Hi Mary, re. the third link I also read telegraph.co.uk/wellbeing/h...

in which I was surprised to see a letter from someone whose migraine aura/head pressure was 'cured' by taking Warfarin and/or Betablockers following a suspected TIA. The response from the doctor is that yes, Warfarin can 'cure' migraine. There was no further explanation, and I've never heard this before - apart from people in this forum with APS who have found their migraine has improved when taking Warfarin (which is why I've posted here).

Yes not rocket science to work out what that patient had? Perhaps there is a reply facility, I often myself reply to people under newspaper articles with information regarding the disease and the charity etc. MaryF

I've sent an email asking for clarification and mentioning HS. Didn't link to the website - if he replies and hasn't heard of it I will, but presumably he does know about the connection although he didn't refer to it directly.
