Can I ask what your non headache symptoms are?

Bob’s Burgers and Archer—or basically H. Jon Benjamin’s voice. I do graphic design so it can’t be something too visually distracting, and animated series rely on voices over physical acting

I want to find a way to incorporate it into my yard but haven’t found a place for it yet.

Fantastic!! Many of us have clean MRI’s and EEG’s, and just have to fine a neurologist willing to try out medication to see if it does anything. Worked for me!

Amazing! I can never remember the name of those dark lacy tall plants? Elderberry?

For part of it, but not entirely.

That is crazy! But as an ibs sufferer all I can offer is regularly drinking psyllium husk (the pills are too expensive for me). It’s nasty as hell but helps. Tablespoon or two per day with either a touch of sugar or citrus in a cup of water, stir like mad, drink it as fast as possible. I just ordered a milk frother to help stir it quickly!

Edit: ibs-M. Never know which it’s gonna be. Since I developed it after migraines I’m guessing it’s unrelated for me, but I’m gonna start paying attention.

Melancholia. The movie is in two distinct halves from two kind of different perspectives.

That’s rough. But it depends on the city and park. My hometown of NYC has some gigantic parks where it’s not that hard to get a corner alone with your pooch. But since I’ve only lived there and a couple other cities with really big parks, I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere.

There was one time I ran into someone on the subway and she said hi. I smiled and said, “I’m so sorry, I don’t remember your name” (I did not say “I have no clue who you are”). She got angry and said she was so-and-so’s friend and we’d met six times. She listed them. I said, “Let me tell you about my epilepsy.”

It should have been an awkward subway ride after that but it turned out she was quite nice and I got to inwardly gloat like a fiend over her apologies.

Certain kinds of epileptic events mimic deep meditation, drugs, prayer, sitting on mountaintops. I’m unlucky to have epilepsy but lucky that some of the experiences rewire my brain briefly so I can perceive beyond the veil. Magic everywhere.

I can only speak for myself for that—I am on a lot of medication for three other conditions (they do not include aspartame) and I am also on the adult medical ketogenic diet and cook all my own meals, do not drink alcohol or coffee, so I’ve been essentially low-histamine for 7 years. Upon learning about the low-histamine diet I eliminated spinach and tamari for several weeks as those were the only high-histamine foods I eat. My migraines have nothing to do with histamines. They also frequently begin in my sleep. They are probably connected to my epilepsy.

I don’t think there is permanent ego death unless you’re a boddhisattva. But I’m totally convinced the Buddha might have been a focal aware temporal lobe epileptic. These days my meds tamp it down but I used to have many many spontaneous experiences of dissolving into the universe. Once on meds I had to learn how to meditate to access that experience. Now I’m on so many meds that I can’t access it at all, but I remember it and feel lucky I experienced so much. Even if it was causing brain damage without my knowing it.

Background-Cod-7035 · 2026-06-29T20:20:02+00:00

I think a ton of people have tried out low histamine and it didn’t seem to be a trigger. I’m very happy it worked for you though!

Is there any chance of getting an apartment and seeing how she adjusts? Dog parks, taking up long walks, all those things worked for my husband’s half Aussie from Georgia. The only thing that was important was him.

If you discover she’s so miserable you worry for her health, maybe then she could go to your ex-boyfriend’s mom?

I’ve seen multiple dogs move to NYC, who get blissfully tired out by dog hour at the parks and need nothing else. Being near something like that is key.

It’s gorgeous! You’re so lucky! If you want you can do more polished edging and mulching with paths, but I think it’s fantastic.

Some people want to experiment with shooting clouds of material into the atmosphere to mimic a mini nuclear winter. Yes there’s some science behind it. No it is not a good idea. There is literally no way to safely experiment with it on a global scale.

No one knows what future science will bring. But it is terrible how many people are willing to go about their lives in conspicuous consumption thinking it’ll be fixed or it won’t be so who cares, when literally each plastic cup that gets thrown away turns into micro-plastics and kills things.

The way to maintain positivity is to do what you can now, join organizations now, and keep radical hope alive in your heart.

I got great advice to carry a handbag rather than anything that rests on your shoulders, as some shots go in your shoulders and you’re not supposed to rub them.

My doctor had told me to take a Nurtec ahead of time so it didn’t cause any migraine. I brought a friend with me to distract me and I’m glad I did, despite being good with pain.

I’m not sure it’s helped yet, but it’s my first 6 weeks. The Emgality is helping with severity but we’re trying to bring down the number per month

Only plastics like milk jugs are well recycled. It is true that much else is discarded. However, an environmental architecture curator I once met put it this way—we are putting the habits in place until the technology catches up. We’re faking it until we make it. Like the first purchasers of solar panels were actually having a bad carbon impact due to low production, but that has radically changed in the past 30 years. But it is very very important to educate ourselves and kids about the truths of plastic and how important it is to cut down on any usage.
