OK, I'm biased. Virtually everything I know about Migraine disease I learned from Teri Robert. Reading her articles taught me that Migraines are a disease; that I have not only the right, but the responsibility to ask my doctors questions AND get some answers, that I do not have to live with nearly daily Migraines. She's the reason I capitalize the word Migraine. So, I'm biased. Teri is my hero. I want to grow up to be Teri Robert. (Well, not literally. She's only a few years older than I am, but you get the point.)
I first discovered Teri's writings and Herculean patient advocacy efforts on About.com. Last weekend, I was dismayed to find her picture gone from her site there and "Apply Now" where her name had been. Whatever About.com did to make her decide to leave or didn't do to entice her to stay, it's their loss. I, for one, won't be returning to their site or their forum since I won't find her there.
Fortunately for all of us, a quick email to Teri revealed that she is well and that after she resigned from About.com, she went to MyMigraineConnection, which is part of the HealthCentral Network. She told me she'll be doing mainly the same things there that she did at About.com -- "writing articles and other content, blogging, and hanging out on the forum." Yesterday, "Teri Robert's Blog" had a new entry - "New Year's Resolutions for Migraine Doctors."
So, if anyone is looking for Teri, now you know where to look! :-)
Shalom,
Abi

Thanks for writing about Teri's move!
My name is Dan and I'm the Web Producer at MyMigraineConnection. You are right on target about Teri--she's a superstar, and we couldn't be more excited that she's writing for us! She and I have planned many, many exciting things for the coming months.
Love your blog (I included a link to it on our "Top Blogs" section), and thanks again!
Hi, RE: wikipedia and edits, my wife when trying to add to the aphasia (something she knows well) entry ran into THB. Very snooty person. Jose Rodriguez jmr at ieee.org
