guys what's your methods? personally i think about doctors examining me, works like a charm

been doing a LOT of analog note-taking / journaling / planning lately (new years' resolution fulfilled! yes!), and I've slowly but surely started writing mostly in cursive again.

that said, I'm old (almost 35, ew) so I have questions.

if you want to RB this and put you age / locale / whatever else you think is relevant in the tags, that'd be very cool

Okay I’m currently furious that migraines are often so blindly easy to treat and I had to find this out myself at the age of 26 when I’ve been to a neurologist since I was 11 lol so I’m about to teach you two neat and fast little tricks to deal with pain!

The first is the sternocleidomastoid muscle, or the SCM muscle.

This big red section is responsible for pain around the eye, cheekbone, and jaw, as well as some temple pain. Literally all you have to do is angle your head down a little, angle it away from the side that hurts, and then you can gently pinch and rub that muscle. I find it best to start at the bottom and travel upwards. The relief is so immediate! You can increase pressure as you feel comfortable doing so.

Here is a short and easy video showing this in action

The second is a fast and easy stretch that soothes your vagus nerve, which is the nerve responsible for calming you down. The vagus nerve, for those unfamiliar, is stimulated by deep breathing such as yawning, sighing, singing, or taking a deep breath to calm your anger in a tense situation.

You can stretch this out by sitting up as straight as possible (this does not have to be perfect to work) and interlacing your fingers. Put your hands on the back of your head with your thumbs going down the sides of your neck and, while keeping your face forward, look all the way to one side with just your eyes. Hold that until you feel the urge to breathe deeply or yawn, or until you can tell there’s a change. Then do the same thing on the other side. When you put your arms down, you should clearly be able to turn your head farther in both directions. If the first session doesn’t get rid of your migraine, rest and repeat as many times as necessary. I even get a little fancy with it and roll my eyes up and down along the outer edge sometimes to stretch as much as I can.

If you need a visual here’s a good video on it. I know some of the language they use seems questionable but this is real and simple science and should not be discarded because it’s been adopted by the trendy wellness crowd!

I seriously cannot believe I didn’t hear a word of this from any doctor in my life. Additionally, if you get frequent recurring migraines, you may want to see a dietician. Migraines can be caused by foods containing histamines, lectin, etc. and can also be caused by high blood pressure in specific situations such as exercise, stress, and even sex.

If any of this information helps you I’d love to hear it btw! It’s so so fast and easy to do. Good luck!

Examples:

I have banged my foot on my bed: Dude oww

Website not loading: Dude come on

Eating delicious food by thyself: DUDE *in excitement and happiness*

As someone who also grew up in California dude is a big part of my lexicon as well as my sibling and people I grew up with.

Reblog if you have used dude as a non gender specific term.

Another commission I asked @/crispycandyyy for my Miraculous AU. I love this so much! The shading and colouring is so beautiful!

The AU is a combination of a socmed and fanfic, you can read them all on my Twitter account here

the signs as kinks

aries: hair pulling taurus: daddy gemini: extensive teasing cancer: shower sex leo: multiple orgasms virgo: ass slapping/grabbing libra: back scratching and grabbing scorpio: all of them sagittarius: handcuffs/blindfold combination capricorn: hard core hickies aquarius: bdsm pisces: moaning/whimpering

I’m confused

Sure I don’t do much anyway

Reblog if you'll PUBLICLY answer anything in your ask right now.
