Movement with Migraine: MHAM Blog Challenge #16

Today's Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blog Challenge prompt is: Riverdance: Have you found a way to work exercise or movement into your life with Migraine/Headache Disorder? What is it?

While there have been periods of time during my life with Chronic Migraine in which I found ways to work up to more vigorous exercise, right now I have to limit myself quite a bit.

Gentle walking on a fairly moderate day is usually doable. Stretching helps me the very most, and it is something I can do almost any day.

Harry Potter: Migraine Eliminating Spell: MHAM Blog Challenge #15

Today's Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blog Challenge prompt is: Harry Potter:  Write & name a spell for getting rid of a Migraine/Headache attack.

Though I've enjoyed the Harry Potter series, I'm not the world's biggest fan. So I'm not sure how good my spell could possibly be, but I tried.

Migrainous Interruptous - Ends a Migraine attack immediately. Can be used as soon as you know one is coming on. Leaves you with no hungover feeling or side effects.

What would you call your spell?

Must You Live So Loudly? MHAM Blog Challenge #14

Today I'm using an alternate prompt for the Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blog Challenge: Temple Grandin: "A school bell sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears": Many of us have wondered to ourselves, must you live so loudly? How do you cope with phonophobia (noise sensitivity)?


This issue comes up pretty often in my day-to-day life when I'm in a restaurant, store or other public place. I know I'm more sensitive to noise than most people, but it also seems to me that some people are downright rude about being loud in public places.

My main strategy is to put in my headphones and listen to soothing music on my iPhone. It not only drowns out the blaring jerks, but also gives me something else to focus on. Transporting myself away from the triggering situation is really the only thing that helps.

Eat Pray Love: Migraine Trigger-Free Recipe: MHAM Blog Challenge #13

Today I'm using an alternate prompt for the Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blog Challenge: Eat Pray Love: Share your favorite Migraine trigger-free recipe.

If particular foods or ingredients trigger your Migraine attacks, it can feel rather deflating trying to avoid those items and still enjoy what you eat. I think it's incredibly important to have some go-to recipes that taste great that you can you can access at a moment's notice so you don't feel as bound by the constraints imposed by Migraine.

Spiced Chipotle Honey Chicken with Sweet Potatoes is a meal we eat often at our house. It fits my restrictions, it's healthy and it's delicious. Be sure to tweak this recipe to work around your own food triggers and other dietary needs.

Migraine Guinea Pig: MHAM Blog Challenge #12

Today's Migraine & Headache Awareness Month Blog Challenge prompt is: The Box: You are the experiment: What situation in your Migraine/Headache Disorders treatment has made you feel most like a guinea pig or lab rat?
