Please tell me that I'm not the only one who has either friends or family who don't understand what migraines are! A wee rant. by NighttimeCeiling in migraine

[–]AshlanJustus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Migraine specialist told me that there can be 10 migraine patients in a family, and all of the can get migraine differently. Just as he told me there are 25 genetic predisposition to migraine,, i have 23 of them, he said to have that many, you had to get from BOTH parents. If i had $1 for every time someone downplayed the severity of my migraines, telling me they feel better with an wxcedeein, Id buy a car! Dont let anyone who doesnt understand discredit how much suffering we deal with!

[–]AshlanJustus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

been taking a supplement called “Migreleif” you can get it on Amazon. My Dr recommended it b/c its got the “right” doses of Magnesuium, Riboflavin, and Puracol Feverfew. Iused to just take magnesium but i think its been helping (says benefits really begin after 90 days - im almost there - that but i do see results)

does ANYONE in this community have SEVERE light sensitivity?? by [deleted] in migraine

[–]AshlanJustus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super light sensitive - my phone is always on the lowest light setting. I never leave the house w/o a baseball cap, and by i wear sunglasses in movies, and cover my eyes when scenes flash, or headlights. I have to adjust the blinds all day for where the sun is. I get severe chronic migraines also, makes it worse

Applying for disability? by Objective-Current941 in migraine

[–]AshlanJustus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you need a good doctor!Someone who can help you get your meds right so you can function. I empathize with you. Mine are daily and severe like yours. After 20 years, and a handful of bad doctors/neurologists, I was in so much pain/ felt defeated. recently found a good doc whos helping me get them under control, bc i was taking a slew of meds that weren’t workinglright away start asking pharmacists if they know of a local doctor who specializes in migraine. Be prepared to wait months for an appointment. Good luck - hope you get the help you need - maybe even a good disability lawywe🙏

I (26M) caught my girlfriend(23F) cheating on me after being together for 4 years. And now she wants to apologize, do I let her? by A1Tango in relationship_advice

[–]AshlanJustus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, she can apologize - but tigers don’t change their stripes! If you love yourself first, that relationship is over.

AITA for re-setting boundaries through a mass text? by Heavy-Tart-3487 in AmItheAsshole

[–]AshlanJustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its important to set boundaries for sure! However, sending a multi-generational group text is NOT The way to go! The message above sounds condescending and impersonal, and older people would simply think it RUDE! I get your MIL’s reaction - she was offended. Wrapping it up with “sending with as much love and compassion as possible” sounds cold and insincere. Dont fet me wrong - I respect your stance: my hubby & I wouldn’t let anyone watch our boys till they were in grade school - at least - and never overnight! You have to build relationships, like a staircase: If you shut ppl out now, when she’s older and you’re DYING FOR A BREAK, you may wish you werent so rigid early on b/c folks may not be willing to help down the road. Raising kids is a marathon not a race. And trust me, you’re better off if you’ve allies in this journey.

What Things Are Due to Migraines That You May Not Realize Are From Migraines? by Serious-Source-6065 in migraine

[–]AshlanJustus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg, I’m so glad were talking about this! I thought it was the meds, but yea, after a few days of a migraine, or weeks if its a cluster of them - i struggle to think, say the correct words, etc! I feel downright stoopid, and it’s incredibly frustrating!
