Coping with Migraine

Easing the Pain
This is the time of year that it really starts for me...relying on coping skills. The weather changes make my pain level go up like crazy. My energy gets depleted so much just dealing with the pain.
Then there's the added stress of upcoming holidays..wanting to be a part of it all...feeling guilt if you can't participate the way you hope and fighting depression of missing out.
I make sure I have my comfort items handy. My fav throws, pillows, sound machine..meds. Also, my new fav is my bedbuddy mask that I picked up from Walmart. I can't tell you the difference it's made in my sleep. And if I just need to rest, no light to worry about. I can also heat it if I want to place it on my forehead.
I'll keep putting suggestions here over the next months that I hope will help!
