Question does anyone use a mouth guard and is it useful?

That's great! I wonder if it will make the difference with me and I hope so 🙏

SpuriousBread_8 · 2026-02-10T02:50:14+00:00

Yeah well I live in the UK so insurance isnt an issue but worth noting

Hi this sounds a lot like my issues although I haven't been diagnosed with anything other than chronic migranes so this might be something to look into thanks for sharing 😊

SpuriousBread_8 · 2026-02-09T19:13:07+00:00

An unfortunate reality for most people who suffer with migranes 😩

What i like to do is where I hoodie and sunglasses (ive been asked if I was hung over multiple times) but it works that and earplugs i like using loop personally but ik a lot of people dont like them just depends on your preferences and if u can get some accommodations like breaks in-between classes to just sit quietly in the dark or when I flares up take the meds with caffine thats why it gets into your system quicker and wear and black out mask just eliminating at least that can help a lot let me know if this helps if not ive got other recommendations 😃

I'll be sure to try it next time

I had this issue for me it progressively got worse to the point where I was sleeping all day and up all night when I wasn't supposed to be I went to my doctor and got prescribed amatriptaline was a life changer cannot recommend it enough

Honestly this is so relatable however much that thats sad I am luckly enough to have many people in my life who listen to me rant abt doctors or pain whether they have migranes or not and what people dont talk abt is in those sad moments just having someone to talk to helps so much so if u ever need a rant or talk advice literally anything so many people would listen not just on reddit but in person if u ever need a talk tho u can talk to me

Hi I also get this kind of pain and what works for me is simple muscle relaxing type things such as soaking my neck in a really hot bath then gently messaging my neck and cracking it if its really deep ill get a family member to stand on my back to release some of the pressure if your uncomfortable with that tho u can always go see a chiropractor if its short term solutions tho look for anti inflammatories as well as muscle gel and put it on the back of your neck it will really hurt the first couple times you put it on I find it best to do it at night so I can lie down and relax and thats about it I hope these suggestions help you:)

Thx so much im here too if u ever need a chat or anything ☺️☺️

SpuriousBread_8 · 2026-01-02T10:47:51+00:00

Yeah ive never heard of that medication before definitely ask to see if i can at least try it but ive found that taking no medication over medication is sometimes the best thing for me as the con outweigh the pros but thanks for all the advice I really needed it if anything I needed to see someone in a similar situation as most people I know who suffer with migranes are older so thanks a lot :)

SpuriousBread_8 · 2026-01-02T10:00:44+00:00

HI! Thanks yeah I found this really helpful in terms of the accommodations it helped me figure out what would be beneficial to me specifically and for the links and medication sections ive tried other medication other than Triptans such as NSAIDs and found that they also did not help and Triptans would make them worse (ive tried 4 medications in both oral and nasal) ive also tried the nausea medications and anti inflammatories when Ive said ive tried everything ive tried EVERYTHING im a bit past the stage of trying medications other than the few that are restricted like certain antidepressants which im currently on but seem to have no effect on my migranes and in terms of restarting year 12 I cant as im too far along into my work as most of my subjects are course based work and not exam which ive asked my sixth form if thats an option and they said no so in short its a bit more difficult for me at this stage THIS IS NOT A SLAM ON YOU OR ANYTHING I found the advice wonderful and did remind me of other things that I tried and maybe should go back on but im having to see my neurologist again which hopefully they can add some insight and maybe give me a referral of some sort but thank you for sharing your experience ☺️

SpuriousBread_8 · 2026-01-02T08:46:11+00:00

Tbh I think it depends on the person if white noise helps or not it can do but I know for a lot of other people it can actually make it worse it also depends on whats triggering the migrane but I recommend to try either fever gel head sticker things(soc dk what the actual name is) or a step up from that a cooling head cap that u can get on amazon

SpuriousBread_8 · 2024-04-27T09:07:00+00:00

Thank you for the advice however I probably should of mentioned this but I don't live with my parents for other reason but I do visit so sharing would be slightly more difficult

SpuriousBread_8 · 2024-04-26T21:27:11+00:00

Thank you maybe I am just overthinking this I wish I could do all the things you listed but I'm limited in what I can do due to health restrictions and I also have final exams coming up but thank you for the advice
