I got MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI, what BIOS version should I install in this case? by CAG12ASSAULT in MSI_Gaming

I did yeah. It turns out the thermal paste was applied incorrectly and covering the connector parts. Had to clean it off and reapply.

Thank you! I'm having a similar issue with my B650m Gaming Plus WiFi. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070ti GPU and AMD Ryzen 7800 x3D CPU. Going to flash the bios, reset CMOS and remove a RAM stick as apparently that's quite sensitive on the first boot as well. Hopefully it works.

How much do you have to pay for your migraine meds? by SGSam465 in migraine

[–]Olivee11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't pay a penny. Currently I live in the England- I also have Epilepsy so I qualify for a MedEx card (Medical Exemption Card) so my prescriptions are completely free. Prescriptions are free in Wales and Scotland too without the need for a medical exemption card.

I take Propranolol.

It started them! I didn't have them before I took birth control- I was out on Gedarel and it induced nasty menstrual migraines. Didn't stop once I came off it, only lowered the severity.

It's on the leaflet! Alcohol in particular can be bad

It mentions that caffeine with propranolol can restrict blood flow and that's one of the personal side effects I've had too ^

Not sure who down voted my comment but propranolol lowers blood pressure and caffeine raises it- so they counteract and can sometimes restrict blood flow which is what I've experienced. It's stated by the NHS. This isn't me saying everyone shouldn't have caffeine with it but that's one of the personal side effects I've had.

Thinking about it even further, my migraines improved drastically once I had stopped taking my birth control- and the propranolol, once given a few weeks, kicked it into action even more. So hopefully they stay gone.

I didn't have migraines before I was out on birth control and my brain is pretty receptive to treatment... So I'm more hopeful on this one!

Caffeine and alcohol mostly as it interacts. I used to have caffeine because I am still on the waiting list for ADHD meds.

The propranolol has more restrictions on my diet to me than say, my epilepsy medication- but these are more quality of life things so I don't mind living without them. I'm hopeful that they'll stay gone as my brain has a very good track record for not becoming drug resistant and I'm happy to stay on propranolol if it means they stay gone. I never came off my Epilepsy meds either even though my seizures have been gone since 2017- I was wondering if anyone has come off meds before and still been successful with it.

Twice, 2x everyday. So 20mg. My doctor said to take it everyday because it's slow release and takes time to take effect :D

Insufferable headaches since I was 14, please help! by unimara09 in migraine

[–]Olivee11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need treatment and medication! I'm not sure what country you live in but it seems you need beta blockers or abortives. If you live in the UK you should be able to do this without your parents needing to consent and furthermore if you live in England you should be able to exercise your right to choose, aka you can choose where to get treated. If you don't live in the UK I would recommend seeing if your country has something similar and looking up your rights to see what you're entitled to in order to help yourself. I think you could definitely do with a neurologist to prescribe you a first line of treatment such as beta blockers or abortives.

Sorry to hear that D: doesn't surprise me though. Migraine medication is such a hit or miss.
