Computer Screen & Sleeping Pattern Cause for My Migraine

Migraine of February 2016

My first one this month came and is still in effect, but not in the flair mode. So far my strict schedule has kept them at bay. I was more quickly able to noticed some things that I did that may have set them off. I had a constant sleeping pattern and two days of it being off, with the last day of watching shows on YouTube may have caused the problems.

Honorable mention: I got really thirsty for water few hours before the migraines started. I have been so stressed that the new stressed I buried it deep inside to not affect me which could have enough effect on me to also cause problems.

What makes this entry interesting is that this represent my normal life at college where I am up late typing going to sleep late getting up early. Since I wasn't in school I had the ability to stay on a constant sleeping routine. Within 48 hours of it being broken a migraine hits.

Fish Oil
I found on many sites over the years that fish oil helps. I've had a steady diet of fish and I loved it. I fry my fish, and I find the oil is nicely trapped inside the meat and it adds such nice contrasting flavor.
Red Tea from South Africa
That tea I drink often, at first I felt it gave me migraines but I think I am accustom to drinking it. It is my favorite tea.

Stress not related to Migraines

I had a very stressful winter, that has caused me to have many migraines...or was that really the cause.
My first week back I got thee migraines back-to-back days. It may have been the same one but the medicine took away the side-effects of a headache. I have a lot of things to do this summer. I will overcome my fears of doing stand-up comedy, make a living doing photography, create a publication and find a specialist who can do something about these migraines.

By now I should be an expert, but I am more an expert on feeling pain, that was a Drake joke, boom that happened. I can say that I do know at least two triggers that I will be fighting. The summer has it's own lack of structure, either nothing is happening or something always pops up especially being self-employed. So my two triggers are sleeping pattern and eating pattern along with the quality of food.

Having foster kids I sleep with one eye open as some steal and eat all the food that usually keeps me healthy. Now that I am taking a break from college to search for a better living quality I have to focus on health and starting a publication and photography business, but with the unstable living conditions a migraine ruin everything.

However it has been mostly reduced stress this first week back and out of the seven days three were migraines. For anyone who has migraines there are the days of extreme fatigue that follows. I had two productive since I came back home, certainly not a good start. However, I did finish all the photos from the past events and I am free to take on the summer.
