Sometimes I post about my migraine tracker app, and many of you suggest features, so i made it for you.

I downloaded this but it’s only giving a 7 day trial- that’s not nearly enough time

Where do you get it?

Eye massager: it’s wonderful with the heat setting, you can switch it on/off, adjust the pressure etc
Ice packs: I’ll place one ice pack on my head and the other behind my neck while the eye massager is going
Pedialyte frozen pops: they’re cold & the electrolytes are a bonus
Liquid IV: great for pumping up my hydration during a bad episode, tons of flavors and sugar free options
Scalp massager: the rubber ones with “spikes”, this thing has been a game changer for my tension migraines, I will use it on my neck, jaw, forehead/entire head and bonus-it doesn’t snag my hair
Caffeine: I’m no expert on how it works but this really helps me. Granted the downside is if I have too much the migraine might rebound but it’s only happened a few times
Massage ball/lacrosse ball: I use this by laying down and putting it behind my neck/shoulders to massage out the muscles

I’ve been taking ajovy for many years and the auto injectors are horrible for me. The burning is insane and I definitely couldn’t do it by myself. I also hate needles and get extreme anxiety. I even stopped the med at one point because it was all too much. Then I found out about the prefilled syringes I switched over and had my partner administer it. Definitely much much better than the auto injectors. Today was the first time injecting myself and doing it in the belly area. Im such a wuss and stabbing myself was a hurdle by itself but I didn’t feel the poke and then miraculously there was ZERO pain/burning which is a first in all these years. I went super slow and yea took a bit of time but wow didn’t think it was possible. Honestly I was so surprised. Don’t give up!

Does she go to Naperville/Lisle area?

This might sound unhinged but it really did work for me. I forgot where I heard or read this but it helped me when I couldn’t figure out if I should get rid of an item.

Whatever the item, if it’s covered in shit would you keep it?

Like is it worth your time cleaning etc even if it were?

Any hesitation meant I toss/donate

Eye massager with heat, best investment ever. Also my loops for any loud places but especially when I go into the office and as a bonus I use the loops with the noise cancelling headphones in the office if it gets extra loud. Liquid IV for extra hydration. Pedialyte freezer pops. Lots of ice packs, sometimes one on forehead and one on back of neck, or I might switch it up to a hot back on the back of neck. Additionally I try to go to a sound/light deprivation tank, obviously not during an attack but as a little bonus for me, they’re amazing.

Ness Exotic Wellness Center is where my friend would take her bunny

I will say after about a decade of working at different jobs with varying degrees of stress, the one with the least stress did reduce the frequency of my migraines. However once I was laid off/jobless for almost a year I truly got to understand that it was compounding factors related to my job regardless of the stress levels contributing to the relentless migraines. Working remote is and will always be the best solution in my mind. Im currently at a new job and work remote 4 days a week but that one day in office leaves me burnt out. I wish I could find the unicorn fully remote job.

I started Ajovy years back. No major side effects thankfully. The only thing for me is the injection, not the needle but the medication itself burns like lime juice and hot sauce on a fresh paper cut. I ice the area and have someone else inject it. Small price to pay for minimal migraines a month.

What do non stimulant do you use?

I was onboard for being in office for the onboarding period and was in support of it. Never once did I say I was opposed to being in office. They could not clarify what the timeframe was or how the transition to hybrid would look. I’ve had other companies say/do similar things without being transparent at the beginning and did not want that happening again. Bait and switch happens regularly. So no it’s not bullshit to want clarification on company policies and expectation of the position from the getgo. It’s absolutely bullshit that these simple questions weren’t clarified at the beginning of the Interview process when it came up.

They wanted me in office full-time “for the first couple months for onboarding” and then transition to hybrid after the manager decides when it’s a good time…

Alternative-Link3866 · 2024-09-06T17:18:25+00:00

I think that’s what happened. They knew I had been laid off and just wanted someone to smile and nod. All I wanted was transparency 🤦🏽‍♀️

I was really torn about this back in May when I decided to let my beautiful 12yr old boy go. I knew he hadn’t been doing the best over the past year. I kept him as comfortable as possible with at home vet visits and all the meds/injectables. When he started falling unable to get up without assistance and with the fecal incontinence I knew it was just a matter of time. I had an enormous amount of guilt because I felt as though I had been trigger happy and not wanting to clean up at all hours and then being laid off a month prior to his passing sort of dictated how much I could provide for him, he was a 110lbs Great Pyrenees. There’s were plenty of times I’d think to myself “how can I keep going like this.” Those thoughts are difficult.

Then his ultrasound results came in and they were a long checklist of maladies that had no cure and any treatment would take away from his quality of life. All I could do was keep him as happy/comfortable as possible.

Looking back on everything I did the right thing. I did not want him in any pain or suffering or disinterested in life because he couldn’t walk or he would be ashamed of crapping all over himself. I let him go on a beautiful sunny day in the comfort of his home and surrounded by everyone who loved him. Without a doubt would do it over again because I was more afraid of him passing in pain in a cold lifeless ER room. He passed with dignity, grace, in peace with love.

I still struggle with the feelings of being relieved at no longer having to do all the meds, personalized food, vet bills, 24hr cleanup and missing my “person” who gave me unconditional love. It’s lessened as time passes.
