Yoga for Migraine

I want to call something out

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

I want to call something out that I don't think we talk about enough in the migraine community.

We're so used to migraine pain that we've stopped noticing how much discomfort we've accepted in the name of treatment.

We brace ourselves for 31 needles in our forehead and scalp every 12 weeks.

We accept the constipation that comes with a medication that maybe helps.

The draining side effects. The fatigue. The brain fog.

The hours we spend on hold with pharmacies and insurance companies fighting for the treatments we've already been prescribed.

We endure.

And sometimes those things are absolutely worth it. I know they have been for me. I'm grateful for the medical treatments that help me function on hard migraine days.

But at some point, I started wondering:

Why have we accepted that all migraine care has to hurt?

What if part of your migraine care felt soothing instead of stressful?

What if it calmed your nervous system instead of asking more from it?

What if it was something you genuinely looked forward to returning to?

That's what I hoped to create inside the Migraine Self-Care Circle.

Migraine care that not only relieves your symptoms, but actually feels good.

Amy joined the Circle while struggling with vestibular migraine. Here's what she shared:

"I am now experiencing fewer migraine attacks, and I am able to recover from them faster than I did before joining.
​
The Circle has empowered me to better manage my symptoms and improved my whole outlook on life.
​
The calming practices don't trigger my symptoms, but in fact, ease my pain when I am having symptoms."

The Migraine Self-Care Circle isn't a replacement for medical care. It's the kind of support many of us never realized we needed alongside it.

For June Migraine Support Month, you can join for $44/month (regularly $55) and keep that rate for as long as you remain a member.

The June Support Month rate ends in 10 days.

Take care,

Adriane

P.S. Remember, you deserve support that doesn't ask you to suffer more in order to feel better.

Last week I participated in my fifth Headache on the Hill (HOH), a biannual advocacy event for better legislation and funding for headache disorders with my representatives in the United States Congress. This year I didn’t fly all the way to Washington DC to participate, but I was able to meet with my representatives virtually for a day of seven meetings for Idaho and Vermont. It sounds easier than flying across the country, but somehow it still wipes me out every time! This year felt a...

I know that seeing other people get better while you’re still struggling with migraine can sometimes feel more discouraging. “Must be nice to be her!” you think as you spend another day in bed with a migraine attack. But sometimes, seeing what’s possible can also give you hope that your migraine can improve when you try something different. I hope watching this short 1 minute video featuring my Beyond Migraine clients gives you a spark of hope. Because my clients inspire me everyday about...

You know what I hear over and over again from so many women with chronic migraine? You’re overwhelmed and exhausted. You want to be more physically active, but struggle to do it regularly. You feel isolated and are starting to lose hope that your migraine will ever get better. Girl, I’ve been there. And one of the things I’ve learned after coaching women with migraine for the last five years is this: You probably don't need more information about migraine. What you really need is support...
