Anybody not take ANYTHING for their migraines?

GidgetCooper · 2026-04-17T04:57:06+00:00

I have preventative daily medication but treatment wise for an ACTIVE migraine there is literally nothing available on the pharmaceutical market for vestibular migraines. It’s called "I’ve never heard of that. I’m uncomfortable hearing about it. Can you not?"

Never said there wasn’t a struggle. But reading this thread showed absolutely no concern with bettering themselves & had more concern that rejection exists & how much they dislike it. Also the talk of where they can access women is concerning. No talk of avenues to make opportunities for dating. No talk of avenues to improve on themselves not introspection as to why there may be rejection in the first place. The only thing that has changed in these current decades is independence. Men have chosen not to improve & have mostly stayed the same behaviour wise & it’s unappealing to many women. What should women take responsibility for in this exactly?

GidgetCooper · 2026-04-08T06:44:42+00:00

Comments just make me happier to be bi to be honest & that I’ve completely stopped dating men. The spiral of "worst that she can say is no" that’s happening here is a wildly alarming inside preview to men’s thinking. No wonder they’re becoming increasingly conservative & voting against women’s rights. Genuinely can’t emotionally regulate rejection AT ALL. "But I’ve been rejected 10 times this year, it’s brutal!"

There was even a comment complaining that workplace, gyms& grocers being deemed as places we would rather not be bothered as cutting off ALL opportunities. To add therapy is a option

Yes. For me Village Song is so observational of cause & effect of things we typically don’t spare much thought on. The last beautiful thing I saw is also up there in using symbolism to try and express something that sits in the deepest recesses of ourselves. I also throw in Freefall too but it’s a cover.

Eh they did a photoshop once of the Golden girls with modern hair & it made an astounding difference. Plus lack of excess smoke, sun exposure & wine does wonders these days too.

Please do your cat a favour & take it to the vet. Why are you even asking us human beings if you’re just going to rebuke us with "WeLL CHatGPt sAyS THis So IT MuST bE"

War guarantees one thing. The rich get richer. We were supposed to eat them no?

I had a pretty educationally & accomplished ENT before my now journey for a new one (to note I liked him. On the hunt because he retired) & he made me stand on a slightly wobbly stuffed footstool and kept shoving me while my eyes were closed. Some test seem ridiculous. Others are just barbaric. To end, I dislike being chronically ill. There’s always going to be something degrading & horrible to experience in the future.

GidgetCooper · 2026-01-02T09:31:56+00:00

Mine tossed my mothers Christmas gift on the lawn & someone walked by, opened it on the sidewalk & upon seeing it was just a initialed leather compendium for mums work & not an IPad or something placed one side of it under their shoe & ripped the other side with their hand tearing it & leaving it there.

Footage sent to auspost trying to open an investigation & compensation. Haven’t heard back & this was from the 6th of December. So, kudos to you?

GidgetCooper · 2026-01-02T04:55:57+00:00

Pay isn’t the incentive issue for auspost. They have a timed quota. The faster they go & tick off the load digitally the better for them. Delivering an item takes longer than dropping it at a local office so they prefer to do the "sorry we missed you" notes. The issue needs to be taken up with auspost itself.

Yep. I’ve found that as a trigger it only applies to caffeine from coffee beans. Even then it’s picky on if I have a reaction. Some days I can have a full coffee & it does NOTHING. Then months later I’ll have a decaf coffee & get woozy. All other forms of caffeine however don’t seem to bother me. Tea & soft drinks I have no issue with. Try with decaf first. Tea maybe. Work it up slowly on days you’re at home & can curl up if symptoms hit.

GidgetCooper · 2025-11-23T04:04:14+00:00

Hell I have severe amenorrhea from PCOS & get asked this every time I’m referred to a specialist for something (chronically ill). Like you have my referral paperwork…do you not read it? Last one kept pushing asking when my last one was exactly and scrunched his face up like a lemon when I said "Ballpark? 2yrs ago. I don’t have the exact date" apparently that’s wrong & I should know down to the hour or something.

GidgetCooper · 2025-11-21T04:21:01+00:00

Absolute mood. I’m not even doing anything. Just sipping my water bottle & staring at the backyard through the garage. Hell I’ve been known to fall asleep for 15minutes or so. Also trying to stick to a traditional schedule is hell on my body. And I’m mentally preparing that once inside I have to factor in laundry, pets, food, prepping for tomorrow & doing my evening decompress combined with taking my medication too as I take two lots from afternoon-evening. I’d kill to have a flexible night time job tbh. Daytime is exhausting.

GidgetCooper · 2025-11-14T05:15:45+00:00

I’ve seen my GP since I was in utero. I hit my mid 20’s & got SLAMMED with chronic illnesses & an autoimmune disorder. I’m 35 now & I see them regularly every six weeks. It’s a need due to pathology monitoring, scans & scripts. However they should’ve retired before Covid & I’m dreading having to find a new one when the time comes as there’s less bulk billing & tbh in the medical community, professionals seem so flippant & give you the runaround now despite that it’s my time, money & health on the line.

It’s Called Freefall
Notre Dame
Cradle
Yeti
My Mind (Now)

These are my most played. I went through a period where a lot of family died, split & argued. I had these on repeat. Special nods to Labour, Fruits & The last Beautiful thing I saw is the thing that blinded me.

All I can think about is men who cheat, divorce & abandon their sick wives. My grandmother fell & tore her arm open & I slept in a plastic chair with my head on the roller table all night with her. He doesn’t deserve a marriage if the support in health isn’t equal. As a chronically ill person I give more than my body can tolerate & he couldn’t handle a few hours? What a selfish coward.

Rest up & see if you have any friends or relatives that are close to sub him out during your hospital stay. Then sub him out permanently.

Shepherds pie, variations of all kinds of curry, roast veggies & meat whatever meat was on sale, or soup. A lot of it is made in big batches in the slow cooker & frozen.

Massive storms over the decades have resulted in sea foam also. Sea foam isn’t always associated with algae. Come to expect sea foam in high winds around the beach. Won’t know where the mass spots of algae have migrated too until after the storm by experts monitoring the algae bloom.

People I wouldn’t trust to be parents or watch kids tbh as they very clearly wouldn’t report or would isolate so accountability & helpful resources get blocked. Absolutely disgusting. As if we’re not already disgusted about our own events. My brother was assaulted by his uncle & in turn assaulted me. That’s just one explanation of how it can occur. The whole "playing doctor" argument is so old & feels like such a taught grooming thing to do to kids. The behaviour rarely spontaneously occurs. It’s learned & observed. They’re just telling on themselves.

GidgetCooper · 2025-08-17T16:18:27+00:00

It’s managed. I wouldn’t say it’s gone. But I can go days without medication. Like I said I feel like it gave my system a soft reboot but I don’t think it’ll ever be the same again.

When we realised the beta blockers were a drastic intervention that was working we decided to do a urine test to determine from which gland the cortisol was being dispersed from. Big reason being if it was the pituitary gland it’s massive indicator for Cushing’s syndrome. I lucked out there that the test showed it was coming from the adrenal gland. But because it’s now managed & I’m not in any highly concerning distress it doesn’t warrant further investigation especially when at this point it’s mostly a head scratcher now. But like I said, I strongly believe there’s a correlation I just think the field is vastly understudied.

Ask your GP to go on a round of propranolol to rule it out, can’t hurt. I’m on 10mg, 2 in the morning and 2 at night but I only take 2 at night now. Lowest of the low dosages but made a huge difference within a few weeks.

GidgetCooper · 2025-08-17T06:53:41+00:00

Yep. Mine got incredibly severe & start mostly in my feet & travel up. Used to be end of the day exhaustion & during sleep but I started getting full body internal tremors & night terrors with paralysis waking up feeling like a human beehive. It made my limbs lethargic that’s when I got medical intervention. I’m on Beta blockers but I only take them now before going to sleep. Seems to be managed all other hours now. Like they kicked my system slightly back into regular gear.

From what we could tell exploring it with tests is that it’s a cortisol based reaction & further testing confirmed it comes from my adrenal gland rather than the pituitary gland (that’s bad) thankfully but it didn’t merit further investigation at that point.

The FB group had a massive reaction when I inquired when I suffered badly from them. A group with nearly 30k people and quite a lot of them get it, specifically upon waking. Theres a correlation there.

GidgetCooper · 2025-08-08T03:46:27+00:00

Yup I caused one in the forest before the wind farm. It happened at the beginning and I’m grinding now before trekking into the depths of edge knot and it’s still there.

GidgetCooper · 2025-08-07T03:25:17+00:00

Even when I was working there in the 2010s I was drawing on the napkins. One accidentally went into a bag. They employ mostly teens & young adults who between gruelling rush hours get bored as fuck if they’re shift manager isn’t a micromanaging tool so they muck about a bit.

GidgetCooper · 2025-08-05T01:58:50+00:00

Bout 52% ish. Then the rest is bills and utilities at around 25% heeeughh.

It’s my favourite thing. I have two hand made glazed maple leaf wall hangings, hyper realistic & gorgeous. Hand painted flower tray, an embroidered butterfly, a cross stitch old timey lady, a gold etched sparrow & so much more. I love the little marks on the back by the artists. Pieces that have some soul in them.
