In the fall of 2006 the NHF’s Headache Education and Support Group facilitators invited their attendees to submit headache-related poetry. Because interest in this project grew, it was opened up to all who visit the NHF’s web site, as well as those who read NHF HeadLines.

The NHF received a variety of headache-related submissions. We have selected poems, limericks and verse that are relatable to those who suffer with this disease.

We extend our sincere thanks to all who submitted their work.

Enything but fun
More than depressing
Everyone’s nightmare – Ho-
Ribble and very bad
Give me a break from it
Every so often it helps
Nothing about is it happy
Caring for sick people
Yell for 911
Rotten – H-
Onestly the worst place to be
Overly long waits to see doctors
My life’s center point
