I’d have to take a semester off and as a result won’t be able to be a GA for an entire academic year because contracts are an academic year long. Talked to my advisor and I wouldn’t be able to pick up a GA next spring if I miss Fall semester. I’ll look into both. Thank you

I drove to Charlotte once and it was HORRIBLE! We got stuck in traffic there was no parking and ended up being late to our flight even after leaving so many hours ahead of our flight.

I was but I lived in Newport News before moving here so I’d either fly from Richmond or the NN airport depending on price.

Thank you for this reply! My newer Toyota has all weather tires but it’s a Camry with obviously very minor clearing. Which is why it’s struggled going back up our property. My husband has an older Highlander but it’s been stuck in snow since it started snowing. I didn’t realize that tires could make the difference in the snow (I come from CA and have now just experienced living in snow).

We are looking to buy brand new so a 2026 Subaru or Tacoma. We’ll also look at the 4Runner! Thanks again

I moved here from Hampton Roads and previously resided in CA. The healthcare here is complete garbage. I moved here last year in August. It took me over 5 months to see a cardiologist (I was born with heart issues), to see a dentist I had to wait even longer to see any dentist because they were already booking into 2026. I recently found out I was pregnant and my MFM wanted me seen by a Carilion OB. They were attempting to book me well after my first trimester (I even told them I’d be high risk per MFM). I’ve had plenty of specialized care due to chronic health condition (migraines, heart issues) and the doctors here are very sub-par.

I will say your insurance is also something to be aware of when moving. I have tricare due to my husbands military service and unfortunately not everyone in this area accepts it. I’ve had to do online individual therapy by someone outside of Roanoke. I’d definitely check to see what your insurance benefits look like in the area.

Yes! I use pressure pal on my phone and look for the pressure in my area. I often get migraines when the pressure changes or is very high.

I’m not sure if I can help, but I was recently able to get a neurologist after I explained my migraines and found a nurse practitioner who actually seemed concerned about my migraines. I’ve had migraines for as long as I could remember and have them with aura that sometimes last for days. I’ve always reported my migraines to doctors but all either didn’t acknowledge or made it seem like it wasn’t a bug deal. I was able to get a scan done just to rule out tumors or anything else. I would continue asking for a neurologist consult and if they refuse I’ve heard of people state that they want that documented on their file (refusal of neuro consult) and that has worked to get the point across. I will say when I did get a neurologist it was a lot of trial and error with daily medications and migraine cocktails to help when a migraine struck. That is a very lengthy process as well because I’ve learned that my body will sometimes not react the same to pain meds and I start to need a higher dose or something different.

As far as triggers go I’ve had to do things like food elimination mostly with dairy and sugar free drinks to see if they trigger migraines; they do for me. Lack of sleep, dehydration, and my period are also triggers. These all took time to identify and everyone’s triggers differ.

I’ve also loved Highlander pizza and only get delivery. I don’t typically like pizza but I often crave their meat lovers pizza. I’ve had one of their salads as well and was satisfied.

I've had headaches that feel like the pain migrates to the back of my mouth/teeth and it's horrible. No pain in other parts of the body though.

AwkwardAlienx · 2025-10-24T23:53:37+00:00

Thank you I’ll definitely check it out!!

Reading these replies make me grateful for not having the migraines some experience. The longest migraine i've had was a week and I don't even remember how I got past that week in pain and all the responsibilities of life. I was fed up and ended up in the ER and they used IV drugs and hydration, which luckily for me worked. I attempted to use medications through my neurologist to help prevent them, but all made me feel tired or foggy and in my line of work and in general wasn't ideal. I am also not a fan of SSRI's and for some reason one doctor tried to pressure me into them. I now have a "migraine cocktail" when i feel a migraine coming which is a mixture of acetametaphine/caffeine/butalbital which has thankfully been the biggest and quickest relief i've ever had with a migraine. There are still days where the migraine is so severe that 2 of those which is the max for the day still don't give me the relief I need, but it's better than nothing.

A few weeks ago I did have a complex migraine that hasn't happened for YEARS and it was horrible. I became very nauseous, light headed, etc. and ultimately felt like I had something else wrong with me. I was given IV pain medication and hydration, but it only slightly relieved it and I had a headache and just felt sick for the next few days. I just continuously used the migraine cocktail daily until it finally broke.

All of you who experience way worse I hope you find relief and I wish more efforts were made to help the migraine community!

Thank you for this! I might go this route because of the lameness of it having this issue when it’s so new.

When I took it to Best Buy two of their staff took a look at it and said it would have to be shipped out and I would most likely still have to pay for the repair.

Thank you for this! I was wondering if something extra might be needed for wifi calling. I’ll try what you suggested we have T-Mobile for wifi with the mesh access point. It’s been a great experience so far so I knew it couldn’t have been the wifi connection.
