It was right after a routine touch-up with my favorite ash brown shade that I felt it—the familiar pounding behind my right eye. I shrugged it off at first, thinking maybe it was the salon lights or skipping lunch. But by evening, I was curled up in bed, lights off, ice pack on my forehead,…
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…
Back when I was coaching youth track, I noticed something odd with one of our star sprinters.
