Complaint: My body's Christmas gift to itself is a 24-hr+ migraine that had two long rounds of aura yesterday morning and woke me up multiple times in the night. I took my meds yesterday but I'm trying not to take anymore. I've already gone over the recommended usage per week lately.

Uncomplaint: Despite my migraine, I really had such a nice Christmas. Spent Christmas Eve with a few new friends having dinner and hanging out. Spent yesterday cleaning my house, watching TV, napping, and taking a long sunset walk. Quite perfect, tbh!

Confession: I think my migraines might be due to my significant inactivity from surgery recovery. I can't prove it but I have a hunch. I did a few sun salutations and bodyweight exercises this morning and now I'm going to take another long walk. I really wanted to have a little run-walk but I don't think my head can handle a ponytail. Going to charge my watch anyway in case I feel better tomorrow!

I am impressed you were able to do yoga with a migraine! I can barely handle yoga on the best days. Hope you feel better soon

To be fair, it was very half hearted and I couldn’t really do down dog because my head throbs if it’s even remotely upside down, but I tried!
