There’s something oddly specific about the way migraines announce their arrival. You’re sitting there, maybe reading, watching TV, or just zoning out—and then it hits you.

It started one morning with a weird sensation — not pain, not burning — just this subtle itch in the corner of my left eye. No redness, no gunk, just… discomfort. And to top it off, I noticed this tiny speck drifting across my vision every time I looked at a blank wall. At first,…
If you’ve ever found yourself frozen in a grocery store aisle, overthinking whether to grab almond or soy milk—and walked out with neither—you’re not alone.
