Dear Subscriber,
If you've got kids, you've probably whiled away some sunny afternoons at
the playground. Although the swings, slides and rides are meant to bring only
joy to your children, unsafe playgrounds can be a hazard. Watch our slide show
for a step-by-step guide to the safety features to check for at your child's
playground.
Do you know the difference between tension-type, cluster and migraine
headaches? Our headache articles give you the information you're seeking, from
signs and symptoms to treatment and coping. Also this week, Mayo Clinic
specialists tackle your questions about stuttering, warfarin, liver tests, and
much more.
Thanks for subscribing.
Sincerely,
The staff at MayoClinic.com

Tension-type headache
Tension-type headaches are the most common form of headache. A
number of treatments are available to help you deal with the pain.
Cluster headache
Cluster headaches usually occur repeatedly on one side of your head
and cause intense pain that feels like a stabbing sensation in your eye.
Migraine
Migraines aren't ordinary headaches. In addition to severe head
pain, they can cause nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to light and
sound.
For more information about these topics, visit the Brain & Nervous
