I’ve always known weather could mess with my mood, but I didn’t realize it could hijack my head too—until I started tracking my migraines. For years, I blamed stress, screens, even coffee.

I’ll be honest—if you’ve ever had a migraine, you know it’s not just a “bad headache.” It’s a full-body experience that can knock you off your feet.
