[@brunildagautier9309]

You are such an inspiration!!! Thank you so much for making your videos educational, realistic, and exciting!!

[@paulkenny267]

Send yourself some love, Taylor! You are amszing😀

[@oldwagon-pens]

I am so glad your day turned around. I could tell you were hurting. You made a good day out of it.

[@stacys62]

Thanks for showing the lousy days as well as the amazing ones. I’m enjoying your hike!

[@qsbroom]

Sorry you had a rough night and morning but say glad you made a pretty quick recovery...I am sure you had all kind of thoughts run through your head about how long you would be sick and etc...just glad you are okay know! Audie Murphy...a real hero! Probably the most decorated soldier ever..very very brave man...

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

I am so glad you felt better. Thank you for sharing

[@vickifg13]

So sorry you had a bad headache and start to your day. But you turned it around into a very good day. Stay safe and Happy Hiking ⛺️🥾💞

[@pamelamikel7967]

So glad u perked up. Amazing views. Thanks. Go Taylor!!

[@deborahhendricks1492]

I also suffer from migraines which have made me throw up at times. My doctor prescribed Imitrex for me (years ago) and that changed my life! I think there are better meds now for migraines, but the Imitrex still works for me. Migraine is usually gone within 30 minutes.

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

Awesome!!! Fresh Ground FRESHLY ROCKS🙌🙌🙌🙌💃💃💃🎉🎉🎉

[@RonsWorld5]

It's so beautiful out there. The things that our bodies can do!

[@cathymitchell7369]

My husband used to get migraines that would cause vomiting - a big culprit was MSG (monosodium glutamate) which is in many prepared foods including crackers, some kethchups, prepared soups, all kinds of hidden places. Check very label of everything you eat and maybe eliminating MSG from your diet will help. He used to go teach school with a migraine :(

[@codyhikes4054]

Bless your heart!

[@Lovesracing19]

Sorry you felt bad this morning. Glad your feeling better. Looks like you had a good hike after all. I'm sure it was nice to have the trail magic. Safe travels.

[@dannythecamper4186]

Good video on a sick day 😢, with some good views with some deers 😂 so let's keep on hiking. 😊

[@stephenkenny7661]

DRINK LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER!!!

[@marcdavis2241]

Peace be with you!!! Heal quickly!

[@randywineke5416]

Glad you are feeling better. Bret trail magic. Still heading North. Stay Safe and HIKE ON!!!

[@isabellakathleen3533]

I appreciate that you take the time to post the day on trail, date, location at beginning and end of day, mile markers for the day, total miles traveled in that day. Thanks for taking us along in your travels!

[@katd1586]

Sorry to hear about your migraine! As someone who suffers from them too, you might want to look into migraine medications that should give you relief. The one I use dissolves in your mouth and works in like 30 minutes...it's a god send! You're a trooper for continuing to hike!!

[@stevehaynes2151]

Does your doc give you them regular or do you have to request them when you have a a migraine? My doc won't give me one unless I've got a migraine and it's so hard to order one when you can barely string a sentence together 🤣

[@candywalters8388]

I’m so sorry that you have migraines Taylor. As a fellow sufferer I know that horrible pain. Glad you are better.

[@ffstopP]

So sorry you were ill. You are one intrepid gal! As usual, your video was thoughtfully recorded and well edited. You're telling a great story. Walk on.

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Audey Murphy was one of my fav actors when I was a kid. He was just so handsome and always played the nice guy. He was also a famous soldier but I didn’t realize he died off the AT. He died pretty young. You can find his old movies on you tube. Good for you hiking 21 miles after a sleepless night of a migraine. You are a trooper and an inspiration to push through difficult things while taking care of yourself at the same time

[@doredootz5088]

Such a champ! Migraines are no fun and yet you found the energy/motivation to vlog and get to hiking. Happy trails.

[@aliencirkus192]

If Taylor woke up with a headache I’d carry her 25 miles to her hostel. She is a princess

[@doredootz5088]

There is no “if” about it. Taylor did wake up with a “headache” as you mildly put it. IF one reads (the title), listens (to the audio) and watches (the images) one understands that this “princess” is indeed her own “champ” and Taylor can indeed hike her own hike.

[@rickhaddix6847]

Glad you feel better Taylor.

[@1024Pete]

Sorry you were bummed. Well deserved monument for Audie Murphy! As a veteran, thanks for paying respect! Be well! Happy Trails!

[@hdbinnc8583]

Great recovery! Glad you did so well with the migraine. They are a real nuisance. You're doing great! Keep charging!

[@bigbranch1]

So glad you are feeling better.....great videio......Good Luck!

[@debsmith7050]

Persistence gets you there! Glad you are feeling better; hope it continued

[@garylindenmuth7468]

Looking better, be well

[@judytombaugh2990]

Glad your day got better and hope you got your tent set up without getting too wet.

[@jimhumphrey]

I have always thought that exercise is good for headaches. I'm happy you got to feeling better.

[@sherrylaponsee7782]

Take care of yourself!!!! ❤

[@neal1266]

Hey taylor...yeah headaches suck for sure..i live with constant tension ones daily for years related to my anxiety problem n can't even find any help or much relief...do what u need to do to get some relief. Luv your vids.

[@robertcamara7300]

An absolute rock star even when you are not feeling well!

[@trainboy45]

I get serious migraines as well occasionally, especially when out backpacking (my last backpacking trip on last summer on the Long Trail I had two in one day: one when was getting up in the morning and one that night). So I feel your pain. But to get going after one and knock out 21 miles, that pretty awesome! Keep on killing it and hopefully the bad migraines will be few and far in between!

[@chriswhittington294]

You pushed through like a champ! Enjoying this hike so much! Hike on. ❤

[@mikepate6404]

Great resiliency I’ve got those migraines for years and I have found you may as well just keep going they don’t get any better laying around anyway and seem to recover faster if you do just fight through them. thanks for the videos.

[@magicmysticalmycology]

Please stay safe 💞

[@david.conley]

Way to push through the pain!! ONWARD!!!!!

[@fretlessed25]

Whenever I read about Audie Murphy I always think he was both brave and lucky, as there were many soldiers we never heard about because at some point they didn't make it while fighting somewhere and never got recognized for their cumulative actions.

[@martinmoss317]

I feel your pain, I get a lot of headaches/migraines. I just want a dark place and to be alone. It's one of my worries about through hiking. unlike a broken leg no-one can see how much discomfort that you are in. I'm glad that you recovered enough to enjoy the rest of your day!

[@jocelyn5196]

Yeah as soon as she said migraine I cringed at the idea of not being able to go somewhere dark

[@morgaynelove9327]

Greetings from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state! Sending blessings for your continued trail journey! 💛💛💛

[@ALORDW]

That sun shirt is just the cutest with your shorts ( not that fashion is part of hiking)! You are a champ because when I got migraines the only place I went was to bed and the freezer (ice for the eyes)! So admire your strength!

[@tommybewick]

Omg! That was fresh ground!!! The man, the myth, the legend!

[@shereewaddell3417]

Happy trails

[@lauriehepinstall2636]

Asks for sharing the Audie Murphy memorial. Most decorated World war 2 soldier. Very interesting man

[@mctaguer]

Hope you feel better and can avoid more migraines, Taylor.

[@lisapellitier2450]

Feel better

[@lampyridae3280]

1:35 That is a beautiful White Oak.

You’re the best! You got this.

[@jakeloa6183]

have a great day also

[@kerrir1955]

Glad you’re feeling better! Hike on!

Hope you feel better.

[@leedanielson7452]

Glad you are feeling better kiddo! You are a BEAST!!!❤️👍🙏🏻🏔️🐐⛰️⛺️

[@jamied.2734]

Migraines....Been there and wouldn't wish that on anyone. Hope things improve stay safe..

[@johnsandell4501]

Great recovery, congratulations!

[@TrailoFire]

Seasonal headache probably. I had same issue and woke up with a sinus headache. Strong coffee and ibuprofen works for me.

[@llw8089]

I’m glad you were able to push through the Migraine .

[@maureenmukhlis2934]

So sorry you were so sick! I hope you’re feeling better now! 🙏💗

[@janetbronner6403]

Poor you, you had to go through that. But I am glad you are feeling better now. Please be careful out there, you don't want to catch norovirus but you had been staying away from the bubble so far which is good. Take it easy, Taylor. 😊

[@AlexanderAdventures817]

What an adventure so far. Hope you start feeling better = )

[@db.mc2]

Hang in there Taylor, migraines are the worst, I get them too 😖 stay safe and take care my friend 🙏 Fresh ground 👊👍👋

[@davidkeith7087]

Good for you to fight thru that! Nice job 😇

[@Heath.Hikes.]

I’ve heard a few other AT hikers have come down with norovirus on the trail.

[@drewhensarling1121]

These fronts passing through can wreak havoc on you. Stay strong!

[@donnat8490]

Hope you’re feeling better! Been enjoying watching your updates an following your journey. I live close to the AT in NJ at the DE water gap. Would be great to extend some quality trail magic if you’re up for a meal and transportation anywhere.

[@WMartinWelch]

When I was your age I would become so nauseous from migraines that I would vomit until I passed out and then wake up to an incredible migraine. Eventually that went away and I would have the occasional ocular migraines with a little spaciness but not much pain. I hope your migraines subside as time passes. You recovered quickly from this one and covered a bunch of miles. So cool.

[@dougg2729]

Aspirin at first indication works perfect for my migraines.

[@sheilaturner5127]

Hope you’re feeling better!

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

Glad your glad got better after the migraine 🌻👣

[@gregbeem9428]

So glad you got better as fast as you did. Ramdino says norovirus has hit the AT. Stay safe.

[@RickINFJ]

Nice recovery! Migraines are horrendous. Rest well ✌️

[@sheilasunshine9173]

Loved those little wildlife shots at the end!

[@cjpolett2055]

As a fellow migraine sufferer, proud of you for pushing through, but I'd also urge caution. Nothing sucks as much as suffering through one so far from relief. Keffer oak is one of my favorites. See you up trail 👍

[@dbusch09]

Good morning Taylor. If you go from feeling bad to feeling good it is a 180 not 360. Love the channel and keep up the good work.

[@sheilasunshine9173]

In this case she means her body did a complete turn around so it is correct! 😉

[@dbusch09]

@@sheilasunshine9173 If you did a 360 you would be in the same place you started. 🙃

[@mdbdoc]

who cares?

[@dr.mommybudgets3127]

Sorry you felt bad last night but I’m so glad you’re feeling better.

[@TXMEDRGR]

Thank you for showing the Audie Murphy memorial, he was one of America's greatest soldiers. I hope that any viewers who are not familiar with who he is will research his heroism in World War II.

[@elmerbitzer9819]

When you get to pine Grove state park( ice cream challenge ) I can take you to resupply etc.

[@bmwman63]

Sorry you didn't feel well this morning. Though, glad your sticktoidness saw you through it. I know the heroics of Audie Murphy but I never knew how he met his end. Thanks for making the video Taylor.

[@Victory1981]

Pedialyte is good for hydration when you’re sick. And it’s easier on your stomach. It’s good for hydration period. Adults can drink it, too.

[@frolege1]

Do you fear getting the Norovirus? It sounds terrible.

[@bigskyplanet]

Try not to take excedrin on an empty stomach !!! I use excedrin all the time for my migraines and it really works but I take 1/2 tab… the caffeine will give you energy and reduce the pain … takes double the will power to get going but you did great 🎸🎸🎸🎸 nice job !!! Fun being on your trip with you …. Still waiting where I live for the snow to melt before I can get backpacking so it’s fun to see someone out enjoying nature and a good trek !!!! All the best !!!!🎉

[@mhe8545]

Oh noooo. Migraines are terrible. Watch out for Norovirus!

[@johnnyringo3171]

Migraines are bad anytime, but are the worst while on the trail. Kudos to you for persevering!

[@bradwilliams7198]

I remember a video where you played the AT edition of GeoGuessr, and got stumped by the Audie Murphy monument. I predict now that you've seen it up close that will never happen again!

[@TaylortheNahamshaHiker]

I thought that!

[@rasmusklitgaard3648]

Taylor overcomes!

[@Pay-the-Piper]

Audible book to check out: "Where's the next shelter" by Gary Sizer from Asheville NC, he also is the narrators and has a dry sense of humor for his AT adventures.

[@tonysmith5924]

Water water water!

[@rogerwarr4673]

As a fellow migraine sufferer I feel your pain. You are one strong willed Lady. Thanks for more great content!

[@tophatbanjo]

Ugh! I've never had a migraine, but my wife used to get them, and she was totally incapacitated when she would have one. I'm glad you ended up feeling better :)

[@papadawg3172]

I sat on that bench waiting for the bus. It never came.

[@FTW86itall]

I feel ya. I live in fear of those things. I've had about 20 and they paralyze me. Hang in there it's going so good. Imo. Lol.

[@christopherwiebke3578]

Sorry. Those headaches are rough.

[@stevehaynes2151]

Hey do you ever try and figure out what caused your migraines? I have terrible ones close to strokes that can last upto five day 😅 But whenever I do, I see what I had to eat or smelt something new :) if you get them on the trails alot, could be smelling a certain herb or one of your neighbors foods at camp :)

[@marilynm5024]

Take care of yourself. Migraines are so painful.

[@marc31415]

its rare but sometimes people get a stroke coinciding with a migraine. i ususally get migrans when i eat too much salty foods. also, if its summer and im in heat for a prolonged period and i move to a colder area i will get headaches. also , if im dehydrated it think it makes it worse

[@davem4193]

I feel your pain Taylor. I have been a chronic migraine sufferer for years. 8 years ago I switched to a keto diet and it helped my migraines significantly. A little over a year ago I switched to the carnivore diet (zero carb) and have not had a migraine since! Sugar and carbohydrates appear to have a significant impact on migraines (it did with me anyway). As an added bonus my hiking performance improved significantly when I went to the carnivore diet. I can hike all day without eating anything and still feel great, it's amazing how much better you feel without sugar and carbs.

[@John572d4]

Could it have been noro instead? Mebbe, and a quick recovery from it.

[@turragorman59]

Taylor watch the sunlight too. Wear sunglasses so as not to trigger another migraine.

[@valane178]

Migraines are the worst. Hope you feel better
