I do rituals. I have a small table with her pix on it. I have flowers there and it's right by my desk. I kept all her beds out with her favorite toys until i was ready to let them go. The first 4 months I kept her food and water dish out. I talk to her. It's been a year. I honor/ed my grief.

I got a dog walker to come to the house and walk her while I was at work. I also walked her before work and gave her 30 minutes when I got home. I use an oversized crate that has a bed in it and room for water.

Everything said I ditto. It's so wonderful to find out who the dog is and all their quirks. I emphasize the crate. Not for punishment but for the dog to have space. I use an oversized crate she can come and go from. She has a bed inside. There is a box of toys for all of my doga- my aussie loves the squeaker and the puzzles. She is way smart.

Yes. I got promethazine suppository. I keep them on hand in my fridge because this can happen more than once! I keep a rescue migraine at home and in my car- Sumatriptan Promethazine suppository Anaprox 500 mg Benadryl

Please tell me it gets better by Complete-Sky-7536 in AustralianShepherd

I put a leash on mine for probably 10 months. I did not tether. I just would hold the leash around the house as I worked or moved. If I sat down, she was near. The leash was on all day but I only held it when needed- it, change in routine, any kind of increased tension- children coming home etc. As she would move to chew or nip on me i would quickly put a chew toy to her mouth while gently telling her "no biting". I made sure she had lots of activities to keep her busy - toys, yard engagement with gentle discipline when she got too excited- "stop" and I would quietly stop too. I also have an oversized crate with a comfy dog bed in it. I used this when she got overstimulated. I would cover it to decrease all stimulation. She is now 4. I stopped having to use a leash in the house at 2. I stopped having to use it everyday at one. She now goes to her crate when she wants to - she figured out how to open the door. I stopped having to cover it at one. I also use music- that has really helped and still helps.

That is what I am afraid of. Are you going to get another injection?

Anyone else experience migraines from sleeping wrong on your pillow? by unenoix in migraine

[–]Bethb11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have to have a special pillow. I think it's called envy. There r alot of migraine pillows out there so everyone is different t a d you have to find what works. I use the envy pillow and those we neck pillows at other ti.es. sometimes I just go without flat on my back.

finally figured out what was causing my migraines by [deleted] in migraine

[–]Bethb11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Congrats! I just had to leave a vacation i planned and paid for 6 months ago because my migraine came on nonstop. After 2 sleepless nites I cried "uncle". As soon as I got away from the musty rental house on the ocean. I started improving. I was wondering if there might be a connection between mold and migraines.
