It’s been 76 days since my last migraine.

For the last couple of months, I have had headaches on or around my period.

This month, I didn’t.

I felt lousy for a couple of days, but I really didn’t have a headache.

I guess my brain is still healing.

I did end up with a headache a couple days after my cycle. It was caused by a number of things–first, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Then, I walked into a hobby shop where a group of people were painting miniatures. The smell gave me an instant headache. Later, I had too much sugar, and so ended up with a bad headache. However, I slept that night, and the headache was gone by the next morning.

I don’t know if I can keep healing, if I can end up with a mensuration cycle without even a day of feeling bad. It might be possible, it might not be. But I’m willing to stick with what I’ve been doing and see if perhaps I can heal even more.

ION–I’ve been much more successful about taking breaks and stretching. I don’t want to imply that I’ve nailed these things called “breaks”. I’ve just managed to convince myself to take a few more than I had been. We’ll see what happens the next time I have a really heavy day, if I can stay balanced or not.
