What you say, Lexi, makes sense with me. I was 8 when I got my first bad headaches, and it was during those few months that I developed my 9 year old, to be the protector and angry. So it makes sense that the stress causes my body to be super alert. Muscle tension is always an issue with me, and it is usually during very stressful periods that the migraines get bad. First when I was in grade 4, then when I was doing okay, I barely had any. Then when I started to bring all the memories into a more conscious awareness did they get really bad.

Thank you very much for sharing, I know it is difficult to talk about some things. I appreciate all the support of everyone!
