Migraines and work? Yeah, not exactly a dream combo. I used to think I could just push through, down a couple of painkillers, and grind it out. But let’s be real—when a migraine hits mid-meeting or halfway through your spreadsheet, pretending everything’s fine is the worst strategy. After years of trial, error, and a few…
I used to think summer migraines were just a coincidence — until I started connecting the dots. You’re out on a hot day, maybe in the middle of a workout or just sitting in traffic with a weak A/C, and suddenly, the pounding starts. It’s more than just the heat. It’s your body’s way of…
It started subtly for me — a random throbbing headache here and there in my late 30s. At first, I blamed stress, sleep, or maybe that extra glass of wine. But then they got more intense, lasted longer, and always showed up uninvited around that time of the month. Only, my cycle was doing its…
There’s nothing quite like being hit with a migraine when you’re already dealing with your period. I used to think I was imagining it—those pounding headaches that came like clockwork every month.

What baffled me the most? The unpredictability. It wasn’t until I started digging deeper into nutritional strategies that I…
If you’ve ever dealt with the dull throb or the piercing ache that climbs up the back of your neck and settles at the base of your skull, you’re not alone. I still remember sitting at my desk one afternoon, barely able to turn my head because of the searing pain radiating from my neck…
Last weekend, I was all set for a relaxing Saturday — tea in hand, book by my side — until an all-too-familiar pounding started creeping in. That dreaded migraine. What made it worse? A storm was rolling in. Again. I’ve been tracking these episodes for years, and I’ve started to notice a pattern: when the…
Let’s be real—when a migraine hits, everything else fades into the background. I’ve had days where the slightest noise or flicker of light felt like an assault. If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried dozens of remedies: cold compresses, dark rooms, even meditation apps that promise a magical fix. But nothing—and I mean nothing—has been…
