phases of migraine terminology migraine history page t msteri talk contribs m aura phase this was not a typo headache phase is appropriate and from the source cited please do not change this again from user talk milomedes when i typed headache phase that's exactly what i meant it was not a typo headache phase is as correct as pain phase and headache phase is the terminology used in the source that i very carefully cited why did you feel it necessary to make this change it makes no sense to me to take up people's time in this fashion thank you this is a community issue so i'm moving it to the talk page milo first i didn't think it was a typo both headache phase and pain phase terms are or were in use though i don't know which is used more commonly i do know that pain phase is a better term for three reasons abdominal migraine isn't in the head the headache word is recursively overused ache underdescribes the sensation and pain is shorter you can argue with but is technically a debate stopper second with all due respect to your professional writing expertise just because you carefully copied the words that were used in your source doesn't mean that i can't substitute different words that i have reason to think are better i quote from concluding text at the bottom of every edit page please note if you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed by others do not submit it third wikipedia isn't about you or me i didn't know you wrote it and it shouldn't matter that you did this is an interactive community process if you think i'm taking up your time then you probably don't have enough time to write here furthermore if you assume that anything you write here is still going to be here say years from now then you probably don't understand the nature of wikipedia as to disagreements about which terminology to use in the article that is usually handled with a talk page poll i respectfully suggest that we use that tool as needed
