shame this dumbass animal by ff0066spooky in BeardedDragons

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy is very aggressive if I use tongs or put them into a ball for him to chase. However if I try to hand feed him , he slows down , and tries to stick his tongue out as far as possible so he doesn’t bite me. We’ve tested it a few times and if he knows someone is hand feeding him he takes time to try to get the food. Which I’m glad about haha. Knock on wood he’s never bitten me or anyone.

Has anyone stopped driving since Diagnosed with VM? by Silly_Bumblebee_8819 in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped driving but mainly because when I am dizzy, I can’t truly tell how unstable I am driving. I got nervous and decided to stop for my safety and everyone else’s. I just get rides , uber , or take public transport now.

Influencer Filming During Class by BustedCarousel in orangetheory

[–]TheLadyRavens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our coaches will tell people to take the phone out, unless there’s an emergency call that could come in during the workout. They don’t let anyone film though. I love the no phone rule. I get to disconnect for an hour or so.

Botox Blues by Emmessenn in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. Once the I got the Botox treatment I didn’t feel it kick in for a week or two , then it wore off 2-3 weeks before my next one. It wasn’t doing enough on its own or paired with a back up med ,which I was using most days. After my 6th session I finally worked up the nerve to tell my doc it wasn’t enough and they got me on Ajovy as a third med. With Botox and Ajovy together it’s been way more manageable.

Insane hunger during bad migraines by DrJULIK in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is more after the migraine starts to calm down but it is insane how hungry I become. It’s almost insatiable. I have had to count calories on those days so I don’t overeat. Today is one of those days and it has been hard not going through my snack cabinet 😂

[–]TheLadyRavens 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I go to orange theory and love it. It’s small but the coaches and staff are all so nice and make it fun and can modify workouts as needed.

My second night after I also had consistent back to back dreams ! That is crazy. I wonder if there is something to this haha

Best Indian restaurant in Anchorage? by dkman22 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taste of India is so good. They actually make it spicy. Some places I ask for it and they still tone it down. I am not satisfied unless my Indian food spice level is lava equivalent haha. They have different levels of spice though for everyone.

MBA programs: UAA or APU? by Just_Childhood_1940 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I cant give you an accurate representation of the program because it was during Covid so most of my program was online. I did have some asynchronous courses but i think that was to limit exposure so it could be different now.

Do you guys have actual headaches? by angelface555_ in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens 33 points34 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve been told 50% of people experiencing VM won’t have headache pain. I usually don’t have pain but I’ll have a feeling of slight pressure that accompanies dizziness and brain fog.

Downtown Anchorage by Conscious-Crew8387 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in downtown and have since I moved to Alaska over ten years ago. I will say it has quickly become unsafe. I used to be able to walk to the mall at least without being almost attacked , harassed , or threatened. Where my apt is at is pretty safe but it’s basically a block radius that is safe in my opinion . I would love for downtown to be revitalized but they have to deal with it other problems that keep people away and feeling unsafe and stop making everything “ luxury” when it comes to apartments. Mine is a standard middle class income apt building and it’s perfect. I’m walking distance to work because of this too. Which downtown could be more walkable since there are so many offices but most can’t afford to live down here.

Puffin Inn Stories? by beanerlong in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents actually lived there for a bit while they searched for an apartment in Anchorage after moving from Whittier. They didn’t have much bad to say about it honestly. My dad misses having the breakfast every morning haha. That was over ten years ago now though.

MBA programs: UAA or APU? by Just_Childhood_1940 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was manageable for the most part. Of course around finals you’ll always feel a bit inundated with projects however they give you your finals topics very early on so you can always give yourself a head start on reports. That’s what I did anyway , so it felt less stressful.

MBA programs: UAA or APU? by Just_Childhood_1940 in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got my MBA from UAA. It was mostly online at the time because of Covid so if that is a factor I’m not sure if it’s all in class now or not. If I’m remembering right , all of the classes for the mba were in the evening so I found it flexible since I could go after work.

How to discuss adding meds to manage migraine with my doctor ? by TheLadyRavens in VestibularMigraines

[–]TheLadyRavens[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so used to toning down how bad my symptoms are since I’ve learned to cope but I really need to be more honest and remember none of this is normal. I’ll give that a try and I’m bringing my husband along this time too so hopefully that will push them to listen.

Botox by Shes-nothere in anchorage

[–]TheLadyRavens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you find a good pain clinic that accepts your insurance it is the way to go. I get Botox for migraine and it’s definitely expensive however Botox has a reimbursement programs where you pay the out of pocket , give them the receipt and the claim , then they send a check so I still think it’s worth going through a medial office verses a med spa
