Stress related migraines??

Does anyone experience migraines related to stress? I'm currently recovering from a migraine but it's lasted a week and im still not 100% and I'm not sure whether i need to be worried about it. Is this a sign my stress is getting too much to handle?

Yes, I do. Among the many problems with migraines and headaches is that there are quite allot of things which can cause them, from seasonal allergies to stress to mental health.

I don't believe I'll ever know which is cause and which is effect, but at the very least, stress/anxiety complicate just about everything. so I go ahead and work my anxiety management tools, regardless.

Steadying support while you find what ^it^ is for you, Charlotte. Migraines suck, whatever the source.

Doing the finger and hand massage across the back of the neck and the scalp helps me to reduce the tension level which helps to reduce the stress.

Here's to finding what works for you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
