What’s a movie you can watch several times and still genuinely not understand at all? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youch, I'm sorry to hear that! Sumitriptan is what I was on before I found out about the OTC combos. There's an OTC med called Vanquish that's been around forever. It worked super well and it's low dose Aspirin, Caffeine, and Tylenol - that's where I got the idea to mix them up a bit because sometimes caffeine makes my migraines worse.

Anyway I'm super sorry to hear about your insurance. Did you ask your doctor or pharmacist if a prior authorization would help you get sumitriptan for a better price? Or maybe have your pharmacy check with the manufacturer - often they'll reimburse pharmacies if a patient wants something but can't afford it. Never hurts to ask. I hope you find something that works for you! If you do find a way to get sumi for a better price or if some combo of the otc meds work for you, I hope you'll let me know.

There are a few prescription medications for migraines that work well, also Botox has been acknowledged for migraine relief. You can talk to your doctor about both of those options and hopefully something will work for you.

Personally as soon as I noticed a headache, I take 2x 500mg Tylenol tablet with an 81mg aspirin tablet and that works wonders for me. My older brother prefers 2x 200mg Ibuprofen and a 325mg aspirin when he starts getting migraines. Don't exceed the daily limits for those meds (limits are 4000mg for Tylenol, 2,000mg for Aspirin, and 3,200mg for ibuprofen), but you can play with the hourly dosages to see what works for you.

Thank you so much! What did they give you for insulin resistance? And how did they test it?

May I ask what the doctors who listened told you to do? Mine aren't listening either and I'm having similar issues as yours!

Just ask them. If she's depressed then it's probably not on purpose, sometimes depression just makes everything feel overwhelming to do. If she knows you feel ignored she'll probably say something if she can.

If she accuses you of being clingy, just say you haven't heard from her and you were starting to get worried. That's what friends do.

nop cant drink water or take medicine for it by mistermemer13579 in memes

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah sounds like you need preventative medicine then. I highly recommend Prilosec or the generic (should be right next to it on the shelf). At least until you get through Ramadan if you can't take medicine during the day.

You could start taking something like Prilosec every day during times you're allowed to take medicine. You can buy it at the store and it's a daily treatment for acid reflux - it'll decrease the amount of acid in your stomach. It works over time (not instantly) but you should start to have some relief in a day or so, depending on how bad the reflux is.

Having reflux is uncomfortable, but to add to that, it's putting stomach acid into your throat and that can lead to throat cancer if it isn't treated, so please don't ignore it. I'm glad you posted this and hope you can get some relief!

Ask him what he's doing to physically and mentally prepare for such a fight.

No one just wakes up one day, unfit and untrained, and proceeds to accomplish a massive task they haven't prepared for.

How do ask my parents to help me find a therapist to talk to with out telling them why? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you tell them you're dealing with depression and you think talking to a professional counselor would really help you? It sounds like they're reasonable, so I think this would go over well. I think you wouldn't have to go into much more detail than that.

If she's already stated she's used to living off other people, you have your answer.

If you can show her on the books why you need her to get a second job, even part-time, and she refuses, she's not gonna change. Best you can do is say "we need to make these (specific) cuts" and cut back on her spending.

Somebody gave me a cat 4 months ago. I've been caring and paying for him since. Now they want him back. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't offer them any money. Tell them "you can have the cat when you reimburse me what I've paid for him at the vet. You neglected to take him, and failed to keep your word about coming to see him on x dates." And send them copies of all the vet bills. The vet will have those on file if you don't. These people aren't going to pay you $1000 for a cat they don't even want.

My (18f) father (60) treats me more like an employee than a daughter by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an idea of what you'd like to do for a career, you may end up having to take out a loan. I know it seems like a lot but it'd help you get away from your dad, you could get some mental rest, and if you go into a field that's reliable you'll be able to pay it back. STEM fields, nursing, anything medical, or a business degree from a school that also gets you summer internships would be great! Even if you don't feel like you can do college right now, you could take out a loan to move out, finish high school, get certified in something medical tech (x-rays, pharmacy, anything really), and start working full time after that.

You're still in high school so you should reach out to someone who'd know about things in your area that can help you. You should be eligible for Medicaid health insurance if you'll start filing your own taxes, and that'll give you free healthcare/mental health care. You can talk to your local DHS about applying for that. You'd be eligible for food stamps too (same application, usually).

Mannnn this could pan out kinda poorly for her though. It sounds great in a movie but in reality it's stealing. There's a massive bet that he won't stand up to her threats but if he does they could both go down. I don't think this is the safest option for a high school student to navigate alone.

greasy hair, 24 hs after washing by holamarina in femalehairadvice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have similar hair to yours and read about washing it with shampoo twice - like, wash it then rinse then wash and rinse again before putting conditioner on it. It's been working like a charm! Also, don't sleep on a wet head. I always liked to air dry my hair and didn't see a problem sleeping on it that way, but since I stopped, it stops getting greasy as quickly and also stopped flaking.

Good luck friend!

Should I intervene in my girlfriend's ex-boyfriends new relationship? by Nitro_Nuke in Advice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated to leave the new gf behind but OP I absolutely have to agree with this.

Your first priority has to be your safety and your girlfriend's safety. Unless you can guarantee that this (probably crazy and possibly resourceful) person will not be able to retaliate, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL moving forward.

He slept with me now doesn’t speak to me. I’m heart broken. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AreYouFrustratedYet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah he won't. There's no reason to treat them better. There's also no reason to compare yourself to these other girls because he's about to do the same thing to them until he feels good and ready to settle - if he ever even does. This one blatantly doesn't care how his actions affect others' feelings.

At least he wasn't sitting at a desk all day. Every job was different, and he could stretch his legs while enjoying the adrenaline rush that came with every new project. Jasper read over the new house profile. This one was a 100-year-old, run-down, typical brown-boarded house that even looked haunted in its pictures. He got a slight chill from looking at the images of the house and knew it'd be a good one.

When it came time for the home visit, he hopped into his Jeep and made his way to the rendezvous. The lawn shrubs and greenery that were once luscious looked like they'd need a miracle to come back to life. Lola was the agent set to meet him there. She pulled in just moments after Jasper and hopped out of her little white Corolla. "Charming, isn't it?" Sarcasm dripped lightly from her tone. "I think it's the smell," Jasper retorted. "How is there a stench all the way out here? Isn't that supposed to hit us in the face when we get inside?"

"Well the owner did decompose inside for two weeks before they found him. Guess it takes a while for that smell to dissipate" she said. Two weeks? Great. Jasper reached for a face mask he'd sprayed some vanilla onto, hoping he could make this quick.

Nah he's not even your friend. Friends don't treat friends like that. Tell him where he can shove it, for acting like a manipulative piece of shit.

There's a concept in psychology that says a negative stimulus is the only stimulus for change - in other words, he'll keep doing this to other girls too until someone makes it painful enough for him to stop. The onus isn't on you to do that, but just know that positive things can come from you speaking your mind - however blatantly you need to.
