If you’ve ever had a pounding migraine that seems to start at the base of your skull or after a long day at your desk, you’re not imagining things. I used to chalk mine up to stress—until I started noticing a pattern: it was always after I’d spent hours hunched over my laptop or slept…
So, here’s something weird that happened to me a few weeks ago. I caught a pretty intense flu, and just when I thought I was over it, I started noticing these little floaty things in my vision. You know, like transparent squiggles or cobwebs dancing around when I looked at a bright wall or the…
If you’ve ever felt like someone shoved an ice pick behind your eye—suddenly, fiercely, and at the worst possible time—you might’ve brushed it off as just a weird migraine. But there’s a different beast lurking in the shadows of misunderstood headaches: the cluster headache. I remember sitting in a meeting once, the fluorescent lights buzzing…
If you’ve ever dealt with bacterial vaginosis (BV), you already know how stubborn and uncomfortable it can be. I’ve been there—confused, frustrated, constantly Googling solutions that don’t make you feel like you’re performing witchcraft in your bathroom.

It started as a small itch — something I brushed off as nothing. But over the next few days, the discomfort grew, and I realized my skin down there felt unusually dry. If you’ve been there too, you’re not alone. One of the lesser-known symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) is dry vaginal skin. While it’s…
There’s this moment—right around mid-afternoon—when I feel that familiar pressure crawling behind my eyes. At first, I used to brush it off as just another screen-induced headache. But then came the nausea, the light sensitivity, and the tingling on one side of my face. That’s when I realized what I was dealing with wasn’t just…
Not long ago, I noticed something strange during my morning routine. As I looked from my toothbrush to the mirror, a little thread-like floater darted across my vision. It wasn’t the first time. But this time, it was different—it showed up almost every time I shifted my gaze, especially if I moved my eyes from…
Ever had one of those days where you’re staring at screens nonstop—laptop, phone, then maybe some late-night Netflix—and by the end of it, your head’s throbbing, your eyes feel like they’re pulsing, and you swear the migraine is creeping up from behind your eyes? That’s me on most Tuesdays. At first, I didn’t connect the…
