Hi all, I get these weird headaches/?migraines that are left sided over my scalp but seem to start from my neck. They are awful and i feel like i can barely hold my head up and my neck/face/jaw muscles on the left become really tender. I got one of these headaches today and (in addition to a shit tonne of aspirin) a friend massaged my neck HARD and it seemed to make it better. Is there anywhere in Newcastle you'd recommend for massage for something like this? Has anyone else experienced anything like this and has other recommendations?

Hi all, I’m a physician AT and I’m really struggling to juggle all my hats. I manage an inpatient load, consults load, and I teach at the uni 1.5 days a fortnight which requires me to do a bit (sometimes a fair bit 🤣) of study beforehand to brush up my knowledge. I organise BPT practise case days once a week, I’m doing my research project, and have audits to do for my department. I also have other department contributions like regular journal club, case presentations, M&M and grand rounds, and then college requirements. I am really struggling to make time to do these things and end up doing a shit job of at least one of them a week. Some of these are only every few months but take up time preparing. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, I love my job, but I’m just exhausted all the time and I think the main thing I really really struggle with is the constant task switching 50,000 times per day. How do others manage this?
