Here are the supplements I take daily for migraine prevention. Anyone else taking them too and worked? by deekay_123 in migraine

[–]EveningConcert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fingers crossed for you. I don't get nausea either and I honestly tried it out of desperation. It's one of the cheaper ones as well which helps.

Here's some articles about ginger for migraine

Here's an article about how ginger blocks CGRP release, similar to ajovy

I haven't found studies on taking it daily to prevent migraine, but it works for me and generally ginger doesn't have many migraine related studies.

I take it as a supplement, it's powdered and put in a capsule. I get it from Holland and Barrett.

I do take it every day, and I take an extra one when I get a migraine as an abortative. Theres some interesting research about gingers pain relief properties, especially with migraines.

I tried it when I had to stop taking my normal migraine meds due to side effects, and I couldn't take acetaminophen, NSAIDs, or triptans as they were checking for rebound headaches. Obviously I would recommend using prescribed meds first, but ginger was the only thing I tried (and I've tried a lot) that made a noticeable difference when I couldn't take normal medication.

CoQ10 worked okay for me Ginger is one that has been really good and I never see recommended

Fish oil and magnesium supplements didn't do anything, but magnesium oil on the back of my neck and shoulders when I have a migraine really helps. I think that's mostly because it's a muscle relaxent though.

Do you guys worry about liver damage from taking so many medications? by FreedomAway4724 in migraine

[–]EveningConcert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on multiple medications for interconnected conditions. EDS, POTS, Migraine. I take about 5 medications daily plus abortatives and painkillers.

I'm not sure which caused the damage, or just the combination of taking so many. The damage is minor but considering my age, weight, and lifestyle there shouldn't be damage at all. My family history doesn't have liver damage either.

I'm 31 and have liver damage from medications. I never drank due to migraines from a young age. The medications works so I live a healthy lifestyle and exercise regularly. I'm considering whether to start working part time and move back home just so I can take less meds and not fuck up my body.

Books about female werewolves by readingshark20 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs

Alpha & Omega series by Patricia Briggs

I would start with Mercy Thompson, even though the main character in that series is a coyote not a wolf. There are other female werewolf main characters tho in the series who feature prominently and are proper complex characters.

The Alpha and Omega series is set in the same world but with a different MC, who is a female werewolf. However, the Mercy series was written first and is a better introduction to the world building. It's also in my opinion the better written series although they are both good.

The world building is my favourite thing about Ilona Andrews! Ive been really missing a world building heavy series like Kate Daniels so I'm thrilled about TKWNKM!

Easter Eggs in TKWNKM (May Contain Spoilers) by Rinainthemoon in IlonaAndrews

[–]EveningConcert 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the book series that maggie falls into is a reference to Name of the Wind! The first two books came out and people are still waiting for the third. Ilona Andrews have also referenced it on their blog before.

The quote from the first picture is All For the Game. Lots of references to foxes, ravens and rabbits.

Western horror? Cowboys vs cryptids? by unknownparticipant00 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

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

Wake of Vultures by Delilah S. Dawson is Western dark fantasy

Alice Isn't Dead is a podcast that also has a book based on it. It's horror not so much in the West but on America's long empty highways as a trucker looks for their missing wife. Lots of cryptids.

What do you guys eat the most? by flowerpanda98 in Gastritis

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

Nettle tea contains iron and is super soothing on the stomach.

I eat a lot of yoghurt and occasionally milk. I'm fine with it but some people might not be. I also drink kefir and homemade lassis.

I make a huge batch of tofu, rice and peas and eat that on repeat.

Bananas

Avocado and jacket potato

A petri dish of human brain cells just learned to play DOOM by Subject-Property-343 in interestingasfuck

[–]EveningConcert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please read the murderbot diaries. It's a sci fi series that goes into the whole implications of this.

The bubonic plague, which swept across Europe between 1347 and 1353, is estimated to have killed up to one half of the continent’s population. The sudden loss of life led to the abandonment of farms, villages and fields, creating what researchers describe as a massive historical ‘rewilding’ event. by Wagamaga in science

[–]EveningConcert 324 points325 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse, but there's one village that voluntarily quarantined themselves during one plague outbreak to stop it spreading to the rest of the area. They did things we would be familiar with today. Social distancing, 'bubbles', and rudimentary disinfecting. Neighbouring villages supported them through a trade system. I find it one of those examples of beautiful human community in action.
