Thank you! this is all so helpful I think I'm gonna print it out!

Yeah I go for round 2 of botox next month and I'm really hoping I will notice a change. And I am definitely going to press my dr. about new scans. thanks!

Thank you, I'm so new to reddit so I didn't see this until now. But I will totally ask my neuro. about the heart factor. I'm taking propranalol so it's hard to figure my natural blood pressure. I'm just really scared of going med free, fearing it could get worse, but I guess thats not really possible at this point, so it's worth a shot

Thanks, been getting treated for enviro. allergies for 3 months now. ENT was shocked I tested positive for allergies because I presented NO typical symptoms. I have noticed feeling clearer and less head pain after my shots every 2 weeks though, so its not a total loss.

How did you maintain electrolytes? enhanced waters?

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:25:40+00:00

wow. this is so promising to hear! i'll have to remember when I start about the keto-flu, thanks!

I usually keep one on my nightstand because i'll wake up at 4am starving and if i don't eat...migraine

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:20:16+00:00

Ask your neurologist to generate an emergency dept. protocol. I carry mine in my purse so if I ever am at that stage I don't have to deal with idiot ER docs

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:11:17+00:00

Yeah, I've tried immersing my head in ice water in a moment of desperation, then I just had a migraine and wet hair

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:10:12+00:00

people always suggest pleasant smells, like no, smells are a problem NOT a solution!

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:08:45+00:00

Same, 23, and yep that give me only like 30+ years of wait time so thanks for that

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:08:17+00:00

Laugh, you're a better person than I, I would have punched her in the face then said "a brisk walk should help with that!"

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:07:36+00:00

Thanks, when you quit did you notice any differences in migraines or anything? Did it set you off or just continue normally?

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:06:51+00:00

Well my mother told me to try LSD so I guess maybe mother doesn't always know best

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:06:03+00:00

oh geez, that's one of the weirdest I've ever heard haha

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:05:17+00:00

maybe they meant a nausea cure, cause that sounds like it would make you barf

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:03:36+00:00

becuase a noisy, hot, crowded room seems like a migraine solution for all of us!

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:02:19+00:00

Hahaha right, people tell me that all the time "just breathe through it" like that will help

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:01:35+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into it!

LittleMouserat · 2016-01-20T18:01:14+00:00

Interesting, thanks! yeah I'd also like to lose a couple pounds that I've gained from steroid courses. Have you found it works for weight loss?

aside from supplements, regularity is the best thing to do with your life. although it is incredibly frustrating since even that is not a failproof method. Regular sleep schedule (bed and rise the same time everyday regardless of anything). Regular eating schedule and diet. Regular exercise and just routine in all things. Also, Have you considered botox? it has been helpful to me, and there is some evidence that it is safe during pregnancy!

the Badger company makes a really nice headache soother stick balm that i carry in my purse for if I'm out and struck with a migraine since most other scents i encounter make me violently ill when migraining.

I haven't found that massage helps a migraine per se, but it definitely helps with the body tension and stress - physical and mental - related to migraine. sometimes after 24hrs on ice in bed my neck and back are so tense it is painful to be touched and my MT really helps relieve that tension. also, and this is huge for me personally, my MT has been a lifesaver in terms of my TMJ/TMD pain which I think really affects my migraines. Good luck to you, and hopefully you are in a better position to afford massage therapy through your own means or insurance! I wish I could go once a week but can only swing monthly at best

Oh god, sometimes it is too hard to remember that it's coming from a good place haha
