    Alexandra, I've never heard of fructose intolerance reactions - wow it sounds like you need to lead a very carefully controlled life! Please take care of yourself, I am so sympathetic. You endure a lot of pain.

    I did do a couple of Miranda workouts, Anabirgite - one for upper body and one for lower body. I went to bed with my joints feeling very lubricated. I also found a short video from Mark Wildman, a 3 minute neck drill that, he promises, will change our lives. I'll do that too. I work at the computer a lot, it's time to take back and neck health and mobility seriously.

    Gosh, I wish I had this guy's neck mobility to be honest. I can look behind my shoulder, or rest my head on my shoulder (like ear on shoulder) without problems. I might be a bit hypermobile, which isn't a great thing as it comes with lots of less cool things.

    I will definitely try this!!!! I was having aura/ migraine headaches this morning while playing pickleball (I know I am crazy- I just pretend I am not having a migraine and am determine to have a normal life) while waiting for medication to work. I should apologize to those I played pre-maxalt.

    I use a rollin topical CBD, it is not digested and provides relief only to the spot rolled on. My food migraines come up my back of neck, so I use there and into my hairline. My hormonal migraines start from eyes back and top of head. I have not used the CBD on my face or top of head yet... I also wish you good luck on your path to living migraine free. I like yoga, but lately, a friend introduced me to Essentrics, its a stretching routine that has been helping me:

    This was great, thanks for sharing!

    I've been doing a lot of gardening and not much stretching or yoga, and have been very stiff in the AM. Will definitely put this in the rotation.

    Wondering what it reminds me of...not yoga, I don't really think aerobics, maybe ballet? It's been decades, lol.

    Those exercises look very interesting.

    And yes, I do live a very carefully controlled life. I don't work outside the home and this is partly why; however, I work very hard within the home for my own benefit and that of my partners, who are severely mentally ill and need that type of careful orderly life in order to cope with their illness and live around and in spite of it.

    I know that today since my brain decided I was done sleeping! at four in the morning, I'll have a migraine this afternoon. But knowing that, I can plan things so that it doesn't materially mess up my plans for the day, and that helps with overall stress, and it will be okay.

    This is great. When I had a trapped nerve, my physiotherapist had me doing a similar set of exercises, but every hour! It made such a difference, and I try to do it several times a day. This guy has some additional exercises though which I shall add in.
