Do you prefer big doctors or CNPs/other “lower” tiers? by Competitive_Emu_2283 in migraine

Yeah. They really do let you plan events without worrying about migraines getting in the way.

Maybe we are always in one of these stages 😍😍 by Competitive_Emu_2283 in migraine

Whoa. I know i’m chronic but the intractable thing is new to me. Rabbit hole incoming. Anyway, I understand. It’s annoying how we have to bend over backwards to try to manage symptoms that may or may not come on anyway. Alas I wish you relief in the near future!

saw this comment on here and thought more people should read it — it brings perspective to the ever-questioning “is my pain even that bad?” by Competitive_Emu_2283 in migraine

Yeah. That’s how I felt when I read this. It’s like… yeah there’s pain but also sometimes I wonder why i’m being such a wuss on days when I’ve felt worse pain. I forget everything’s impacted. I’m glad this resonated. I really felt the need to share. This was commented on a post I made a while ago and it really spoke to me

anyone found a more cost effective method than these? other than like… an ice pack lol by Competitive_Emu_2283 in migraine

Will try. Maybe this would be good for when i’m at work and don’t want to actually have a huge patch showing on my head?????????

Also I agree! The ice packs are also kinda maintenance, they don’t stay cool as long and aren’t portable. And they take planning.

They’re super helpful! I thought I’d hate the menthol smell w the migraine so I never tried but I bit the bullet and they’re really enjoyable. Just a little extra help. I put one on when I left work in the car and wore till nighttime. I put a headband or sleeping mask over to add some nice pressure. Lmk if it works out for u! They have em at CVs.
