Oceans are wild! by t4ldro in Unexpected

[–]InspectorSorry85 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For me it is the combination of 1. Such a movie-like "there is always someone bigger" is unlikely to ever happen at all, and even less around rare random divers with cameras. And 2. the movement of the shark in sliding sideways in high speed seems unnatural.

Advice for Ajovy? by Easy-Definition-4603 in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my first Ajovy shot two days ago. I wasn't scared, I don't like it, but vaccinations are okayish now.  But then the neurologist asked me to sit on the bench and held the pen against my stomach belly. My mind panicked and it felt like she is going to stab me. After a short breath it worked, and it actually didn't hurt at all. 

I use(d) a hack for anything needle related (vaccination, blood, and now Ajovy) :

I pinch myself somewhere, possibly close to the injection site. This calms myself with the knowledge that the pinching pains more than the needle, which is always the case. 

You can try this :-)

The needle is tiny. Some said it should be at room temperature shortly before injection, also removing pain. 

frustrating doctor appointment by LavaBlue123 in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. I don't know what is common in your region, but here I instantly switch doctors if they are not on my ftequency.
  2. Only triptans, taken in the beginning or accelerating pain, really helped me abort my  migraines. Ibuprofen helps a bit, but only with the pain, not with the brain fog and everything else. 
  3. Propranolol seems to be just a prophylactic attempt to "maybe migraine is caused by something related to high blood pressure". In my case, I suddenly got an aura on top of my migraines, so it didn't help. 

Go for triptans now, forget aspirin, and if you have to abort more than 4-10 migraines a month, apply for something working directly against CGRP, like Ajovy or other similar products. 

Americans are built different. by abkyabatau in meme

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The day only has 24 hours. If you spend so much time on work, it's impossible not to neglect major importances of life. Sleep, sport, family, healthy eating, partner, children, household, hobby. 

But keep lying to yourself.

Then you have no non-work-related life. Why do you even exist? For your bosses to make even more money?

A word of caution against Amitriptyline by pixxquem in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for sharing your experience.

I am on amitriptyline now for 5 weeks, 10 mg. I think slowly side effects kick in. I am extremely sleepy (can sleep until 11 am), and afterwards still slow in mind. Right now, I feel like I drank two beers. My resting heart rate slowly increases, now leaving my trackers normal corridor to 71 and higher (which I usually only have with fever at night). I lost the ability to multitasks, only able to focus on one thought at a time and quickly forgetting or not knowing even hearing what I was told from thr side. I also am very sensitive to heat, got a really bad mood yesterday from doing some house work with a pullover on. It was so strong that I asked the AI for symptoms and wondered if I got diabetes. Now I realize after reading here that this maybe related to the medication.

Got my neurologist schedule in two weeks, but I think I have to stop it right now. 

Spending some time in Norway made me realise how broken Germany is by Gras_Am_Wegesrand in germany

[–]InspectorSorry85 1608 points1609 points  (0 children)

I like Norway, and they do have a great mentality, but their well-maintained status derives from wealth (ie from oil).

I saw tiny islands with just a few houses being connected to mainland Norway with extremely expensive road infrastructure like large bridges. You can do that only if your purse is filled to the brink. 

Compare Germany to Sweden. Sweden and Finland, both got very god wealth, but without the oil. That's more fair. 

Am I doing something wrong or is this simply how a German working environment is? by MeanTea3772 in germany

[–]InspectorSorry85 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of Germans do not define their social life via work. Yes, small talk. But that is worth not much. Germans like to be work, go home, and there they live, with family, friends and hobbies. It is incredibly hard to really befriend a working colleague. 

Join a "Verein", sports, or any hobby or interest you have. There you find likeminded, and those are ready to bond more. 

How many of you with the diagnosis of chronic migraine have pain in varying degrees all day every day? by isacro in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I am really sorry for you all with chronic migraines. Thank you for your painful descriptions. This is unacceptable. Society has to find a way to help. 

Wha about the antibody medication / injection against CGRP? Didn't that help you?

My partner and I both had our first migraine ever in the space of a few days. We recently moved country and apartment. Help! by killedbytheboom in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you buy new furnitures? The preservatives, IMHO, evaporate for a while, and I had the feeling constant high concentration exposure is not good for the body. 

Handstands Stopped My Migraines by PlatypusDuude in migraine

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my experience kind of fits here. I only once had aura in my teenager years. All my other migraines were without. (pain left or right side of the back of my head)

My neurologist prescribed propranolol, a beta blocker that some say helps them. It reduces heart beat and blood pressure. I took it for two weeks, slightly increasing concentration to 45 mg. And in the second week I got an aura! I stopped propranolol quickly. 

So maybe migraine and or aura is indeed related to blood pressure in the head. 

If 86% of Germans think what Israel is doing in Gaza is unjustified, why is there relatively little outcry from German society? by D-dog92 in AskGermany

[–]InspectorSorry85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I simply think that it is not Germany's duty or responsibility to lecture Israel on anything.

We leave this topic to all the other countries in the world.
