How the Migraine Association of Ireland can help you?
Posted by Eamonn Brady on
Migraine Action Week takes place form September 12th to 19th. Whelehans Pharmacy in association with Migraine Association of Ireland hosted a major Migraine Information event in Mullingar in June. As a result of this event (which had over 120 people attend), we have been asked in the pharmacy many times what were the main “learning points”. Due to Migraine Action Week I decided to revisit Migraine in the Examiner with some information on the Migraine Association of Ireland and next week I will discuss some of the points we learned back in June. I discussed Migraine I more detail in the Westmeath Examiner back in June; ask in Whelehans or check www.whelehans.ie or a detailed and free information article on migraine.
