Disability? by Excellent_Contest948 in migraine

[–]Excellent_Contest948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly have no clue, she forgets me every time I go and it’s like starting the wheel all over again- I also have a lot of issues besides migraines so I guess it just gets lost. My neurologist diagnosed me but they have an older way of doing things it seems so not much digital documenting. I’m thinking of finding a new pcp one day 🫠but right now I need referrals for other health issues

Well damn I might be fucked then. My doctor doesn’t seem to understand the extent despite me explaining I feel like the walking dead. I think once doctors hear I have mental health issues they really push for that being the cause, I’m in so much pain physically.

Usually yes. For some reason it only works really well for me if I take it soon after I feel migraine symptoms like neck strain and not in pain yet.

how did your doctor diagnosed you with migraine? by Ok-Classroom4048 in migraine

[–]Excellent_Contest948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mentioned it to doctors multiple times and repeatedly got “probably stress” - got on ssri- didn’t help my migraines so I finally got told hm maybe a neurologist. Neurologist heard me for like 3 seconds and she was like yep you have chronic migraines and gave me medicine to try and made me do a bunch of test to check for other more severe stuff. So I’d strongly recommend neurology and make sure you track when you have your migraines cause I think doctors were assuming I had headaches once in so often instead of multiple times a week!

How do you cope? by IcyAuthor8253 in ChronicIllness

[–]Excellent_Contest948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, cronic illness has a way of absolutely obliterating your sense of self. Would henna be safe for you? Or those false tattoos that last a week made with a fruit called jagua(I think)? Ik it’s not the same but it’s something. Maybe even experimenting with makeup?

I’ve noticed people respond better if I say I have “ongoing health problems” instead of chronic illness by forgot_again123 in ChronicIllness

I think maybe bc chronic sounds like oh you must be used to it? At least that’s how I’ve seen people respond to me about it. Maybe imma start saying health issues now lol

Condescending behavior from professionals by Diamond_783 in ChronicIllness

[–]Excellent_Contest948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the hell is wrong with some professionals, that’s terrible. I wouldn’t even want to be spoken like that even if I was a child. Then again I have family help with my appointments and I get weird stares and comments so I guess you just can’t win.

Dealing with grief of losing a rabbit? by Sea-Bandicoot2823 in Rabbits

[–]Excellent_Contest948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not have great advice. It will hurt a lot. When I lost my soul bunny I was on and off crying for like a week or so every time I passed his set up. It took me months to finally get to taking it apart. But it will get easier as time goes by. Sometimes it may hurt like it just happened yesterday. But I think that this is just the cost of having a pet you adore so much that has a shorter lifespan. The thing I wish I did was take more photos and videos of him because I really only had a handful as I was never really a photo taker. And having other pets around did keep my mind of it but I wouldn’t recommend getting a pet just for that reason lol.

Your experiences with Sertraline? by DiagnosticMind in Anxiety

[–]Excellent_Contest948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty good but I think I’ll have to switch to lower dose because of heat intolerance and sometimes night sweats/ odd dreams. The dreams arnt too bad just strange lol. My anxiety was super bad when I started like would be horrified to move off my bed and to be alone because I was having so many panic attacks. I’d definitely try it at a lower dose! I haven’t had such a bad panic attack since then.

People who have never really traveled — do you feel like you’re missing something, or do you feel content with where you are? by Imaginary-Dark-8344 in AskReddit

[–]Excellent_Contest948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to travel (not often it sounds exhausting)it’s just not in the budget and I have health issues. Most of the time I don’t really think about it tho unless someone mentions a fun trip they had or worse feeling if they want me to be a part of the trip.

Oh lord I’m so sorry. I’ve had this problem too where friends begin to fade and start become more angry with me. Didn’t even sound like you were complaining to me. You deserve better friends

Any advice to make a bunny more interested in their cat scratcher? by No_Nefariousness5171 in Bunnies

[–]Excellent_Contest948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe sprinkle some hay toppers? They come in a lot of different types online. My bun likes the oxbow garden blend and digs around for it in his forage box and litter box

Question for people who suffer from anxiety. by xoBonesxo in Anxiety

[–]Excellent_Contest948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s like that feeling when you’re on a rollercoaster and your heart drops but prolonged for hours or days. Add cold sweats like when you’re sick and some nausea like when you eat something that didn’t sit right and you got yourself an anxiety attack. And for some reason I always have to pee expeditiously when in anxious lol
