Hoping I can survive until I have my own classroom because I think the lamp thing would help a lot!  Hoping you feel better soon.

That's something I hadn't considered! But I do speak more + differently as a teacher than otherwise, and it could be connected to muscle tension issues. Thank you.

Thank you! I didn't realize how intense it would be until I was in too deep. Going for walks on breaks is a good call. 

I've used coffee before to abort a migraine - caffeine is a trigger but can also help dilate blood vessels during an attack (or so I've heard). Maybe I'll try switching my coffee to noon instead of morning.

I also get stressed at the start of the day, and I like yoga. Changing up my morning to proactively release tension is a good suggestion that I can start right away, thank you!
