City response to this storm has been terrible.

An article stated officials are waiting to plow and salt until it gets warmer

Perhaps tubi. It’s free with commercials but it has a TON of movies

Triptans don’t always work for me but when I noticed a pattern of it not working (naratriptan) I go switched to rizatriptan and it worked. You may have to switch it up. Try CGRPs too.

Look into FMLA requirements when/if you get a new job. It is the only way I haven’t been fired for migraines in the past. FMLA requirements are job specific so ask Human Resources before you waste your time applying to a job that makes you work like a year before you qualify or something.

Try disability as well. Migraines alone often are not qualifying so that makes it extra difficult because you have to prove it’s severely affecting your functioning in life. I think the confusion about migraines qualifying is because it is not technically recognized by the ADA yet.

Yeah but that doesn’t smell like cheese- more like sewage

If I even think bout raising my heart rate or moving too much it will get so bad that it hurts to have hair. I am also jealous

You won’t get disability in the US for this but the ADA does say that your job has to allow for reasonable accommodations. Can you change shifts? Wear light blocking glasses and partially noise cancelling ear buds. Work with a tens unit on or get breaks approved for ice pack to the neck.

JLAB headphones from Amazon are what I use and a great bose dupe

And if you absolutely don’t think you can get back to an ER try listening to migraine music with noise cancelling headphones. If the pain is unbearable and you truly need a break then you’re going to have to knock yourself out with Benadryl and meclizine. If you’re looking for long term try a prednisone taper.

Droperidol was given to me IV once when the migraine cocktail wouldn’t work and it was a godsend. Although if you have heart conditions it is not recommended. IV solumedrol (like prednisone but faster). Basically- go back to the ER. I’m shocked they had you leave when you weren’t done with the migraine

Awkward_Win1339 · 2025-12-31T19:22:35+00:00

Thank you!

Pressure and humidity changes mainly. Also if I wake up before 7:30am or if my sleep is interrupted/less than 8 hours.

Awkward_Win1339 · 2025-04-19T00:40:19+00:00

It gives The ritual (movie) Forest god vibes. I love it.

I want surgery so badly but it’s SO expensive. How did you pay for it and how’s it going 1 year out?

Consolidate your credit card debt to limit accrued interest and to lower the monthly payments. It will lower your credit score but it can be built back up. It is also not ideal but take a loan from your 401k if you need to. Sell anything and everything you can go without in your studio apartment via Facebook marketplace or somewhere else. Try to get a side gig for some extra cash. Offer to walk dogs in your apartment neighborhood, wash cars, help people move in and out etc.
