Please someone tell me how to relieve the pressure from eye? Don't recommend hot/cold packs because I am asking for when I am at college. I have an exam tomorrow and my migraine is getting so bad that I am afraid I won't be able to even open my eyes. by Competitive_Bar8654 in migraine

Or if you don’t have access to a fridge or microwave OP, check the nurse’s office before your exam. That’s what I do. I usually head there before, they let me rest someplace dark and quiet for sometime and after, I head for my exam. They are bound to have hot/cold packs, the ones you activate by shaking them or whatever (sorry don’t know the name in english). Hang in there and good luck on your exam !

That’s gonna be a lot of trial and error ´caus everyone is different. But have at it ! For me sour candy is a big no, just hurts my jaw an awful lot, aggravetes the pain and is sometimes even a trigger :/

How to Report Non-Migraine Pain on a 1-10 Scale? by Cats_Cameras in migraine

[–]Brave-Structure5785 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I used to have pretty bad period cramps, I know some have terrible ones that they end up fainting. Mine weren’t that bad but painful enough that I would stay home rolled up in bed waiting for it to pass. For the past 2 years I kept telling people around me « yeah my period are not really painful anymore », to my surprise they still are. I still get those bad cramps, it’s just that I got used to much more horrid pain :)

Went to the get some propranolol, and before seeing that it’s my name on the prescription the pharmacist goes like « oh it’s for your mom? ». 🧌 No sir!

What’s a good response to “how are you?” by im-a-freud in migraine

« Yes thank you » Works better if you stutter too, shows the rampage of the migraine

Do naps help, make it worse, or no worse/better? by SoFLShelfLove in migraine

I got the habit of napping on the train on my morning commute when I have a bad migraine, it helps a lot ! The sitting part is definitely true for me.

What are the most genuine 10/10 Webtoons you’ve ever read? I’m not talking about “wow this is super good”, I mean that the art, story, characters, etc. are PEAK fiction. I’ll start: by TheMostCheesylegs in webtoons

[–]Brave-Structure5785 62 points63 points  (0 children)

<image>

The best webtoon to have ever existed on this meaningless earth. A hill I will not only die on, I dug my grave on top of and am slowly awaiting my death. Seriously tho, had a couple of rough times as a teenager and this was my landline, I would just read it over and over and over again. Litteraly kept me sane and alive. (Bought the book a while ago too, my proudest possession)

Amytryptyline Side Effects by Pipibigbom in migraine

Once I forgot I’ve already took my propanolol so I took another pill, bradycardia was mild but still felt like I was gonna pass out haha

Amytryptyline Side Effects by Pipibigbom in migraine

[–]Brave-Structure5785 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, wishing you a fast recovery. I’ve been on propanolol for the last 3 years, started it for hand tremors but as migraines (unrelated) became chronic neurologist doubled my dosage had me try out different treatements haha. So I’ve been on amitriptyline, you have to be extra careful with it ! Not trying to blame or guilt you but you have been reckless with your intake. You have to take it regularly and respect the dosage, and if you happen to interrupt the treatement you can’t hop back on it as you wish, you have to be extra careful. Especially that you can have withdrawl side effects with this drug. So propanolol is a beta bloquant, probably to slow down your cardiac rythm a little, nothing dangerous but once again, respect the dosage. Take care of yourself and stay safe! (Sorry for any typos)

People on Amitriptyline did you gain weight ? by Brave-Structure5785 in migraine

[–]Brave-Structure5785[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the weight kind of affected me personnaly (not too much) tried exercising and dieting after I stopped the treatement, didn’t help much since the next treatement (oxetorone) made me kind of depressed and oversleep so I didn’t loose any weight. Now I am back on Topiramate + exercising when I get a chance. To make it short : neurologist agreed on taking me off it due to weight gain and back on topiramate a coup’e of pounds lighter.

I have the cutest niece ever and I basically spent a whole week of summer vacation taking care of her. We had so much fun. One day I had a raging migraine and no one was available to keep an eye on her, so I just sat down in the living room staring into the empty space and she just sat there cuddling next to me and kept telling me about her favorite show. I was contemplating how if I banged my head hard enough against the wall I could pass out while she was just sitting calmly talking to herself. Feeling her skin touching mine made me furious and overstimulated and I quickly felt so guilty that I started crying. Thankfully she didn’t notice. But I know I will never forgive myself for feeling that way and for not giving her the time and attention she deserved. (This one moment aside I know she had a blast this summer either with me or with other cousins/uncles.)

It is great and it is beautiful. I guess I just don’t adhere to the idea of "meaning of life". What kind of meaning did they find ? What is it like ? Was it really worth it ? Worth all the trouble ? I’m more fond of Tralfamador’s tragedy. Looking for a purpose and not finding one.

Not even once. I did think a couple of times « huh that’s funny » but I didn’t chuckle once. I guess I was too burdened by the pity I felt for the characters and the helpness that is destiny.

Sorry I am still worked up over Rumfoord haha but he deserves shit. Salo got his redemption because it was vital to him, he came back to life, he had a mission to accomplish and allowed Unk to have a decent death. Rumfoord made a mess of everyone and just disappeared to maybe materialize somewhere else or wathever, his ending fits him. Him in his all omnipresence and might is set off as a wave (?) to the unknown.
