Well, I’m not exactly sure what causes my knots (or even some of my migraines sometimes). There are times when I get little sleep, and i’m perfectly fine, and times when I get decent sleep and suddenly I’m tense in the shoulders and a migraine is developing. I have wondered if stress is a cause, but if it is, then I sure am weak, because I’ve seen other people under more stress than me and not get even half the pain I do. Same goes for stretching. I dont do it very day, but at least once a week, and some people who never do it don’t get half the pain I do. I only slouch when I’m not watching myself though. I tend to catch the slouch quickly, I and sit up right away.
Never tried acupuncture, but mostly because I’m terrified to, haha. I know I should, but I worry bout the needles, and the person. What if they make a mistake? What if something goes terribly wrong? But I guess it cant be as bad as liver damage caused by too much tylanol ):
I’ve taken imitrex for my migraines, but once my insurance ran out, I wasnt able to afford it anymore. Thing is though, the imitrex packet never lasted more than a month! Mostly because my migraines are chronic, and I haven’t been able to find out why :/
I exercise regularly, but recently I havent in about two weeks due to studying for exams (which could be a possible reason for my current knots and migraine, but doesn’t explain the rest).
Anyway, I guess thats answers about all your questions :P Btw, I do plan to see a doctor soon, but its going to have to be a school doctor, since my lack of insurance prevents me from being able to see a neurologist or migraine specialist.
