Saving this for the next time i suffer from a migraine

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!

LITERALLY got in an argument with someone who called me racist because they are a non-native English speaker and "have to use AI to rephrase their work because their English is not good enough"

Girlypop

First of all, you're allowed to write in imperfect English. You're allowed to make mistakes and say things awkwardly and learn by trial. If anyone shames you for that, they're dicks.

Secondly, how do you think people learnt to speak/write languages before AI ffs. Use the built-in spellcheck function in microsoft (NOT grammarly bc that's AI powered now), use a dictionary, ask people to beta you. *L e a r n*, goddamn it, learn. Don't just avoid.

AI is plague upon this very earth don't touch it.

ai is making people way too comfortable with being incompetent stupid and useless… go learn some skills

I think the penvensie children need to get better tastes in food if i'm honest

Everyone wants to give Edmund shit for selling out his family for turkish delight, but no one talks about Lucy going off to a strangers house when promised tea and sardines. I think maybe the Pevensie children just need to stop trusting complete strangers that offer them food.

GODS work op

no voldemort post-hogwarts era where sirius and severus eventually, reluctantly somehow become friends and theyre seen together quite frequently, and people catch on and theyre like, "aww you guys are such good friends, it's like youre brothers!" and sirius looks pretty uncomfortable whenever someone calls them brothers, and this upsets severus because sirius seems to love it when people refer to james and sirius as brothers, so he thinks it's because sirius doesn't actually see him as a close friend, but no, sirius actually wants to fuck him 😭😭😭

ranking the best things I have had heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

"Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

(spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

[okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: ""[xxx], "Please remember that the patient is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

[another procedure where the patient couldn't be anaesthetised] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*
