Ever had one of those days where you’re staring at screens nonstop—laptop, phone, then maybe some late-night Netflix—and by the end of it, your head’s throbbing, your eyes feel like they’re pulsing, and you swear the migraine is creeping up from behind your eyes? That’s me on most Tuesdays. At first, I didn’t connect the…
Somewhere in my late thirties, I started waking up with a pounding headache more mornings than not. I chalked it up to stress, poor sleep, maybe even grinding my teeth. But when hot flashes and irregular periods joined the party, my doctor casually mentioned the word “perimenopause.” That’s when I started connecting the dots—could my…
If you’ve ever felt a migraine sneaking in right before a thunderstorm, you’re not imagining it. I used to think I was going crazy—how could the weather possibly know when to ruin my day? But after talking with a neurologist, diving into research, and tracking my own symptoms, it became pretty clear: weather changes mess…

If you’ve ever pulled an all-nighter and felt like your brain was throbbing the next day, you’re not imagining things. Sleep deprivation doesn’t just leave you groggy—it can actually trigger full-blown migraines. I’ve learned this the hard way.

Ever had a migraine hit and suddenly felt like the room was spinning—or like your feet didn’t quite know where the floor was? You’re not imagining things.
