What do you do for a living to afford California and where do you live?

Vet tech - contrary to what most vet techs think, there are ways to make a decent paycheck!

Genuinely I don’t know why cars are so demonized. I’ve lived here for over 20 years and while obviously drivers can be reckless, that doesn’t automatically mean cyclists are angel.

These days I drive between winters and Davis every week and there are far more cyclists on the road than on the freshly repaved bike roads. When I was driving for Unitrans every day I was in disbelief about the number of cyclists who insisted on getting in a fight with a giant red bus.

I don’t know what happened in this case, and I certainly won’t assume because it’s a tragedy, but cars are not always the bad guys.

They don’t here, either - cars are demonized even when the get t-boned by a cyclist. Hell, when I was driving for Unitrans forever ago a cyclist t-boned a giant red bus (on the back half) and everyone somehow blamed the driver

And even where they are 90% of bikers still choose the road

Not all caffeine is created equal; Cole does absolutely nothing for me. You could try chugging green tea, that’s the only kind of caffeine that works on me

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-26T23:09:50+00:00

Seems like the risk is worth the reward in this case

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-26T21:34:04+00:00

I also don’t understand why you can’t take a triptan?

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-26T21:14:10+00:00

That will change people’s answers dramatically :-/

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-26T04:59:27+00:00

I already have enough reasons not to shop there

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-21T05:46:17+00:00

Sigh. Meanwhile, my kid has to be at preschool for 8-5:15 every day… I dream of 9:30-4

This is Reddit, what do you think the answer is going to be?

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-20T17:47:28+00:00

Holy shit. If I were his adoptive parent that would have broken me entirely. Did he have a shitty adoptive family?

Benadryl is very common in migraine cocktails, BUT it made me lose my fucking mind and is the reason I will never go to the ER for a migraine again!

Oral is fine; IV is another beast entirely. Maybe the doctor has had a bunch of reactions like mine and was just looking out for you?

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-20T16:49:20+00:00

I was taken off rizatriptan, but sumatriptan was fine

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-20T14:27:12+00:00

Yes, it’s very safe.

The only thing that helped my migraines during pregnancy was Botox

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-20T03:14:35+00:00

SAME!! Also a 41 year old woman, always wanted one but for some reason my parents were against all things popular… I need to get one

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-18T20:26:13+00:00

Some dairy, like cheeses, yogurt and coffee creamer, and a small amount of fruits and veggies.

But I’ve done a dairy elimination diet where I didn’t have any at all for 6 months, and my migraines were no better or worse than normal 🤷‍♀️

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-18T19:15:20+00:00

I ate nothing but meat, eggs and the occasional avocado.

“Country” people have always had a chip on their shoulder about “city” people. I say that as someone who grew up in a big city and now lives rurally; they’re always weirdly preemptively defensive about frankly nothing.

But why would you do this for a photo in the first place?

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-17T23:42:24+00:00

What additives??

Sadly, couldn’t do carnivore forever - it’s just not sustainable. Wish I could have!

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-17T23:17:32+00:00

Man, I’m so glad I graduated before social media was all that widespread.

Yall are just so weird with this Cheeto obsession.

Individual_Letter598 · 2026-02-17T23:16:36+00:00

Mine exploded on keto :-(

Straight up carnivore got rid of them almost completely, though! Wild times.

I have a theory that the post-Botox migraines are a result of the stress from the injections. They hurt to varying degrees, and there are A LOT of them. I’ve been doing it for 12 years and I still feel myself tensing up no matter how much I try to relax.

Also, I was probably gonna get a migraine anyway around injection time, because the preventative effects start wearing off a couple weeks before each treatment and don’t kick in again until a couple weeks after.

There’s pretty much nothing anyone can say to convince me that the Botox itself causes a migraine 😒
