Last weekend, I was all set for a relaxing Saturday — tea in hand, book by my side — until an all-too-familiar pounding started creeping in. That dreaded migraine. What made it worse? A storm was rolling in. Again. I’ve been tracking these episodes for years, and I’ve started to notice a pattern: when the…
It started with a flicker of pain behind my left eye, something I brushed off as just another one of those hormonal shifts. But before I knew it, I was curled up in a dark room, the throb becoming unbearable. Welcome to the world of migraines during menopause—a realm many women don’t see coming until…
Last year, after dealing with months of unexplained fatigue and unpredictable migraines, I started wondering if something deeper was going on with my body.

That’s when I began wondering:…
Skipping meals used to be a regular habit of mine, especially when deadlines loomed or my mornings spiraled into chaos.

Ever found yourself feeling weirdly off-balance after a migraine? Like your brain is a bit scrambled, your head’s still foggy, and just standing up feels like a gamble? Yeah—been there.
