Ever taken a triptan for a brutal migraine and ended up with another one just a day or two later? Yep, been there. It’s like treating the pain only to be gifted with another round of agony. That’s what rebound migraines—also called medication overuse headaches—do, especially when triptans are involved. Let’s talk about what’s going…
I used to think my migraines were just random—maybe triggered by stress, maybe hormones, or lack of sleep. But then a pattern started emerging. I realized I was reaching for over-the-counter meds like candy, thinking I was being proactive. Turns out, I was digging myself into a deeper migraine hole. Welcome to the world of…
It hit me out of nowhere—a sudden dimming in one eye, like someone had pulled the blinds halfway down. No pain at first, just a weird, eerie blackout that lasted for about ten minutes. I was mid-sentence in a Zoom meeting, and everything else around me was fine, just that one eye decided to take…

At first, I thought it was my imagination or maybe even some kind of spiritual vision. Turns out, it was just good ol’ eye floaters…
You ever stare at your screen for hours—work, doom-scrolling, streaming—then suddenly catch something floating in your vision?
