Skipping meals used to be a regular habit of mine, especially when deadlines loomed or my mornings spiraled into chaos. I’d feel fine one moment, then out of nowhere—bam—a throbbing, one-sided headache would hijack the rest of my day. Sound familiar? If you’ve ever had a migraine sneak up after missing breakfast or lunch, you’re…
So there I was, mid-meeting, trying to focus on a presentation slide, when out of nowhere, those sneaky floaters drifted across my vision again.

It started in my early twenties—sharp, pounding headaches that seemed to sync perfectly with the tiny pink pill I took every morning.

But then, just as the twitching eased up, I noticed something odd floating in my vision, like translucent cobwebs that…
If you’ve ever sat in a dark room—movie night, maybe, or just winding down—and suddenly spotted a strange, bright white speck dancing across your field of vision, you’re not imagining things.

If you’ve ever found yourself clutching your head in a dimly lit room, praying for silence and relief, you’re not alone. Migraines have been part of my life for over a decade—and let me tell you, navigating what to eat (and what not to) is like walking a dietary tightrope. Some days it feels like…
