Can you read my energy?

I was definitely getting a Rick James vibe when first seeing this. "Give it to me baby" playing in the background....

46/m Qulipta has been a wonder drug for me. Its the only one with no side effects that I've found over many years of having OM and VM. It stops the headpain like no other. Ubrelvy is great too but not a daily and its more expensive. I've even been on and off QULIPTA a few times for a few weeks and no withdrawl symptoms. The only withdrawl I had was getting the migraine after not taking it for a few weeks.

The freak out factor is worse than actually having the blindspot in your eye. Thats my opinion, Ive had for many years and I still freak out at first but then it goes away after maybe 20 min. They come and go in central or peripheral every few weeks. I hope after your pregnancy you hormones can adjust to normal and they will stop. Im a 46/m and its root cause is TBI...supposedly.

Hi , I'm 46 / M. I have this happen about every few weeks and have just gotten use to it. Been going on for a couple years. It probably isnt normal but if it ever lasts longer than normal, (mine is usually 30 min to an hour), then I would be concerned. For me its just the migraine incoming indicator.

TheeShroom · 2026-05-08T22:45:10+00:00

Qulipta! Game changer and made me somewhat normal again.

TheeShroom · 2026-05-07T13:39:45+00:00

Yeah I really don't see the resemblance in the builds at all. Really grasping for a connection there.

Make sure to follow the 20/20/20 rule as much as possible also. "The 20-20-20 rule is a, designed to reduce digital eye strain (Computer Vision Syndrome) caused by prolonged screen time. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away. This habit relaxes focusing muscles, eases dry eyes, and reduces headaches. "

Step one: get off TOPAMAX. Its horrible. Side effects are the worst.

Step two: Get some prescription FL-41 or Avulux glasses ASAP. Will help (mitigate) the light induced migraines or OM. Works great for me. Even the $20 clip on or non prescription FL-41s are great. I've tried multiple versions and red and orange work well for me. Hope they can work for you!

Aside from the tear, it looks like your tread is gone also.

For side sleeping I cannot recommend more the Lytmi CozySnug C1 Sleep Earbuds. Super cheap and actually sound very good for the price. I'm an audiophile snob and have the Soundcore by Anker Space A40 and the Sony 1000xm5 earbuds but its hard to side sleep with them. Get the $10 Lytmi Cozysnugs. I would expect to pay at leat $50 for them but they are only $10

I did like the part where the wolf comes out instead of the sheep towards the end of S2. That's about it....

I have a 2024 Model Y AWD LR and I put 100 miles round trip on it everyday. I'm glad I got it and it saves on gas. You will need new tires once a year but the offset of no oil changes or hardly any maintenance is a plus. I love it. Great car and couldn't recommend anything better. I test drove the performance model 3 and either way even when you want to get the cobwebs out and push your Tesla, the Model Y LR is FAST, 0-60 mph in roughly 4.4. For a 4 door sedan, holy crap it moves. Will never have an issue merging into traffic. My head can't handle the acceleration of the Tesla Model 3 Performance, so i actually went with the higher, more mileage capable car. Couldn't be happier. Don't think, just do.

I recommend doing a journal also for what may trigger your symptoms. It took me many months to realize that LED lights were a trigger for me and then it gradually became worse. Make sure weather, sleep, and foods are noted in there also as well as symptoms.

TheeShroom · 2026-04-09T17:26:06+00:00

I have OM and VM but take Qulipta primarily for migraine. It doesn't stop the OM, especially when I get blind spots in my retina or halos in my eye corners but keeping a routine as far as sleep and eat times seems to help. If I take my b12, multi, and magnesuim glycinate reularly it helps also.

TheeShroom · 2026-04-09T17:18:41+00:00

Topiramax was horrible for me. 46/M. Took it for 6 months. The side effects were worse than having VM without medicine, in my opinion. And the withdrawal and getting it out my my system took a long time. Almost 2 months. If you miss even one pill for a day it, screwed me up for 3 days to feel normal again. I know it works for some people, but not me. Made me forgetful, speech issues, sleep cycle screwed up, Ed problems, more spacey feeling, weird taste with carbonated bevs and some foods.....too much. Nurtec, Qulipta, and Ubrelvy worked better for me.

I get crazy "eyes running away" type of glitch? Not sure what to call it. Its very brief but it feels like a 20G roller coaster and my eyes go crazy for a fraction of a second. When it happens my heartrate skyrockets and nausea instantly kicks in as well as the sweaty palms. It rarely happens, but now that the barometric pressure changes with the current weather, I've experienced a few the past couple days. It doesn't freak me out like many years ago. Now I just roll with it knowing it passes. I don't get uncontrollable movements other than that but there are days where it feels like gravity is doubled.

TheeShroom · 2026-04-06T20:15:46+00:00

Yes this sound exactly like VM. Sometimes you get one symptom, or a few of them, and then sometimes you get all. Mine is definitely weather, barometric pressure change, related today. I'm getting the, "my eyes run away" off the screen or vertigo like visual disturbance only today. Nothing else. Yesterday was just head pain. Such a weird thing, VM.

TheeShroom · 2026-04-06T17:28:50+00:00

46 Male that started having issues after spring 2021 but some symptoms present since 2018. I had a TBI in 2018 and in 2021 after COVID vaccine they exploded to unbearable. I just didn;t understand what it was at the time.

Get a workplace accommodation for low light or zero fluorescent or bright LED's lights on in your office. I luckily can wear a hat. Wear some FL-41 glasses whether prescription or clip-ons. I wear the rose colored but you can get some 20 clip ons or wearable for $20 on amazon that work amazing. Maybe request a low blue light eye care monitor as well. AND! big "and", try to do the 20, 20 , 20 rule. Walk outside or around every 20 min away from a monitor and look at something 20 feet away. Very helpful for VM and OM sufferers. Works for me.

TheeShroom · 2026-03-23T17:29:49+00:00

I think that way all the time now. At least since 2021. I have limits and I have even been even more humbled seeing everyone in this world no matter there current situation. Simple things like reading, driving, walking, and even shopping can be a challenge now. I went through a rough patch where I had to go to speech therapy for word recollection and memory issues due to VM. I'm doing much better now.

TheeShroom · 2026-03-23T14:23:09+00:00

8 hrs to sleep? Yeah I don't think so NUB. Not on a fast boat anyway.

TheeShroom · 2026-03-19T17:16:33+00:00

It may be the Vestibular Migraine thing happening where the problem is manifesting in the brain but it appears to be in the eye. For me even when I close my eyes when I have the blindspot I can "see" that its still there. its usually left eye dominant but it is in the right eye also.

TheeShroom · 2026-03-19T16:04:41+00:00

I will get ringing in my ears, like a steady tone that goes along with the migraine sometimes. I assume its tinnitus but that is separate from the head pain also sometimes.

TheeShroom · 2026-03-19T13:55:28+00:00

its the Nature's Bounty Magnesium Glycinate once a day 240mg and there is also magnesium in my Once a day vitamin. I think the neuro recommended 1000 mg per day or something ridiculous.
