I didn’t expect my first pilgrimage journey to test my pain threshold more than my spiritual endurance. Somewhere between the third consecutive early morning and the relentless sun during the afternoon prayers, a familiar throb began creeping into my right temple. If you’ve ever dealt with a migraine during a spiritual trip, you know it’s…
It took me years to realize that one of the biggest triggers for my migraines wasn’t some exotic allergy or rare neurological issue—it was my chaotic schedule. I’d stay up late one night, wake up early the next, skip meals, overwork myself, and then wonder why my head felt like a balloon ready to burst….
If you’re someone who deals with migraines, there’s a fair chance you’ve crossed paths with ergotamine at some point. I’ve been there myself—those early days of experimenting with migraine treatments, trying to find that sweet spot between relief and rebound. It’s easy to reach for anything that works. But here’s the thing: what works fast…
When you’ve lived with migraines for as long as I have, you start developing odd little rituals. I’m talking about the “migraine prep bag,” blackout curtains, and that one herbal tea that somehow makes everything feel a bit more bearable.

Last year, I found myself in a constant loop of canceled plans, dark rooms, and frustration—all thanks to chronic migraines. It wasn’t just the pain. It was the unpredictability, the isolation, and the feeling that no one really “got it.” Then I stumbled upon something unexpected—virtual coaching. I was skeptical at first. Can someone on…
So, I’ve been battling migraines for years, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried just about every remedy under the sun. From prescription meds to caffeine, yoga, herbal tea, blackout curtains, you name it. But recently, something as simple—and brutal—as an ice bath started popping up in my search history.

It’s one thing to deal with the pounding pain of a migraine—but it’s another beast entirely when that pain is followed by days (sometimes weeks!) of relentless exhaustion.
