Okay I’m Currently Furious That Migraines Are Often So Blindly Easy To Treat And I Had To Find This

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.

Okay I’m Currently Furious That Migraines Are Often So Blindly Easy To Treat And I Had To Find This

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!

An Open Wound Letter

While we are the closest we’ve been to excited for the better part of a decade, the upcoming Metalocalypse finale movie feels … bittersweet.

Many of you in the fandom are aware of a person who went by Holkie, an absolute pillar in the community for as long as there has been a Metalocalypse community online. She ran a ‘Dethklok Minute’ news page across a couple of social media platforms, as well as running several fanwork spaces, her digital footprints are a testament to her love for the series (as well as those responsible for making it). Nobody would be happier about this movie than Holkie.

An Open Wound Letter

(Acknowledgement for her hard work. She was more than just a fan.)

Except … Holkie can’t be here. She passed away in early December of last year. To say that it’s unfair would be a profound understatement. It’s downright cruel, if we’re being honest.

Whether it was intentional or not, one of our most enduring takeaways from Metalocalypse was that the family you choose can be just as important, if not more important, than the family you’re born into. This was something Holkie certainly took to heart, and the fandom was certainly one of her most important family units. She could always make time for you, and she wanted to make sure that everyone felt welcome and included, no matter what. Her enthusiasm was palpable, her fervor contagious, and her absence is being felt now more than ever.

Since Holkie can’t be here to see this, what if … now, WHAT IF … she could be … There … instead? In the movie, we mean. A crazy wish, a pipe dream even.

But what if…

Holkie had an original character, Klokateer #1195 (aka “Janet”). Wouldn’t it be something if she could appear in the film? Just in the background! Nothing fancy! A blink and you’ll miss it moment detectable only by those who know what to look for. A way of immortalizing her, and her dedication. A tribute to how she worked tirelessly behind the scenes, for each and every single one of us.

We realize that’s a big, big ask. And entitled. In reality, a simple “In Memory of …” during the end credits would be more than enough. Still, we felt compelled to put the idea out there into the universe.Holkie is absolutely worth it. If the Powers That Be see this and agree? That would be great. The trick is getting the right pair of eyes on this post.

We don’t want to start any petitions, or spam campaigns, or anything like that. We’ve been sitting on this for more than a week because we were trying to think of the best way to get the word out. We spoke to her closest friends to see if this would be something that she’d want, and the consensus was she’d love it but would hate to bother anyone.

So rule number one is DON’T BE A BOTHER.

We’re not trying to nag or guilt anyone into doing anything. The fact of the matter is Holkie had friends in high places, and many of them might not even be aware that she’s passed away. If anyone wanted to tweet a simple “Hey, have you seen this?” to Brendon or some of the Titmouse crew with a link to this post, that’d be pretty cool. Remember to be respectful and polite, above all else. If you wanted to just reblog this or link to it from other social media to boost awareness, that’d be pretty sweet too.

Thank you all for listening.

Simple yet dramatic DA things to do🏹☕️

Sit down in the shower. Tip your head back and pay attention to each drop of water that lands on your face. Listen to nothing but the noises that the water makes as it misses your body and hits the base.

Sit by an open window late at night and feel like cool breeze brush past your face. See how it helps forget your problems for a brief second?

Lay down on your floor and place your legs up against the nearest wall or wardrobe. Play song songs through headphones as you stare into the abyss of your ceiling. Cry if you need to.

Listen to a heavy bass song on an old speaker whilst in the bath. Turn off the lights and submerge your head underneath. For a couple of seconds realise how nothing else matters apart from that bass that swims through the water. Take a very dramatic deep breath when you raise your head from beneath the water.

Write down your feelings and deep secreted emotions on a piece of paper. Screw up the paper and throw it into a lot fireplace. Watch as the paper blackens and how your thoughts are lost within the blaze.

Drink fruit juice out of a wine glass. Swill the juice around the glass whilst you turn the pages of an old book. Read a dramatic line of a book and react loudly before taking a sip from the glass.

Using stacks of books and cushions to reach something on a high shelf. Stretching onto your toes to try and grab whatever is just out of reach.
