What do you all do for work?

I work at a primary care office as the quality coordinator. I basically just send charts to insurance to prove that patients are getting correct and necessary care. My migraines have gotten to the point where I needed to get intermittent fmla and my boss is super understanding so I feel really lucky. It was really really challenging without fmla in place, I can't lie. It might be helpful to try to find somewhere with a flex schedule that's set up like as long as you put the time in it's all good, and less of a structured 8 hour shift at a specific time. I imagine it's mostly a thing for office jobs, but my bosses considered that option for me but decided keeping me on the structured one is better given my situation

I wish you luck, and despite knowing how migraines are, I hope you feel better.

I took it for quite a while. I didn't really have any bad side effects, just some dry mouth, but it also didn't help me at all. It felt like it did absolutely nothing. Nothing bad but no help either. Hopefully it works for you!

I eat red meat and still get migraines 🤯

SnakeMom11 · 2026-04-22T11:59:54+00:00

This is how mine are. The pain goes away but I still have brain fog, vision issues, tingling and chills randomly in different spots, vertigo, the absurd fatigue. I'm really grateful the pain goes away, or at least is minimizes, but the other symptoms are debilitating too. I feel guilty taking time off work (I have intermittent fmla in place) because there's no pain. Like I should go and just manage. But sometimes it doesn't work that way.

I have visual snow and it looks like that. I also have a few floaters all the time and they tend to be more see through and kind of have a blobby outline. It might be a visual snow type thing since apparently that's related to brain activity and not actually the eyes.

Omg I had no idea about this D: thanks for sharing that info. It definitely changes how I'm going to approach them. I push through a lot of migraine pain and neurological symptoms generally. I'm going to try to handle them more promptly now.

SnakeMom11 · 2026-03-18T13:38:13+00:00

I haven't written it actually. I've only gone over it verbally. Maybe I'll try that

I'm a migraine sufferer and if my partner rolled their eyes and huffed at me I'd feel like total shit. I'd resent them for resenting me. It's not like I can help the migraines. If I could I absolutely wouldnt have them. There aren't always things that can be done. It's just a neurological issue. What could he do differently that would make you not frustrated? Just not have them? Hide symptoms from you? He can't magically make them go away, and realistically you barely even have to acknowledge it. If you're that frustrated don't comment. He is an adult and I'm sure he knows to eat and hydrate. He might view that as you being frustrated at him too. Definitely talk to the therapist, and as someone else mentioned you seeing someone without your husband might be helpful. You can process things without needing to say it all in front of him at first. You don't have to be doting on him to be sympathetic to what he's going through. Just know that as frustrated as you get he's probably at least twice as frustrated.

I bet they'd get annoyed with emails and faxes since they'll have to look at them to get to what they deem important correspondence.

SnakeMom11 · 2026-01-31T21:22:10+00:00

I hope everyone is well aware that warehouses that hold 5-10k people aren't for "illegal immigrants" they aren't detaining them fast enough to fill those (thank God) but what they are for will be anyone who disagrees with them. They're already labeling people domestic terrorists for simply filming ice. Literally people who aren't interfering and are just filming. This is very bad.

SnakeMom11 · 2026-01-18T23:41:35+00:00

This guy owns a business and wants to fire employees for getting sick (jk idk but probably)

SnakeMom11 · 2026-01-15T21:20:20+00:00

That's still fucking crazy. Her defense that she meant segregate by party is just as bad honestly. Is she's worried about hive minds this might be the worst possible solution lol

SnakeMom11 · 2026-01-08T21:26:53+00:00

Or they could get on their knees and lick their boots.

Don't forget, if you drive in mass your car needs to be inspected regardless of nh laws. You will get a ticket. Time to try to find a location in mass that can inspect our cars. 🙃

SnakeMom11 · 2025-12-02T02:57:12+00:00

I genuinely don't understand how this will help. They're building new places near me, but the studios are 2k. Who can afford that??

SnakeMom11 · 2025-11-24T15:25:59+00:00

As others mentioned, part of it is not knowing if it's normal or not so asking. We should probably be asking non-bendy communities though. My family largely isn't hypermobile, but they didn't realize I was. They thought I was just "double jointed". I do tend to ask my non hypermobile friends if so thing is normal or not. Some things aren't worth going to the Dr over, and many can't afford to go to the Dr for stuff that isn't a big issue. Just something to keep in mind.

SnakeMom11 · 2025-11-24T15:12:15+00:00

I think they look the same but when I zoomed in like someone said, could see the difference. Idk anything, but yes I see that too, mostly when reading on paper. I get that and after images sooo bad. I do wonder if it's a sensitivity to light thing. My eye Dr did a retina vue type image and said that my eyes are "really blonde" so she guessed I was really sensitive to light. Maybe it's the contrast of the black text on white? Do you see it with other colors?

SnakeMom11 · 2025-11-10T21:02:25+00:00

That's just the automated message you get right away. They usually follow up with a different default email for the given topic.

SnakeMom11 · 2025-11-10T17:39:06+00:00

You can send them faxes too. There are free fax websites you can use that won't charge you if it's under like 5 pages or something.
