The Mental Switch – No Pun Intended
It’s like a switch goes off in my head. One minute I’m fine the next I’m anxious or dreadfully depressed. Sometimes I can actually feel the change in my brain. Does this happen to you? – Skylar
Don’t Isolate Yourself
I’m biracial – black and white so I’m grey lol. I mention that to say that in addition to following migraine blogs, tweets, Facebook pages etc. I also follow the aforementioned as it relates to curly/kinky hair. While scrolling through my Instagram feed this morning, I came across a post by Camille Rose Naturals. It’s a pic of…
Nostalgia and Heartache
I started watching the series Felicity, starring Keri Russell, last night. Have you seen it? It came out when I was 17/18. As I watch I feel like a teenager again lol. Is that normal? When I emerge from the nostalgia however, I feel sad. Sad because of who I am – a 35 year old…
Migraine and Motion Sickness
Did you know that migraineurs are more prone to motion sickness than those who don’t suffer from migraines (Migraine and Motion Sickness – migrainetrust.org)? I also read once, don’t remember where, many migraineurs suffered from motion sickness when they were kids (PLEASE correct me if that’s wrong). I’ve had motion sickness since I was a child. My best…
Failed But Not A Failure
I’ve failed to stick to my migraine trigger free diet AGAIN!!! Huhhh…I’m really disappointed in myself! How it Happened: I went to a wedding rehearsal dinner, July 16, but didn’t organize myself well enough to prepare food to take with me, so I ate the deliciousness they served; and guess what?! I woke up the next…

First Week On My Migraine Trigger Free Diet
It’s been a week since I started my Migraine Trigger free diet and it’s been going well yay! No I haven’t seen a change in my migraines YET, but I’m still exercising self-control. I’m finding I can still be a foodie despite my restrictions. I was, however, put to the test last night. Some friends…
Nursing A Whammy of a Migraine
Good morning, good afternoon and good night. You know which applies to you 🙂 . I did a little too much yesterday: washed dishes, cooked and baked. Now I’m nursing a #9 moving toward 10 migraine. I’ve taken my meds and hope to be in dreamland very soon. I’ll write a post when I can.…
Isolation – MHAM Blog Challenge Day 22
June 22nd prompt: “The Power of Friendship” From the image below, please tell us how the power of friendship helps you maintain hope. I’ve been having a hard time writing this. I guess it’s because I kinda feel very isolated. My best friend lives far away. We chat on Skype when she’s available and I’m not in…
Conveyor Belt Migraineur – MHAM Blog Challenge Day 18
June 18th prompt: Hope from Our Doctors: Share what your doctor has said to you that gives you hope. Unfortunately I cannot say I’ve come across any doctor YET that has given me any hope. In fact, it’s been just the opposite. I’ve always felt as if I were just another migraine patient on a…
