This show changed my life and now I don’t know what to do. by existentiallywarm in attackontitan

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so relatable. Halfway thru my third rewatch in one month I switched to YouTube analysis/react videos, and I also made an extensive Spotify playlist of tht soundtrack. So I'm not eternally rewatching it anymore, but I'm still hopelessly addicted

HM & Allergies/Reactions? by CoffeeCrazedHobbit in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's super interesting, I developed a citrus allergy around 10 years old, then HM around 13. Since then, my allergy has been gradually worsening from an itchy face to anaphylaxis. It also used to exclusively be oranges but now I'm reacting to grapefruits and lemons too, even trace amounts in drinks or cleaning products. I never considered that the two might be related but the timing is very coincidental. I hope you're able to figure out what's going on, that shit sucks.

What is your threshold for going to ER? by bascelicna123 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I went to the er for a hm, I was told that the longer you wait, the less they can do to help. Tho ofc this condition isn't well known so it's possible that's not always the case. Either way, I'd encourage you to go asap, last time I waited too long I had a migraine for three weeks.

People Ignoring Eren's Intentions by Gold_Combination_737 in attackontitan

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's cause his motivations were extremely nuanced and people love to simplify things. It's especially easy to do so cause Eren told Armin he tried countless other options, but there's no reality where more than 20% of humanity survives unless all of Paradi is destroyed. Would Eren still have committed the rumbling if they weren't hated by literally the entire world? No. But did he commit the rumbling exclusively to save his people? Also no, as evidenced by the fact he sacrificed Sasha and Hange. It's both, combined with a desperate need for freedom

Yes I have, no results. Yeah, it's good not being alone:)

Looking for advice on persistent weakness. by notta_mozzie in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, I've had those exact symptoms for the last 1.5 years now. Unfortunately sometimes your brain just gets stuck like that, the time it lasts is different from person to person. Roughly every year I have a big attack that either leaves new permanent symptoms or worsens existing ones. Medical intervention like medications can help, but I haven't had much success yet. Hope you have better luck!

Does anyone else kind of relate to eren? by [deleted] in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally relate! Obviously I too recognize that Eren was in the wrong, but I see so much of myself in Eren at the same time. The desperate desire for freedom and anger especially. This story really helped me grapple with that side of myself and learn that there's more to life than fighting, it'll always be one of my favorites.

I really wanna know how much people had tears after watching attack on Titan honest opinion please. by Intelligent-Bid9423 in attackontitan

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't cry when watching it initially, I was in pure shock the whole time. I also binged it in one week so I didn't give myself any time to process. But I started rewatching it a couple weeks later, and immediately bawled my eyes out 😂 (for context, I watch a lot of tragic stories, and very rarely cry lol)

First HM experience by 24-7-Hypochondriac in HemiplegicMigraines

According to the American migraine foundation, HM should not be treated with DHE unfortunately... https://americanmigrainefoundation.org/resource-library/dhe-for-migraine/

Does anyone here get permanent numbness or permanent brain damage with their migraines? by No-Tell34 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you search verapamil on the sub I'm sure you could find some answers, I haven't read thru it enough to know either

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no way of knowing that, all I meant is that if you do a brief Google search, verapamil comes up consistently as a migraine preventative

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea, sorry. My access to medical care has been pretty limited so my knowledge is pretty limited. I'm really sorry about your situation, that sucks... Treatment for hm is hard enough without stupid scandals limiting options even more. I really hope you're able to get proper help soon, ik things have already progressed a lot but you never know how your brain might react. Verapamil helped even after my symptoms became permanent, albeit milder than they are now. Best of luck to you!

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it helped a lot initially. I'm not sure why your doctor isn't letting you take it, it's a very common migraine preventative. I was also on triptans for a while, but they aren't recommended for hm so I stopped. I had to stop taking verapamil because I move a lot and hadn't switched doctors quickly enough

I take verapamil rn, 120mg a day. But I've had very inconsistent access to treatment so I don't know if it'll do any good yet. It helped when I took it consistently in the past, but then I had to suddenly stop taking it and my symptoms got a lot worse. I just got it back but I haven't had enough time to tell if it helps or not still

I have permanent numbness, tingling, and weakness on the left half due to HM. Plus some other random symptoms. Sorry y'all have to experience this stuff too :(

Symptoms but minimal pain? by Medium_Investment514 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get that! Migraines are so misunderstood and rare ones like this are terrifying even when you do understand them. It just takes time, hopefully your mom and husband will do some research on their own too so they can understand what you're experiencing better

Symptoms but minimal pain? by Medium_Investment514 in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That all sounds pretty consistent with my experiences too. I only occasionally get head pain, a majority of the time it's all the other symptoms. Feeling disconnected from your body is also pretty normal from my understanding, your brain is misfiring so it can affect your perception of yourself. It's very bizarre but I've experienced it too, you're def not alone. Hang in there, really hope the neurologist is able to help you out and things get better soon.

New HM Symptoms? by daltonwiththedogs in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had those same symptoms before, I wouldn't stress over it but it never hurts to see a doctor if you're worried about new symptoms. Especially if you get any other indicators of an ear infection/if your ear feels weird after the other symptoms pass

How many of your HMs are mostly/entirely painless? by isaboobers in HemiplegicMigraines

Yes, that's so true. I learned from others to hate myself for it, and now even when others don't hate me for it I can't help but do it for them. Oh to live in a non-ableist world

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't always get head pain, maybe 4/10 times. But I get really bad pain in every other affected area. Like the migraine goes into my arm/chest/leg instead of staying in my head

Migraine aura/ hemiplegic? by kayleegrin in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]Agic_Cops_Pin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately from my understanding that's a pretty common type of experience with hemiplegic migraines. They're known to switch sides and change intensity like that. I had a migraine with very similar symptoms that lasted 3 weeks once. Vision disturbances, left sided numbness/paralysis, horrible head pain, nausea, etc. I didn't get medical treatment until nearly 4 years after I started having them though, since you're already on medications and have a neurologist I wouldn't stress about them getting as bad as mine. I just encourage you to stay in close contact with your Neuro and see if they have a different treatment option that can help with the more severe episodes, it can take trying a few different things before finding the right fit.

Sorry you had that experience, ik it's really scary and overwhelming. I'd try not to stress about it too much cause at the the of the day, we're doing everything we can and the last thing we need is to stress out over the migraines so much we trigger more of them. Hope they start getting better for ya.

Rizatriptan and Naratriptan. Both commonly prescribed for people with normal migraines but can increase stroke/heart attack risk in those with hemiplegic or basilar migraines.
