I had headaches that were often severe enough to be considered migraines (as per the doc) that I weas finally able to trace back to an undiagnosed tongue tie. Got it snipped, and boom – a total of three small headaches since then.
My indoor kitty was over grooming, scratching himself all the time and puking hairballs. No fleas or obvious causes and the vet was unsure. Had a random thought, switched him to a fish-based food, and overnight he was a new cat (or three, with how fluffy his coat became.) Poor dude was allergic to chicken.
Any similar stories?

Figured out that I had a genetic illness at age 32 after many years of mystery symptoms. Which also lead to a bunch of my family members getting diagnosed with it so technically I solved a lot of problems all at once.
Panic attacks can be interrupted with a massage gun for me. I’ve got this handled bad boy. I keep a lot of tension between my shoulders in general when I’m stressed about anything, and idk if my body is confused by the sensation or if the release of some of the tension is enough, but it fucking works.
I can seem to sleep through the night anymore 😭 I’ve been waking up between 2am and 4am every other night. I’m doing no screen an hour before bed and yoga to help slow down but it’s been rough. It’s affecting my work days and thinking of going to the dr for it
I kept wondering why I was sleeping better on the couch sometimes and it turns out it was because I only used my eye mask when I slept on the couch because of the porch light, not on normal nights when I slept in my bed. Started using my eye mask all the time, sleep way better now.
I had a migraine issue as well! Mine is from a tannin sensitivity, so I’ve learned that as long as I avoid black tea and red wine, I’m good 👍
I’ve also had a lifelong challenge with coming off very unapproachable. I stopped dressing in head-to-toe black and started wearing glasses. I’m sort of amazed at how much more people are open to talking to me now and get approached by kind strangers often which makes me pretty happy.
Quite a few but key to all of them was stopping drinking. Over 6 years now, thanks r/stopdrinking !
