If migraines are part of your life, coffee shops don’t have to be “off limits.” The goal is simply to reduce common triggers: big caffeine hits, lots of sugar, and dehydration.

Here are hot, migraine-friendlier orders to try:

1) Decaf latte (or half-caf latte)
Ask for half sweet (or no syrup). Smaller size = gentler.

2) Hot brewed decaf coffee
Add a splash of milk/cream if you want. Skip extra syrups if sugar is a trigger for you.

3) Herbal tea (caffeine-free)
A great option if you want warmth without a caffeine spike.

4) Steamed milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Add cinnamon. Keep add-ins light if sweetness triggers you.

Quick rule: If you do caffeine, grab water on the side and avoid drinking it on an empty stomach.

Part 2/3: When “trigeminal” pain isn’t nerve damage

Hearing the word trigeminal can feel terrifying — like something is permanently broken.

But here’s the reality:

True inflammation of the trigeminal nerve itself is rare.
More often, signals from the neck or jaw feed into the same brainstem hub that processes facial pain.

When that hub gets overloaded, the whole pathway “lights up” — and the brain can experience burning, stabbing, or electric facial pain.

The nerve isn’t broken.

The system is overwhelmed.

🎧 Want the full breakdown? We explain this clearly in our Trigeminal Neuralgia podcast episode.

👉 DM TRIGEMINAL and we’ll send the link directly.

💾 Save this if you’ve ever been told “it’s the nerve” without much explanation.

Don’t play with your sleep—especially if headaches or migraines are part of your life.

If your neck isn’t supported at night, sleep can feel restless… and some people even wake up with head pain.

Quick pillow check:
Back sleepers: thin/flat pillow + small towel roll under the neck

Side sleepers: fill the shoulder-to-head gap (if your hand goes under your head, your pillow’s too small) + pillow between knees

Stomach sleepers: if you get headaches/migraines, avoid when possible—your neck stays rotated for hours
We break down why sleep position and neck support matter (and what to do about it) in more detail.

Part 1/3: Why eye pain isn’t always an eye problem

If you’ve had sharp, stabbing, or burning pain behind one eye, you’ve probably wondered, “Why can’t anyone find this?”

Here’s something most people are never told:
Pain behind the eye often travels along the trigeminal nerve pathway — and that pathway also receives input from the upper neck.

So even when eye exams and scans are normal, the brain can still interpret neck-related signals as eye pain.
That doesn’t mean you’re imagining it.

It means the source may not be where it feels.

🎧 We break this down in depth in our Trigeminal Neuralgia podcast episode — including why eye pain is so often misunderstood.

👉 DM us “TRIGEMINAL” and we’ll send you the episode link.

If you’ve ever struggled with migraines while trying to take care of your family… this is for you.

➡️For the moms who wake up already exhausted.
➡️ For the moms dealing with neck pain, back pain, or migraines that steal their mornings before they even begin.
➡️For the moms who miss school drop-offs, soccer games, or dance recitals — not because you don’t want to be there, but because the pain is too much.

If this is you, hear this clearly:
➡️ You are not failing. You are fighting.
➡️ Migraines don’t define your motherhood.
➡️ They don’t take away your worth.

And they do not get the final say.

These dark days will end. Your pain can lessen. And you deserve support — not silence.

At Novera, we see you. We care about you. And we’re here to help you keep fighting 🤍

Our goal is to help you return to your life — present, confident, and no longer ruled by fear of the next migraine.

If you’re ready for a different path forward, we’re here.
✨ Comment “RELIEF” and we’ll DM you next steps.

New mom headaches can feel random… but for a lot of moms, they’re not. 💛

Between feeding, rocking, carrying, stroller walks, and looking down all day, your body spends hours in a forward position — and that extra load can build tension in the neck + upper back (a common driver for headaches and migraines).

That’s why these two “daily reset” moves matter — and you can do them with your baby right there:
✅ Banded rows — 2 sets of 10–15
✅ Foam roller stretch — 5–10 minutes

You don’t need perfect posture. Just a small reset that helps your neck stop doing all the work.

Save this for the next day your shoulders feel up in your ears. 💙

If you’ve been told you have “migraines,” that label can be helpful — but it doesn’t always explain why it’s happening. 🧠💭

In headache medicine, diagnoses often fall into two buckets:
✅ Primary headaches = diagnosed by symptoms, without a clear underlying cause
✅ Secondary headaches = symptoms caused by something identifiable (a driver)

This matters because if there’s a driver, the goal isn’t just managing symptoms — it’s understanding what’s creating the pain signals.

One commonly overlooked driver is how the neck, jaw, and shoulders are functioning. When those systems are irritated or not moving well, they can refer pain upward and mimic migraine symptoms.

If you’ve ever felt like your diagnosis explains what it feels like… but not why it’s happening — you’re not alone. And it’s worth getting curious about what might be underneath. 💡
