I keep getting these terrible headaches. How do I stop them?


For a while, I suffered from persistent, recurrent headaches that only taking Nurofen could shift. I found my headaches came down to a few things.


Eyestrain
  • Lack of rest, especially the eyes,
  • Dirty glasses
  • Lighting coming from behind the tv/monitor, a bit like an eclipse

The brain
  • Lack of water, drink water without crap in it. Crap = flavours, additives etc.
  • Caffeine withdrawal, caffeine pills
  • Alcohol dries out the brain, drink more water

The body
  • Poor posture, sit upright adjust your keyboard monitor, seat properly, and foot rest
  • Take regular breaks, from working
  • Get the right amount of sleep for you. Varies between 6 - 10 hours because of age, gender, and recent activity

It took me months to clear all the crap out of the system.

The biggest threat to my brain was my favourite fizzy orange drink. When I really had a look at the back I was surprised to see so many e numbers it made my head spin.

I now don’t use Nurofen or get crippling migraines.

Please note: This is not medical advice. I am not a doctor.

Something that will help your doctor is a little diary of when and where these headaches occur. Also along side, this put the severity and length of a headache.

The doctor likes evidence like this.


Good luck.

Signs of achievement are often based on linear strengths some dyslexics do not have. People with linear skills excel in corporate structures and other institutions, including school.  However having dyslexia means that some weaknesses, like lack of detail, structuring reports, nonlinear thinking will never see you being promoted to jobs you would naturally excel at. It makes no sense to me to recruit a leader base on non-leadership skills. Here is your Dyslexia Entrepreneurial Playbook. Dyslexia —difficulty with organisation, learning, working memory, Parker C. (1998). British Dyslexia Association handbook. Reading. 1. Delegate! This may also be linked to the trend reported in this study that dyslexics are more ...

Learning Difficulty vs Disability

Learning difficulty Vs Learning Difficulty I came across this "difference" when first talking about my dyslexia to the DWP. It seemed that during the application for access to work on working tax credits, my dyslexia was not a disability, but a difficulty. Access to work is a secret UK government working disability program were once employed, either self-employed or otherwise, the government looks at ways to reduce the stress of working. During my email assessment in 2017; I was hard for the assessor to convince me that my dyslexia was not disabling enough, to be called a disability. Because the access to work part of the DWP does not think like the rest of the DWP. After repeating this statement below several times, access to work then accepted my(rest of DWP and world) explanation of dyslexia as a disability. 1) Are you disabled as defined under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995? Yes. Dyslexia is a recognised difficulty under Equality Act 2010, replacin...
