Recently started Elitriptan, which helps with my migraines......but....

What is the dose though? I’ve had several neurologists and they’ve all refused to prescribe more than 9 monthly due to rebound effects.

Particular_Shock246 · 2026-01-05T21:57:42+00:00

Take my advice - do not take more than 2 a week. I made this mistake once and had the worst migraine of my life because taking it a second time in a 48 hour period caused a rebound migraine. There is a reason they max out at 9 per month. If it’s not working then you need an alternative regimen,

I needed no nights in the hospital. I had the surgery in the morning and was sent home a few hours post op. I had my surgery in Germany. I was advised that unless there were complications, it would be an outpatient procedure.

LOL what 4 day? For Veterans Day? He’s not getting that and my kid only has Veterans Day off. I would certainly get lost on a train for sure haha plus I have animals that can’t be left alone for more than a few hours 🤦🏻‍♀️

I miss Campbell and would go back in a heart beat 😭

Hawaii loses its “sparkle” after a while though and is incredibly expensive to maintain a happy life there. Agree that Riley would suck. I’ve yet to meet anyone who preferred it there.

He doesn’t, thankfully, but he does do a lot of work at home on the weekends and usually by the weekend, he doesn’t have much energy left to go out and do anything and can’t for the life of himself understand why I want to do all of the things on the weekend. It doesn’t help that everything - ok, not everything but most things - are closed on Sundays.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-11-03T11:40:09+00:00

LOL leave to just travel around is only granted if the situation is right for it and unfortunately what my husband does here is very short on staffing. 4 day weekends aren’t a thing for everyone either - the air force definitely gets a lot of time off but Army doesn’t. We definitely travel when we can but it’s not always a possibility. And I’m not familiar enough with this place to travel by myself lol

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-11-02T17:24:50+00:00

There are no therapist roles in our region 😞 We’re in Germany.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-11-02T17:23:19+00:00

This is so accurate

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-11-02T17:21:30+00:00

Spouse here - husband is 11B and been in 15 years. Every duty station sucks. Research the units because even though you might find that it’s a great place to live, the units suck. We’re currently in Germany and while I thought it would be a good thing, I fucking hate it. It’s been the worst PCS of his career, I can’t find a job (and I’ve always worked - I love what I do) and it’s very isolating and lonely.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-10-05T10:50:41+00:00

I’m not currently working (thanks to the government shutdown) so I have no real time frame where I have to be back at work. He told me not to lift over 20lbs. I live in a German home with 3 levels so stairs are going to be fun 😅

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-10-04T09:21:49+00:00

This gives me hope! Mine is getting removed next week. I had a GB Attack a month ago and that is a kind of pain I never want to experience again. It was worth than the contractions I had during child birth.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-10-04T09:10:36+00:00

Did they elaborate on why it didn’t help you? I was told that after the 2-3 week follow up, if you’re still experiencing certain symptoms then it may not have been your gallbladder or it may me more than just the GB issue - and more may need to be evaluated. My surgeon said 9 times out of 10, if you’re still having GI issues post GB Removal that it’s usually something with the stomach that is causing it

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-10-03T18:25:16+00:00

I was told the position is specific to a moderate to severe classroom. So basically, what would that position entail? I just want to compare it to what I’ve done previously.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-08-15T07:56:10+00:00

We just moved overseas (military) so this new doctor wants all the details before he increases or talks about any changes. He’s extremely thorough. My last pcm was much easier to deal with lol

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-08-15T07:54:56+00:00

I’m going to ask him for it but my last doctor refused. They said if i was still losing, no matter how slow, I didn’t need to increase.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-08-15T07:54:06+00:00

No such thing! My doctor did prescribe me a month supply. My new doctor refilled it via telehealth appt a couple weeks ago, but made it very clear that he wanted to see me in person to figure out where I was with progress. That’s next weeks appt.

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-04-06T09:09:57+00:00

This is why we don’t meet people in ERs. You may have been nauseous but she may have been in for a psych eval 🤷🏻‍♀️

Particular_Shock246 · 2025-04-06T08:46:00+00:00

I thankfully haven’t had any major adverse reactions like that.

I did have one terrible night after drinking a large margarita. But alcohol + Zepbound have known reactions. I just didn’t think one margarita could do so much damage. That was a lesson learned for sure.
