications of chronic pain), and the impact of headache on productivity and job security.
