I’ll be honest—I didn’t think much about eye floaters until I started noticing them in my early 30s. Just a few tiny shadows drifting across my vision here and there. I brushed it off at first. But after a few weeks of squinting at screens and wondering if I was just overtired, I realized something…
If you’ve ever stared at a bright sky or a white wall and noticed tiny specs, strings, or cobweb-like things drifting around in your vision—congrats, you’re now part of the “am I getting older?” club. I first spotted mine during a lazy afternoon staring out the window, and thought a bug was in the room….
After spending back-to-back hours on my laptop for work and then winding down with some mindless scrolling on my phone, I found myself nursing a familiar, throbbing ache right above my left eyebrow. At first, I dismissed it. Maybe dehydration? Skipped lunch? But it kept happening—more often than I’d like to admit. It wasn’t until…
If you’ve ever noticed strange floaters that look like circles drifting across your vision, you’re definitely not alone. It happened to me one afternoon while scrolling on my phone under bright sunlight—suddenly, this translucent, almost perfectly round shadow just floated into my field of view. I blinked.

I still remember the first time I saw them—sitting in a sunlit café, thinking something was floating in my coffee. It wasn’t….
Ever blinked really hard, hoping those pesky little squiggly things in your vision would vanish — but they didn’t? Yeah, me too. It’s a weird sensation, right? You’re mid-conversation, or staring at a bright screen, and out of nowhere, this ghosty little spot or thread floats by. Blink. Still there. Blink harder. Nope, not gone….
Last week, I found myself clutching my temples in a dimly lit room, cursing the extra-large cold brew I downed earlier that morning. Was it the caffeine that triggered the throbbing behind my eye—or was it just another bad migraine day? It got me thinking: how does caffeine really affect migraines? If you’ve ever pondered…
I’ve had my fair share of rough mornings, but nothing quite compares to those strange, foggy days after a migraine hits. The headache might have technically passed, but your brain still feels like it’s wading through molasses. For anyone going through headaches during migraine recovery, you’re not alone—and no, it’s not in your head (well,…
