My Vestibular Migraine Triggers

I just prepared my migraine calendar for my neurologist in March.

So after 4 years of not being able to work full time, I finally went back to a full-time role in September 2019 working as a learning support worker for a girl with special needs and also as a full time teaching assistant.

I had to give up my marketing career working on computers due to vision issues/a chronic vestibular disorder so I decided to try working with children instead.

My biggest triggers for a relapse are…..

❤️ Extreme stress

❤️ Bright Lights

❤️ Loud noises

❤️ Too much movement

Due to the nature of the job, I was doing 2 roles in one and also assisting with speech therapy, teaching 15 students to read, general TA work, supervising children with behavioral issues and also being an around the clock carer for another child, my migraines started to snowball.

( I wasn’t informed about the true nature of the work until my first day at the school! )

There is a migraine threshold so for example, you may be able to deal with all these triggers in one day and just about manage it, but to surround yourself with these triggers on 5 consecutive days, caused me to burn out and start to relapse again.

It’s really handy to keep a migraine calendar so you can see what your triggers are.

For me, working in an extremely stressful environment on a continuous basis was far too much. I am now back to 3 days a week working in different schools in my area.

I don’t want people to give up on thinking they can’t get their lives back or go back to full-time work. You just need to be aware of your triggers and also avoid stress as much as possible.

It’s been really hard to step back as I have come so far from basically being bedridden 4 years ago and learning to walk properly again, to being able to function almost normally, go out and drink, even go to clubs and dance. So this has been a big wake up call that it is a neurological disease and it is not something that can be cured, only managed.

When it comes to dizziness and exhaustion, I found this the hardest part as the more migraine attacks I was having, the more dizzy days I would have.

It got so severe that my eyes would swell up and the last few attacks I have had heavy nose bleeds too so don’t try and push through! I didn’t listen to my body, and it got to the stage in the morning the exhaustion was so severe it was hard to lift my arms, move my legs and I felt I had a run a marathon even though I was getting 9 hours consistent sleep.

It’s very hard not to feel a lot of guilt with this illness, and I still feel really bad at the moment that I have to go back to part-time, but this calendar has helped me put things into perspective and made me realize how bad things were getting again.

IMPORTANT – I have not gone back to where I was 4 years ago! I know that’s people’s biggest worry. It takes me about 4-5 days to recover from a bad attack and then I can function again until the next one.

Who Can Benefit From Auto Trading?

Binary trading robot solutions are everywhere. Companies claim that their robots are excellent when, really, they may be adept at offering losses and nothing else. In order to work out whether a robot will work for you, you should know why you’re utilising one and the benefits of auto trading. 

Binary trading robots are useful for all sorts of people. Beginners to trade use them to get acquainted with how trading works, especially when they are uncertain of jargon and interpreting visuals. More experienced traders also use them alongside binary options signals and investor analyst reports as part of a concerted and coherent strategy to trade successfully in the marketplace. A binary options robot can allow you to harness the various benefits of auto trading and, when you use a reputable company, they can drastically improve your success rate in lower level trades. 

One peculiar advantage of trading robots is that you can be active in the market while you’re asleep or other unavailable. As long as you trust the service provider, you can participate in markets on the other side of the world and be successful. Similarly, a robot can take the difficult decisions out of your hands. It’s always tempting to hold on, or not to trade at all in case you make a mistake, but binary options robots remove this human element and allow you to make money without your emotions or fears getting in the way. If this sounds like a good idea, you may certainly benefit from a binary options robot. 

Email Services

Trading signals binary options can be useful in their various forms. One of the most popular remains email notifications via a dedicated signals service provider who knows enough about the market to be able to assist you. The success of these services varies from provider to provider but they can be incredibly useful. 

The email notifications you will receive from your binary options signals service provider are the kind that you can set up and be sure you’ll receive. However, on the part of the service provider, they are one aspect of a complex process to deliver the most accurate and reliable signals to their clients as possible. Your binary options trading signals are generated first by the gathering of data from the market which are then analysed and passed on to you promptly and when they will be of use. For ease, when emailing you binary options signals, services will generally only include the most important information which is relevant to you. This cuts out much of the jargon and complexity you’ll otherwise find in the marketplace and is one of the best reasons for novices to utilise signal services to start successfully trading in the marketplace. Services will be able to give you detailed advice about when it’s appropriate to act on the signal. It’s true that many signals are snapshots that are only applicable at a particular time so, if you miss a window of opportunity, it’s better not to act on the signal than to act a little too late. 

Crafting A Better Business Image

When it comes to your business, don’t underestimate the power of how things look. That’s the brand in effect, using what you can to create an image that helps draw and maintain more business. They say that beauty is only skin-deep, but new clients and customers aren’t likely to look too far beyond that surface, to begin with. For that reason, we’re going to look at what your business image is made of, and what you can do to help reshape it to your business.

Professionalism and organisation

How your business interacts with the world its boundaries is going to be tightly scrutinized by those who are considering reaching out. How you advertise, how you offer support, and how you deliver your services will all be under the magnifying glass. For that reason, making sure that you are organised, such as working with a brand bible when it comes to advertising, is essential if you want to earn trust. The business needs to look unified and like it has a sense of direction to it. However your business interacts with the outside world, you want to make sure there are no weak links.

The visual appearance

Your brand depends on the imagery that your business uses, as well. A lot of care and attention must go into website design to make sure that your online space doesn’t look amateurish or incomplete. Otherwise, you’re likely to lose your visitors to your competitors. If you’re not a graphic designer, then it’s worth considering working with one to help establish a visual image for the business that fits the brand you want to present to the world.

The brand visuals

Your brand image is created not only by your marketing material and your website, though those do have an impact on it. It’s about how you project professionalism and project your business image, as well. As such, no matter how your business runs, you should something of a veneer set-up to assure clients that you are the right choice. For instance, virtual offices can help small and growing businesses find an established address and phone number. This can help them avoid the stigma that often comes with being a smaller fish in the big pond, allowing them to prove themselves through their services first and foremost.

Your personal presentation

As the leader and head of your business, you also matter to the success of your business. Dressing appropriately for whichever business space you inhabit should be a number one concern, but making a good first impression goes beyond that. It’s about seeming confident, open, and ready to listen to the client, without being overconfident or overbearing. Showing your clients respect, and paying them your full attention is key. Public speaking courses and the like can help you get over any nerves when it comes to meetings, too.

To your business, image is everything, at least for the first steps. Proving yourself beyond that image becomes undeniably important. However, first of all, you have to get your foot in the door, and the image is what does that.
