I used to think cruise vacations were the ultimate escape—until I got hit with a blinding migraine in the middle of the Caribbean. Imagine standing on a deck, ocean breeze in your hair, and then—bam!—everything starts spinning, lights feel like lasers, and the throbbing in your skull makes even soft music feel like a rock…
Ever landed in a new time zone and suddenly felt that familiar, awful throb behind your eyes? You’re not alone. As someone who travels for work a bit more than I’d like to admit, I’ve noticed a pattern—whenever I cross multiple time zones, especially flying east, a migraine isn’t far behind. At first, I chalked…
Flying while nursing a throbbing head and queasy stomach? I’ve been there—33,000 feet in the air, lights dimmed, ear pressure climbing, and my temples pulsing like a bass drum. Traveling with a migraine isn’t just uncomfortable; it can feel downright brutal. The hum of the engines, dry cabin air, and even the smell of reheated…

And I’m not alone. If you’ve ever felt a pulsating headache creep in under streetlights or noticed your vision going a bit fuzzy…
If you’ve ever found yourself squinting under a ring light during Zoom calls, makeup tutorials, or content shoots, and then later battling a throbbing headache, you’re not alone. I’ve personally experienced the discomfort—what started as a subtle ache behind the eyes morphed into a full-on migraine by evening. At first, I thought it was just…
