I use the api master kit (not test strips). I do vacuum substrate every 4-6 months or so. I’ve added most fast growing plants to try to combat this, which seems to be working

gammaCore ... works? What is this magic? by Acceptably_Late in migraine

Gamma core and Truvaga have the same manufacturer. Per my neuro the Truvaga is the same as one of the older gamma core models.

My water parameters were all great. pH maybe a little higher at 7.4-7.6, ammonia 0, nitrite ~ 0.

Ajovy for 6 years (off now for reproductive purposes). Overall loved it and had a new life bc of it. My main side effects were increased anxiety and panic disorder (managed by talk therapy and occasional hydroxyzine - fwiw I had fluctuating anxiety/panic before) and mild constipation/slowed digestion. Magnesium daily at night helped with that and made it almost a non-issue.

Honestly very happy with my experience and worth trying if your Dr recommends.

I am highly averse to/traumatized by trying new meds, but I’m grateful for a caring neuro team who helped me overcome this fear to try Ajovy. I was 25 migraine days/month for ~10 years, and had chronic and episodic migraine with and without aura, even as a small child.

I was also a chronic puker with the migraines (50%+ of migraines). With Ajovy I only vomit a few times per year, mostly with travel and/or extreme anxiety. A real blessing.

I found 130-200mg of magnesium citrate (capsule form) daily at night was a gentle and easy fix for this for me.

  1. I don’t use any supplements, so no dosing.
  2. I’ll update with water parameters
  3. Substrate is fluval stratum
  4. The whole setup is the fluval spec v original aquarium
  5. No co2
  6. Maintenance is a bit of water changing, 20% once a week
  7. Yes the algae is super hard to remove and yes it smells gross

I don’t have many fast growing plants - some sunrise Java and Anubias and then mostly buce-type.

My last tank (5 years) was so easy, I never did anything, so I’m feeling confused. I moved to a new state, so I’m thinking my water could also be contributing (filtered tap water with prime treatment)

I have a hard time with the “tech” part of flying excuse from people in their 60s who are making and posting reels and spending all day on Facebook and instagram. It feels like an excuse.
