"You're not failing to manage your migraines," my neurologist said.

"Think of a hormonal migraine like a fire.
By the time you smell the smoke — it's been burning for hours.
The medication, the ice, the dark room — you're fighting something that started while you were asleep."
I'd been doing this for six years.
Triptans. Preventatives. Magnesium. Botox.
A trigger journal I kept for five months before giving up.
I'd planned my calendar around day 26.
Kept my schedule loose before my period.
Told people "just a headache" more times than I can count.
And she was sitting there telling me the problem wasn't what I was doing.

"There's a window," she said.
"A brief period after the very first sign — before the cascade locks in.
If you can interrupt it there, everything changes.
The problem is nobody has ever built the right tool for that moment."
