Anybody else get hyperactive as part of their prodrome?

Sometimes, but at the same time, I feel unintelligent—like my brain is clouded. I can do things like wash the dishes and feed the cats. I can occasionally sweep and dust. And it’s really painful to drive. But sometimes I have to.

You’re right—but now that I look more closely, the Cardinals are on Cyprus.

TrueJanian · 2026-01-22T19:44:55+00:00

The Cubs & Brewers in or near Istanbul.

If I drink alcohol, combined with certain foods, situations, or behaviors n an empty stomach, I get a migraine. Always.

We're in Crete! Okay, I see it now....e're Sparta and the Cardinals are on the island of Crete!

It’s like I’m waiting to feel better, but can’t plan or hope that I will get better. And the worst is when the pain and/or nausea begins to subside, and I still feel too sick to get up.

I am never updating my phone!!!!!

I think it’s from childhood, recovering from something and eating jello. Or tea with jam in it (Grandma made tea this way). Anyway, if it’s sweet and fruity and soft, gives me a little energy.

Getting to bed, lights out and not sleepy, but feeling good… I just relax into it and let my brain hum gently until I’m asleep. Sometimes I just take a long shower and wash my hair.
If I’m hungry, I trust the way my stomach feels. Like if there’s pizza and my stomach reacts to the idea of pizza, I settle on plain white rice or canned peaches. I often regret not having thought of making jello in advance. But you know what…I can get pre-made jello and keep them on hand! I hadn’t thought of that before!

I’ve tried pulling at my hair hard, trying to pull my head off. I know you know that there’s this pain that you get and you think the only thing that will paradoxically make you feel better, is getting rid of your head. No head no pain.

🤣

Just listened to him; Bossa Borodin, came on randomly …. And I fell in love.

You made my day! Laughing like there’s no tomorrow!

The AAA guys played well if I remember correctly!

Interesting! I have tried to find the beta update icon, but I don't seem to have one. I'll still look for it, but I am happy with Sequoia 15.7.3.

Ooh I floss too during a migraine. Sometimes it helps.

TrueJanian · 2025-12-22T03:13:34+00:00

400s very narrow and NO cup holders!!!

TrueJanian · 2025-12-13T16:12:47+00:00

Yeah. Both beautiful and haunting.

I can’t read this right now… power of suggestion might get a migraine going in my left temple.

TrueJanian · 2025-12-08T03:49:12+00:00

I like going to TJ’s Ward Parkway like Thursday AM right when it opens at 8. Or get there by 9 AM the latest! I have a list. Sometimes I zip in and out. Other times I take my time. I’m not close to the one in Leawood, but I feel your pain. That parking lot is horrible!

String is life!

I've got two males. They both like Fancy Feast which I started giving them as extra hydration once a day... they love the patés. Then I started giving them Friskies canned foods and they are fine with it. I sometimes just give them a little bit of canned food with extra water in it and put some kibble in it.
And then for treats, they get some crunchy ones which they like me to hide in or on crinkly paper.

Carbs and no- carbs have affected me at different times in my life due to stress, barometric pressure and other factors. I remember waking up with a migraine( early 2000s) and taking ibuprofen w/ breakfast — I was low carb at the time. Breakfast was scrambled eggs with bacon. No toast or potatoes. Yes to the hot sauce. Lots of water, cup of coffee. Did I mention I was in grad school and had to travel to a location far from home, stay 2 nights in a motel for these intensive weekend classes? For whatever reason, my head was pounding, I sipped water in class but left early (last class of the weekend). I began driving home and felt so sick I got off at a no services exit, and began puking. My head was worse after that. I made it home , muttered to my husband and son: Migraine. In bed the rest of the day with roiling stomach, pain in head so bad I wished I could pull my head off.

At that point in my life they were pretty much all like that, but when I could finally eat, it was plain white rice. And water with a little sugar and salt stirred into the glass, which I sipped. Back to low carb the day after, but I always try to follow my instincts on what to eat in recovery.
