    Discovering two things and responding to them to ascertain its relevance to me significantly improved my quality of life .

    1/ Bruxism – teeth grinding and clenching during sleep and awake can cause migraine

    I sincerely hope that helps anyone who is not aware of this.

    If I was a mechanic and there was something wrong with the engine, and I had done all the appropriate triage but was investigating further, and a stranger walked up and said “Hey, you should try changing the oil!” Arg.

    Great advice. I think it’s good to be aware that people sometimes do genuinely want to help, but it can be insulting when they simplify the problem. “Have you tried _______?” can feel patronizing when we are working so hard.

    “How can I help”, “Do you want to talk about it”, and “what sort of strategies have helped?” are much more welcome questions in my books 🙂

    Thank you for this post.
