The Christmas tree is decorated, the Pohutukawa trees are in bloom and the kids have finished school for the year. Yup, it’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas.

With the end-of-year craziness kicking off, now is a good time to review if all the different treatment options I’ve tried this year to manage my migraine disease have worked.

After a couple of on-boarding meetings this week I’m now officially part of the Migraine World Summit copywriting team.

Join our happy little community of Kiwis in a newly formed group for people with migraine disease and headache conditions in NZ.
