'The word sympathy is perhaps better read as empathy, and I see people from all different walks of life in Scotland give time, effort and money in trying to improve the lives of others and their well-being.' Read @karynmccluskey's latest column ⬇️ https://t.co/RYrVS9XMjd

@TitanArumRBGE 3 years ago (almost to the day) when you last flowered it was a few days after the sudden death of a close friend. My partner brought me to see you as a distraction. I loved it and my friend would have too. Sorry you can’t have visitors this time round. See you soon!

Almost a quarter of women live with #migraine ♀️

This month, we want to raise awareness of the huge impact migraine can have on their lives, from influencing decisions around contraception, pregnancy and menopause to affecting mental health.

[The Migraine Trust @MigraineTrust]

A #migraine attack is much more than a headache.

Attacks have 4 or 5 stages depending on migraine type. A third of people with migraine experience the aura stage, which involves sensory disturbances like changes to vision, speech or hearing. Learn more: https://t.co/444kzJT1fP

@KatyMunro1 @NatMigraineCtr My neurologist keen to prescribe but no-one to show me how to use the injections. 3months and waiting for NHS Lothian to work it out. That’s after 2years of chronic migraine!

[LKG @gibbl24]

Great article about coping with stress not just for migraines. Getting better at identifying when I am stressed - the hair dresser usually tells me i'm on my way to being bald...

[The Migraine Trust @MigraineTrust]

Stress is unavoidable in life, but what can you do if it’s worsening your #migraine? Dr Sophie Mitchell, Clinical Psychologist at the National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, gives advice on how to reduce it.
