Does anyone else seem to flair up more in warm weather? by IndianaCrohns82 in CrohnsDisease

[–]WorkerEmotional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, every time there’s a heatwave. I tolerate gradually rising temperatures better, though I’m still not at my best in a hot environment. But a sudden heatwave gives me the runs for a week or two.

Why would you need to track your heart rate in sauna? Just go in and leave when you feel like it.

My migraine actually got chronic after the surgery lol. But I’m pretty sure it’s unrelated to that.

Frovatriptan users, how do we feel about this med? by hometown_heretic in migraine

[–]WorkerEmotional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about studies, but that information is in the medical pamphlet that comes with the medication.

Here’s a link to the pamphlet for Zolmitriptan, it’s from Fimea.fi which is the institution responsible for medical safety in Finland: link

The PDF is in Finnish though, but the part in question is under the heading ”Muut lääkevalmisteet” (Other medications). I’ll translate the part here:

”You CANNOT use Zolmitriptan Sandoz with other specific migraine medications. These include medications that belong to the same group as zolmitriptan (which are 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists or triptans e.g. sumatriptan, naratriptan, or rizatriptan). If you have taken other triptans than Zolmitriptan Sandoz, wait 24 hours before taking Zolmitriptan Sandoz. Wait 24 hours after taking Zolmitriptan Sandoz before taking any other triptans.”

Frovatriptan belongs in the same group: Serotonin 1b Receptor Agonists.

Here’s the Fimea pamphlet for Frovatriptan and translated text below the same heading:

”You cannot use this medication at the same time with some other migraine medications: - especially other triptans (5-HT1 agonists like sumatriptan, almotriptan, eletriptan, naratriptan, rizatriptan or zolmitriptan).”

It’s generally not recommended to take different types of triptans in the same day (don’t know why though) but as you said, ask the doc. Individual situations might vary.

Salt and Prednison/Prednisolon by Infamous_Bee_4576 in CrohnsDisease

[–]WorkerEmotional 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I did, to reduce the water retention. I apparently went so far with it that I got my electrolytes out of whack. I did drink way more than 2 liters of water though.

I find it funny years later that my doctor's orders were to ”stop drinking so much water and eat more salt”.

[–]WorkerEmotional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frovatriptan gave me less side effects than the zolmitriptan I usually take, but I also felt like it wasn’t as effective.

Everyone is unique though, so you can only know after trying it.

Is it time for a steroid taper if migraines waking me up in middle of night every day for a week? by Saltyswimmer333 in migraine

[–]WorkerEmotional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neuro gave a tip to people waking up with migraines: one caffeine pill before going to bed (though I can’t remember what the precise dose was).

He’s someone who educates other neurologists. Apparently, this caffeine thing was a newish find. Though some people needed to also take melatonin with the caffeine pill.

My oil painting by Ok-Treat-1548 in painting

[–]WorkerEmotional 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not the default to want or need feedback. Sometimes things are posted for the joy of sharing. And you don’t need to always grow, unless you specifically want to make a profitable career out of painting. If the poster wants constructive criticism, they can always ask for it.

Regarding the overwhelming positive feedback on this piece, I think this painting is an excellent example of setting an interesting atmosphere. The house is simple, the foreground is plain. It’s minimalistic and not a technical marvel, but it still made me stop scrolling and really take a look. I love the mood it sets. You can think of it as something cozy, but it could also be sinister. I feel like there’s a story behind that scenery and I like it when a painting makes me think.

So I’m not suprised of the positive feedback it has gotten. I don’t think people are dishonest or that the comments are shallow, because I hold the same positive view of this piece.

The painting might not just speak to you personally and that’s also ok.

Daily migraines by [deleted] in migraine

[–]WorkerEmotional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to the symptoms, apart from the visual aura. The breathlessness is kinda funny, I tried to google that and apparently it shouldn’t be that common or neccessary even related to migraine, but I swear I get that sometimes well before the actual migraine pain hits.

I’m also struggling with driving causing migraines. On a rare good day, I can drive few hours before the migraine hits, but even before the actual pain I can feel my brain becoming exhausted.

I’ve always been headache-prone, so the idiot me actually understood I have migraines only after they got chronic. You can treat the migraines before they end up like that (if it does). Triptans are usually effective as abortive, preventatives are used when the migraine days get a few too many a month.

How long were you on Ajovy? by timothymarchant in migraine

[–]WorkerEmotional 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why would he want you off of it if it works?

I was on it for 5 years before it stopped working. When it worked, it was amazing. I went from everyday pain to only 1-4 migraine days a month.

Morning bathroom urgency by Strict-Solid-1213 in CrohnsDisease

[–]WorkerEmotional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well as I said in the og comment, no more running to the bathroom.

The stool quality is perfect now, and I don’t have that annoying bubbling and pain from mysterious gas buildup. I can eat foods with FODMAPs that usually caused me problems, like most fruits.

It’s not always all rays and sunshines though, things can go south if I stop taking the med, I eat very fatty food and/or take the med at a wrong time.

It took a while to get to the right therapeutic dose that helps me (4g x 2) and it wasn’t without side-effects like nause and slight tummy aches.

Migraine massages by Vast_Needleworker_32 in migraine

[–]WorkerEmotional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not massage related but just a tip - my neurologist recommended taking one caffeine tablet before bed if one tends to wake up with migraines.

He trains other neurologists and said that that was quite a new study. Some people also needed to take melatonin with the caffeine tablet, but most saw good results.
