THE FLASHING AURA, HANDS ARE SHAKING, WORDS THAT DON'T COME OUT IN THE ORDER YOU WANTED...
IT'S NOT LOVE. IT'S NOT A DRUG TRIP. YOU AREN'T STEPPING OFF A ROLLERCOASTER.
IT'S A MIGRAINE.
I've been there. Hit suddenly at my job, unable to read the words on the screen. Rushing to lay down in the back room. Then the pain, the unbearable 'cut off my head I need to scream' debilitating pain that hits any and every part of your head. It's like I've been stabbed and my brain is throbbing all over trying to get blood around. Then the vomiting that gives about 15 seconds of relief before it starts all over again.
This isn't a way to live. Because it feels like dying.
I've been at every level of migraine sufferer. From just needing an hour to let it pass to being bed ridden for 2 days, unable to speak, see or eat. I've screamed, cried and wanted to die over the pain. It sounds dramatic but if you've been there, you understand.
Lately I've had LOTS of enquiries about help for migraines. I've made this video for you, if you suffer from migraines, watch and listen. If you know someone, please share this link. No one deserves to live with this pain and the fear of when one will strike again.
Just to recap -
- KNOW YOUR TRIGGERS
- GET SUPPORT
- PUT YOURSELF FIRST
If you need support in figuring out your triggers, advice on where to turn to next, please book in for a free Health Goals Session to see if some 1:1 coaching with someone who's been there could help you through. I wouldn't have healed myself to this level without my mentors, doctors and friends holding my hand through the process.
Don't do it alone.
PROCESSED CHOCOLATE GIVING YOU MIGRAINES?
It did for me. That's why I created my recipe book Treat Your Tastebuds!
These are recipes that I have been using for years and what got me off the processed, full of sugar 'junk' chocolate and into a more healthy and whole food way of eating. If you're worried that diet is the cause for your pain, this is a great place to start!
