Sleepwalking is one of those strange nighttime phenomena that makes you wonder what your brain is really up to while you’re out cold. I’ve had a couple of sleepwalking incidents in my twenties—one where I found myself trying to make toast without any bread—and it left me questioning what triggered it. Strangely, I also noticed…
Last year, after switching to the contraceptive injection, I started experiencing a pattern I couldn’t ignore—pounding headaches that seemed to come with no clear cause. At first, I brushed them off as work stress or dehydration, but they were different. They’d hit hard, sometimes right before my next shot was due, and other times just…
When I first started experiencing migraines, I thought they were just bad headaches. But what really threw me off was the wave of social anxiety that came with them.

At first, I chalked it up to coincidence—maybe just stress or changes in sleep. But after years of tracking symptoms, one…
If you’ve recently had laser eye surgery and suddenly find yourself dealing with persistent migraines, you’re not alone. Honestly, I didn’t expect that my vision correction journey would come with a side of throbbing temples and light sensitivity.
