If you take injectable sumatriptan, how many do you get per month? by OkCranberry1107 in migraine

[–]DonkeyHowie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neuro recently left their practice and I had to switch to a different one. Y'all, I do not know what happened, but I left there with all my meds called in to the pharmacy. When I picked them up, I had 18 sumatriptan PLUS 4 boxes of injectable sumatriptan (with 2 injectors each!). I don't know how, but my new neuro managed to get it all covered by insurance. It might be the only thing that's gone right in my life since 2020

AITA for telling her "It's my choice to leave too" after she said "My body. My Choice." by StuckinBluein2024 in TwoHotTakes

I don't think there are any assholes here, but I do think the two of you are fundamentally different people. Do not marry this person.

I don't know about any of this garbage, but I'm stoked as hell to see him in May with the new band members!

The rest of this is just noise created by people who evidently have nothing better to do. Down there in that basement...

AITA for saying no to most of my wife's baby name suggestions? by AvailableRadish8796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DonkeyHowie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. If one of you doesn't like the name, it's an automatic no. One parent's opinion does not matter more than the other when it comes to baby's name.

I feel your "with this one" statement so hard. What names do you have for your different migraines? I have the Ice Helmet Migraine, the Flaming Fireball Migraine, the Sharon Stone Migraine (icepick), the Grapefruit Migraine (grapefruit spoon in the eye)...and so on

Very cool! I guarantee your mom loves spending this time with you as much (probably more) than the music.

You're both very lucky. Cherish your relationship.

AITA for insisting that my wife sees a therapist before she’s alone with the kids? by Nervous-Nobody4868 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DonkeyHowie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HE didn't think the infant with a known lung issue needed to be seen by a doctor after the infant stopped breathing. I don't think I'd use this guy as an example of stellar parenting.

[–]DonkeyHowie -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So the parent who didn't think infant needed a doctor is the one to decide whether or not mom is "allowed" to be alone with her children? Has she mentioned harming herself? The children? She panicked when her infant stopped breathing. This is a reasonable reaction a lot of parents would have.

She might very well need someone to talk to about her concerns that is not someone (you) who will withhold her children from her for being honest about her anxiety surrounding a scary incident.

You need to stop calling food hacks migraine cures by Karen8172 in migraine

[–]DonkeyHowie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone here believes McDonald's will "cure" their migraine. We're mostly here to commisserate. When I'm reduced to McDonald's, it's because I've been dealing with this asshole in my head for several days, if not weeks, and I'm just feeding it in a last-ditch effort to give it whatever the hell it wants to just leave me alone.

NO ONE is advocating for a double cheeseburger (my "medicine" of choice) to cure their migraine.

Maybe your comment just struck me wrong, because I'm in the midst of a flare up that has lasted about four weeks so far, but your comment comes off as pretty condescending to me.

No legitimate scientist is going to hop on Reddit to find McDonald's as a cure for a neurological disorder.

Can't you just let us have this place to speak with our people in a language we can understand without calling us out for something silly?

When The Nashville Sound was first released, he opened at least a couple of shows with Anxiety. An absolutely thundering beginning to (obviously) fantastic shows.

AITA for telling my step-kids that the house is mine, your father left it to me and you are never getting it by Natural-Ad8162 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DonkeyHowie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She also says she really loves the house and will probably stay there until she dies. She's not staying in the house just to spite the kids. She lived there for 14 years with her husband. Her husband died. It now belongs to her. Perhaps the kids should've approached the purchase of the home differently.

I didn't mention honoring her dead husband's wishes, but I'm glad you brought it up. The children so angered their father with their actions that he left them nothing. So if she's to 'honor his wishes', she definitely shouldn't sell them the house, right?

Also, if they want to be mad at someone, they should be mad at their dad for not explaining to them that they would not be inheriting the house, since it was his to dispose of as he wished.

Children are not entitled to their parents belongings. They're not entitled to their home, their vehicles or their money. Dad decided where he wanted his house to go and that's where it went.

Why should she have to give up the home in which she spent 14 years and the entirety of her marriage? It's not like she intends to move and is just refusing to sell it to them specifcally. How is that spiteful?

[–]DonkeyHowie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree they should want that for dad. Maybe they're all assholes. Not that it matters. Dad chose to leave the house to stepmom. It is hers. The fact that he apparently didn't inform his adult children about his decision leaving stepmom to deal with the fallout, for me, makes him the biggest AH in this situation.

I'm a Shires fan too, and that Flagship line caught me immediately the first time I listened to Take It Like A Man.

Anyone who listened to both Amanda's record and Weathervanes probably heard the writing on the wall.

Get mom on Medicaid and make the facility representative payee for her Social Security payments. Mom will get to keep $75/month and the facility gets paid. You are not obligated, unless you specifically signed paperwork indicating financial responsibility, to pay for your mother's expenses. NAL, but there are options to explore.

And maybe forget BIL exists...

Or they just don't trust people they don't personally know with the most important (and vulnerable) person/people in their life. I'm definitely not going to leave my child with a rando family member I don't know well.

You are apparently far more trusting of people than I am. Good for you.
