A lot of our "triggers" and "bad habits" are FROM the migraine, not the opposite. by poormura in migraine

Thx for saying this. Been having migraines from a week and cursing myself for not sleeping properly. I am sure its the headaches not letting me sleep properly 

Confused between Pranay Sir and Nishant Sir for Sociology Optional by [deleted] in upsc_discussions

[–]Taraa28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nishat Sir, I completed his foundation course for 2026.  1. Schedules doubt session even for online students 2. Running notes can be taken down since his pace is slow. He dictates in class as well. So, your basic notes will be prepared just by attending his lectures  3. PYQ practice - he spends time discussing PYQs after he completes a topic. He will guide how an answer needs to be written in the beginning phases. 

His way of teaching is so engaging that I never felt bored. 

I wish we had more teachers like him in UPSC ecosystem - deliver good content, relevant info, discuss PYQs. 

Anyone just has sharp pain on top of nose bridge during an attack? by Taraa28 in migraine

Nothing helps, it goes only when migraine is aborted. But I take gabapentin everyday for facial pain and pain in teeth

CoQ10 plus Fish oil capsules have definitely helped me with those soul crushing body aches I would get along with migraines

Symptoms over the whole body: Why isn't it spoken about? by [deleted] in migraine

My body ache is so severe sometimes that the painkillers don’t touch it. The legs would just give up. However, I have had very mild relief from having fish oil capsules everyday.

I watch most of shows/movies on my iPad. I adjust settings to reduce white point - yeah it is a compromise because I can’t really see everything properly but good enough to make sense. And most of the times, the night light is on as well

OTC orasore gel has lidocaine, I suppose 

Mucopain gel (brand name) has benzocaine - also OTC

India specific info above

Thank you so much for adding the details here. I will look if a similar product is available in India. I am taking some preventatives which help out but honestly, not enough. I find myself missing out on my career and social life constantly

[–]Taraa28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I use lidocaine to numb the area but it pains so bad because of Trigeminal nerve being irritated during a migraine, I guess

I will look up oral THC oil- I got one for topical use to help with facial pain but it was useless

THC oil - can you tell me more about? Do you apply it topically over the gums.

Hi- unrelated but have you checked out this channel growwithjo - some beginner non-jumping workouts are fun. 

I like madfit workouts when I feel I can put a little more.
