migraine

I think I hit my first relapse in this process. Some history - My work is seasonally busy at this time. Last year, had an anxiety/chronic migraine breakdown. Went on disability. Came back to work. Found TMS in May. I know work stress is a trigger so I had all the tools for stress management...

Okay, I've done fairly well the last number of months with getting rid of TOS and myofascial pain, however, since being in therapy and having some intense sessions, the symptom imperative has reared its ugly head - this time with migraines and hiatal hernia flares. Grrrr...:mad: I usually don't...

Just wondering if anyone else experiences pains in their head moving around . I normally get migraines and I almost had one the other day turn into a full blown one but after reading a success story it just went away like it never happened . Since then I get what feel like little sharp pains...

I didn't know if I should call this "Living with Aspergers" or "Shingles on the heels of a migraine?" I am in pain. Emotional. Physical. I hate to say it but I think it was the darkness of the holiday season and having my husband home for 12 days in a row. Stress. Tons of intermittent stress...

I've noticed that my migraines & headaches go away when I completely forget about them. I know it's going to take time because it's been my constant thought for over 5 years but slowly, and I'm talking baby steps, there have been periods of time where I stopped thinking about it and as soon as I...

I just wanted to share something that happened this weekend. Friday night I met my former best friend from my 20's. This was my past life. Life before kids and health problems. Anyway, it's hard to see her because sometimes I think I would have that great of a life if I didn't have my issues...

Hey guys! Getting 5 kids ready for school is a lot of work, but I finally got around to recording the next video answering viewer questions. Enjoy! Keep the questions coming! XO n.

Hi, Short history: Migraines, did the SEP, been working on TMS since May. Had great progress but still have daily headache sensations and migraines went down about 50%. Anxiety also went way down. Dilema: I went to see my migraine specialist for a follow up yesterday. I am still on a daily...

Hi Everyone, I finally completed the 42nd day. It took me almost 3 months but I didn't have time to journal every day. Here is a quick recap of how it all went down for me. BEFORE - Before I started the SEP and read Mindbody Prescription I had anxiety most days. I had constant fear and a...

I stopped keeping track of when my menstrual cycle was coming. I used to write it down and I would know that the week before I would have migraines. I figured that was putting too much focus on my body so I decided to forget about it and see what happened. I was doing really great. It came and...

Hi, I've posted a few times about work stress. It's been bad for me lately but in a different way. There are changes going on in my dept. and I've given up certain projects that would be desirable to others. As a result, I'm finding out that people like working with my co-worker much better than...

Last week was very humbling for me in terms of my TMS recovery. I thought it would be enough to know what causes my migraines, to pinpoint the stressors and triggers. It was not. Last week I had major work stress. I was told straight to my face by upper management that I have no value in a...

Well I had fun for the first time in years. We went to visit some friends at a lake and I actually had fun. I'm still on a high. I haven't let go in years. I didn't fuss over my migraines, the sleeping situation, the food, the heat, or the drive. We arrived Friday and on Saturday I fought a...

Hi, Today's SEP calls for a forum post on how I am doing so far and any apprehensions I may have so here goes.. I'm taking my time doing the SEP. I'm on day 25 but have been at it for a couple of months. The changes in myself I have noticed lately are as follows: Pain Overall, my constant...

What are some things you guys do to not focus on your body? My problem is that there is this very quiet time when I open my eyes in the morning. It's this magical time where I have no head pain. Then, immediately I start scanning my body. How's my head? How's my neck? How's my digestion? How's...

I'm taking my time through the SEP. Day 15 so far and I thought I'd take time to post how it's been going so far. It's been about a month.. I'm working on the SEP because of migraines & anxiety. Things I've noticed so far: • I wish journaling helped me more. I've long known what problems in my...

Migraines for 9 years - My Success Story When I was a teen, I remember saying “Thank God I don’t get headaches like my mother!" Little did I know that the child in my head was listening. I was working as a teacher 9 years ago when I got my first bad migraine. I later realized that this...

My symptoms (buzzing, stabbing, stinging, tingling, twitching in my feet and legs) occur every minute of the day. They sometimes become so severe that I start to get headaches, brain fog, burning head/chest, and an inability to focus for long periods of time. I've been practicing mindfulness...

I have had neck and shoulder pain and headaches since high school, over 20 years, the lower back started a couple years ago and my heels/feet started hurting a year ago and I'm realizing I'm tender in most places. I've been to the chiropractor but find little relief and concluded it's more...

I am a 52 year old man. I started having back pain when I was a teenager. I “sprained” my back when I was 15 years old, and was temporarily paralyzed. I spent 3 weeks in bed and another 3 weeks on crutches. You have to understand that I was an otherwise healthy kid. I was very athletic and...
