The Persistent Headache

The Double Edged Sword of Rest

To those who noticed - apologies for not uploading last week :) Today, I'm getting into rest! And I'm gonna get plenty personal too. Over my 15 years of experience with a chronic headache, I have plenty of thoughts on what shapes our ideas on rest. How it different for the healthy versus chronically pained, how society views rest, how the mind rests versus body rest, and more... Please let me know what you think of this episode!

Headachey Relationships

Today I want to dive into how our relationships are affected by our headaches. We'll go through acquaintances, then friendships, then loved ones! I didn't use any sources here, but I did reference Anne Boyer's The Undying. Thanks for listening! The Confidence Alliance! [https://confidencealliance.com/] Contact me here!

Chronic Headache Classification

Today we're asking: what actually makes a chronic headache? How do we differetiate and describe them? Someday I'd love to do episodes diving into the specifics of each primary chronic headache.
