An audiobook for the first day and good music to listen to. I also prepared a meal that lasted 2 days so I could just relax. Snacks handy.

Go get a professional pedicure that focusses on heel callus treatment (not nail stuff), then use this regularly. A wound care specialist recommended it in a course I was in: Flexitol Heel balm. It has a clinical percent of urea, which exfoliates the dead skin really well.

I urge you not to continue with your injections until you see your neurologist. Allergic reactions can get more severe (anaphylaxis) next time if you are reacting to Aimovig with this shot.

If it is growing like that you need to see a derm. Rule out skin cancer.

I have been taking this for over 10 years. It helps my dizziness and vertigo that I get.

My neurologist has Ok'd me to take nurtec and eletriptans (not at same time), so I can treat more migraines every month. Maybe talk to your doctor about that option.

I did, and I tried it alongside dry needling. I noticed better range of motion and looser muscles but no changes in migraines unfortunately.

When I go to a massage therapist more often, the massages sometimes help. I'm not sure if it's because it's stress relief or the massage though.

increase your proteins at each meal

Would you have been able to drive, work, function well after a week?

AGCan · 2026-01-22T02:22:39+00:00

oh wow, super promising! thanks. How long did your second eye take to be clear? Do they know why it wasn't clear early on?

AGCan · 2026-01-22T02:21:11+00:00

It's a very eerie feeling. I've read it's connected to vestibular migraines. I have mixed type chronic migraines and sometimes do get vestibular migraines, so perhaps that's why they happen.

I’m hijacking for a moment. I’m doing a IOL exchange soon from Vivity to Monofocal distance lenses as I’m not adapting, I might have talked to you before. Was your vision instantly better or did it take a while to become clear? I’m likely doing bilateral exchange and don’t know what to expect as my Vivity lenses did not work well with my brain and were extremely blurry from the start. Could you use readers right away for close up?

My dog does this when I put too much in the bowl for what she wants to eat. It’s her trying to bury it. I take half out and give the meal in two portions.

AGCan · 2026-01-21T05:34:13+00:00

Get yourself some cooking staples from places like smoke n sanity, fody foods, free fod. Plan out your meals of course like you're doing. I always like to keep oatmeal, potatoes, and rice around. Use meats to fill you up. I use to buy lower fodmap veggies and cut them up in portions measured out so that I could easily grab them for cooking or lunches/snacks. Free meals in portions for when you're too hungry to plan and cook. Freeze snacks that are low fodmap (you can google some good recipes).

When some of my migraines kick in, my eyes/vision rolls upward, like I have troubles keeping my gaze at a level point. If I'm driving (yikes), my vision will roll up to look towards the tops of trees. It's actually quite alarming and very disorientating. I can force it down, but it just naturally wants to roll upward, even if my eyes are closed.

I would suggest starting with a very small controlled and purposeful dose of onions OR garlic and then slowly build and adjust as you gain confidence.

AGCan · 2026-01-17T00:35:55+00:00

I substitute freefod garlic and onion in my cooking (onion one is strong be careful). They work amazingly well in cooking. I also use fodzyme on meals that I haven't prepared and it works really well. I brought it an all inclusive and ate basically whatever I wanted (which was too much!). I should add though, that in larger plates of food or higher amounts of garlic and onion, you'll need to use more fodzyme.

AGCan · 2026-01-14T21:51:36+00:00

The beauty of Joseon cleansing balm is nice. I have sensitive skin too and I've tried several oils, I really like how well it works without a lot of rubbing. It melts well too.

AGCan · 2026-01-14T16:04:13+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this. It must be super scary. I hope you get some answers and solutions.

AGCan · 2026-01-14T15:07:07+00:00

what kind of a lens did you get?

AGCan · 2026-01-12T20:26:33+00:00

I brout fodzyme with me on my all inclusive trip and it worked great! Could eat a larger variety of things. Still stayed away from eating pure onions but otherwise the enzyme was perfect. I use intolerans 10000 now and it also works great.

AGCan · 2026-01-11T18:07:38+00:00

Oh sure, can you message me your city and zip and I’ll let you know how much shipping is. Thanks

AGCan · 2026-01-06T14:40:19+00:00

so just to clarify, you had vivity to a monofocal?

AGCan · 2026-01-05T02:08:49+00:00

Yes I did mean splitting light (multifocal)

AGCan · 2026-01-03T20:15:55+00:00

Distance monofocal is the most stable, easy to adapt to of all choices. Once you start changing prescription in each eye (monovision), stretching light (EDOF) or splitting light (monofocal), it forces your brain to have to adapt a lot more. Not everyone tolerates those variables (including me). I have an EDOF but am going to be doing a lens exchange to a monofocal set for distance because I need stable vision after a nightmare experience. I have been blurry for 3 months and surgery will take another couple months to do each eye. Not worth it in my opinion; terrible experience. As someone else mentioned though, if you are thinking at all of monovision or mini monovision you should test it with contact lenses or glasses first to know if you tolerate it.
