If you’re anything like me, coffee used to be a non-negotiable part of your morning ritual. The aroma, the warmth, the comforting first sip — pure bliss. But if you struggle with migraines, that daily cup might be triggering more than just a caffeine buzz. I had to painfully accept this after tracking my own…
Ever pulled a string of all-nighters and noticed weird little shadows drifting across your vision the next morning? Yeah, same here. I used to think it was just eye strain from too much screen time, but after digging into it (and chatting with my ophthalmologist), turns out those tiny specks — called floaters — might…
So, here’s something that genuinely threw me off—right after getting my eyes dilated for a routine checkup, I noticed a storm of floaters. You know, those pesky shadowy specks that dart around your vision? I figured it would fade after the drops wore off. Spoiler: they didn’t. If you’re like me and noticed floaters worse…
Skipping breakfast used to be my thing—more time in the morning, fewer calories, and supposedly better focus. But every time I tried intermittent fasting, boom—head pounding by mid-afternoon. I brushed it off for a while, thinking it was dehydration or caffeine withdrawal. It wasn’t until I started talking with my neurologist that I discovered the…

Stretching helped, but it wasn’t until I started using a foam roller regularly…
I’ve dealt with migraines on and off for over a decade, and if you’re reading this, chances are you know just how brutal they can be. When over-the-counter meds just don’t cut it and you’ve already done the caffeine cuts, the sleep hygiene tweaks, and even tried pressing that magic acupressure point behind your ear,…
Ever wake up with your head pounding like you just partied all night, except you didn’t? I’ve been there. Opening your eyes in the morning and realizing a migraine beat your alarm to the punch is not exactly a motivational start. Morning migraines are a thing—an annoying, painful, very real thing. And if you’re anything…
So here’s the thing—I recently updated my eyeglass prescription. Nothing dramatic, just the usual tweak because things were starting to blur a little more than I liked while driving at night.
