What people who don’t get migraines also don’t realize is that the medicine is so wildly variable in efficacy for people. I think I tried like 5 and only 1 worked for me.

Everyone is an armchair expert. When I was getting hormonal migraines I had so many people give baseless advice. When I figured out the culprit (my BC) it was hard to convince people including my doctors.

I also learned that if people can’t see why you’re in pain, then it obviously can’t be real. 🙄

Y’all, this job took me 5+ hours to apply to and required me to ask my thesis advisor to submit a rec while she was on pediatric on call service.

BE honest about what you want. I would have told you why I could teach the other. You asked which I could teach BEST right now.

Making time for yourself to do non science things has helped me immensely. Reminding myself that I am one person.
