June brings the Summer Solstice. Mild, pleasant temperatures
and the longest day of the year arrive in the Northern Hemisphere during this
lovely month. Brides are wed, and dads and grads are honored.
Why would anyone have
a headache in June?
“What is so rare as a day in June?” asked American poet
James Russell Lowell (1819-1891). “Then, if ever, come perfect days.”
Perhaps Lowell was right. June is marked by bright, sunny
days. School ends, and folks of every age skip outdoors to enjoy summer fun in
June. We plan picnics and pick teams for softball and Frisbee tournaments.
As the pollen flies, the mercury climbs, and the sun’s rays seem
to grow ever brighter this month. Thus, headache sufferers may groan in June.
This month, creeping up on the year’s halfway point, is Migraine Awareness Month. The National
Headache Foundation presents educational events and programs. Locally,
hospitals and health-related organizations offer seminars and workshops on
migraine prevention and treatment.
Migraines make any
month miserable.
Trust me. I’ve had migraines for decades. OK, individual
headaches haven’t lasted that long, but their looming possibilities and
frequent offsets might as well have.
