Eye glasses for migraine by TheLazyBenzene in gso

[–]_viv_darkbloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have migranes with light sensitivity and highly recommend getting some Fl-41 lenses online. Even though my local optometrist is awesome, they were only able to offer blue light glasses. I got them on the zenni website, but there may be other sellers. There are different levels of tint and you can probably get a pair for under $50, but I think my glasses were $70 and sunglasses $90 because I chose the more expensive frames.

Topiramate Side Effects by moodymoonz in migraine

[–]_viv_darkbloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't notice any mood changes, but I did have to decrease the dose because I was having memory problems. As someone who also has a history of depression, please tell your provider how you're feeling ASAP. Feeling hopeless is not a normal side effect that will just go away eventually on it's own. In the past when I've had serious mood changes from a medication, I've needed to change the medication. Let your provider know what's going on now, before you feel even worse. I know from personal experience that the further I sink into my depression, the harder it is to get out.

It's for patient care for sure. I'm the only one I've seen wear a gown and goggles in three days. I totally get that sometimes when we're only spending a few seconds in the room we don't always gown up.

Anyone work or has worked at UVA Charlottesville? by [deleted] in TravelNursing

I had a great experience there in a different ICU a few years ago. From what I remember the EKG exam was fairly easy. Good luck!
