Symptoms
The full picture: pain, nausea, sensory sensitivity, cognitive fog, and the phases before and after an attack.
What To Do During an Attack
When an attack begins, the instinct is to push through. Here's a calmer script: darkness, quiet, water, early medication, and rest without guilt.
The four phases of a migraine attack
An attack rarely begins with pain. Knowing the four phases — prodrome, aura, headache, postdrome — helps you act earlier and recover better.

Understanding Migraine
The fundamentals: what migraine is, its different types (with and without aura, retinal, vestibular, hemiplegic), and why it affects the whole nervous system.
Visual Aura
Zigzags, shimmering arcs, blind spots and other visual disturbances — what they are, why they happen, and how to cope.
Triggers
Foods, hormones, sleep, stress, weather, screen light — mapping the personal patterns that provoke episodes.
Recovery
Getting through the postdrome, restoring energy, and rebuilding after an attack.
Emotional Health
Migraine is not just physical. Grief, anxiety, fear of the next attack, identity — and how to care for the emotional side.
Lifestyle
Sleep hygiene, nutrition, hydration, movement, screen habits — small daily choices that shift the baseline.
