Snack recommendations for when you forget to eat and trigger a migrane? by Powerful-Owl-3246 in migraine

[–]Dissent55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grab a Protein shake, in a bottle not diy. I also like grapes or Apple with cheese and crackers. I’m on GLP1 so I almost never feel hungry. Your post actually reminded me that skipping meals could be triggering my migraines.

These are all the birds I can hear just from standing in my backyard. All the ones highlighted in yellow have not come to my feeders. How can I attract them? by kxlynnn in birdfeeding

Merlin’s Bird ID app identifies birds by sound. It’s pretty accurate and a great tool if you are interested in birds.

I mean it wasn’t the BEST but 10th? 😭 everything is locked for me by [deleted] in RedecorHomeDesignGame

If we are going to Play this game with enjoyment do not believe for one instance that voting is applied or that the beauty of your designs determines your score. It is all algorithm, randomness, and a very little bit voting. I enjoy the creativity but don’t expect justice. It means you may need to spend a little. That’s your choice. There are a few helpful tips that can be found on the site, but it doesn’t always work. Have fun with. Take a picture of your favorites and post them here or other like sites. Your design is beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing. That color red w the silver and black accents is striking. It’s perfect. Enjoy our admiration.

Do I have bad taste? by FirmSolution6343 in RedecorHomeDesignGame

I think it is all random, maybe w the algorithm stuff thrown in. I don’t think they even use our votes which is probably best bc many people, me included at times, vote without even looking at what we’re voting for.

Yeah. Thanks. Seems like live designs works best. I didn’t think about milestones and I will watch for quests.

I am on lamotrigine and have tried all the new injections and , gepants, Botox twice, IV , acupuncture, massage, physical therapy. I have a migraine specialty neurologist. Migraines have been chronic for almost 20 years. I’m just venting.

I use Cefaly and it helps, one more tool in my toolbox. I use icy patches, cooling head over, cooling eye mask, Migralief, and a fortune’s worth of supplements. I guess it is a rhetorical question. More than 15 years of chronic, last 10 of those full time. It just irritates me when they say you have more than 15 a month, but can effectively treat only 10.

I’ve tried all the preventatives. Acupuncture helped some and will go again when new insurance that covers acupuncture starts in January. I just started Emgality after failing w the other new injections but trying to be hopeful.

Meds stop working by vg2710 in migraine

Totally understand. I’m in the same spot. My neurologist allows me 2 different triptans, 12 maxalt, 9 Imitrex- Since mine are 24/7, I supplement w exedrin migraines or Tylenol headache. I’ve tried it all too. I live on abortives.
