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…
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. I’d cancel plans last minute, avoid bright rooms, or feel on edge during group conversations. At the time, I didn’t connect the dots—migraines and social anxiety…
There was a time when I’d wake up with a pounding head, wondering if I had slept wrong or if it was the changing weather. But after too many mornings like that—and a stressful few months juggling bills, credit card payments, and that creeping anxiety of “what if I can’t make rent?”—I started to notice…
Alright, so here’s the thing — I never used to think twice about how much I sweat. I’d power through hot yoga, summer hikes, or just a packed subway ride without a second thought.

I’ve dealt with both—waking up with a pounding head and stiff joints that refuse to cooperate. It’s exhausting. But over the years, I’ve learned how interconnected these conditions really are….
Let me tell you something that most people don’t talk about nearly enough: when you’re dealing with endometriosis, the pain doesn’t always stay in your pelvis. For me, migraines were one of the most unexpected—and honestly, one of the most exhausting—symptoms I had to learn to navigate. And it wasn’t just regular headaches. These were…
If you’ve ever had migraines and also live with PCOS, you’re probably wondering: “Is it just me, or are these two somehow related?” You’re not alone. I asked myself that very same question after dealing with relentless, throbbing headaches that didn’t feel like regular stress headaches. They seemed to come out of nowhere—sometimes after ovulation,…
When I first got a hormonal IUD, I was mostly focused on the benefits—lighter periods, long-term birth control, and not having to remember a pill every day.
