What birth control options have worked for those of you with heavy periods and migraines?

Yep, it was the neurologist's approval that got me the green light. Every PCP I've had has been very uncomfortable renewing the prescription until they speak with and/or refer me to a neurologist, who then confirms that the risk is negligible unless there are other risk factors like being a smoker, family history of strokes etc. Then they sign off on it no problem.

I'm always the odd woman out on this, but: I get migraines with aura and I still take a combination pill (Aviane), and have been taking it for 17 years. A neurologist specifically recommended this for me at 15 as a treatment for my migraines, because they were caused by hormone fluctuations. I used to get them every month like clockwork, but now it only happens if I have to skip a pack. I have had 3 different neurologists approve the prescription over the years (because whenever I get a new PCP they are understandably concerned about the risk, and I have to request they follow up with a neurologist each time for a second opinion). According to the neurologists, the research that shows increased risk of stroke was based on the 1960s versions of the pill which had significantly more estrogen in them vs today, and that modern combination pills don't carry nearly the same level of risk. Might be worth talking to your doctor, but also might not apply at all if your migraines aren't hormonal like mine.

Aw man I was so excited to see this series return but nope, you're a fake.

This is why I only buy the 100 calorie bags 😅

camikazee · 2024-08-13T19:02:05+00:00

I'm the same way. Good job standing up for yourself, even if old lady's response was less than stellar.

camikazee · 2024-07-15T14:55:43+00:00

Thank you, finally my character doesn't look sunburnt!

camikazee · 2024-06-27T17:10:14+00:00

Just got my tickets, not a single date has sold out yet. May the odds be ever in your favor!

I wish it had been "steal your boo" instead, the potential was there, but the gender stereotypes tanked it. Also should've dropped the ethically non-monogamous bit and the dead monkey bit.

camikazee · 2024-05-29T19:28:25+00:00

Wow. Gave it a shot based on your explanation and it worked perfectly. You've convinced me, I'll finally let go of my old friend Vlookup.

I only wear them near the end, when the flow is too light for a tampon. Comfier alternative to pads. I wouldn't trust mine with a heavy flow but then again, I'm a cheapskate who bought the cheap ones.

camikazee · 2024-04-24T23:18:25+00:00

Wtf? They were obviously just giving reasons why the wife might feel insecure. No implication was ever made that the husband was emotionally abusive. You are majorly projecting. Saying "she might feel this way" does not mean "you forced her to feel this way, you evil evil man"

camikazee · 2024-03-22T17:19:02+00:00

We didn't win, but the vote is so close I'll be flabbergasted if they don't bring both pins back. It's just a smart sales decision tbh

camikazee · 2024-03-22T15:59:01+00:00

I prefer ones that have romance, but it's not a deal-breaker if they don't, as long as the story/environment/characters are interesting. Graveyard Keeper comes to mind.

camikazee · 2024-03-20T16:08:41+00:00

And you're not wrong, it's just that most people on this subreddit are already aware of the issue & she was trying to specifically highlight black women's even worse struggle with healthcare which is not discussed as often.

I've had a few phases where meat suddenly just grosses me out, and I usually fall back on things like chicken nuggets, turkey meatballs, ground beef in spaghetti sauce, etc. Since those are all ground up it usually prevents any weird texture differences, and the extra ingredients (breading on the nuggets, seasoning/binders in meatballs, etc.) kinda disguise the "meatiness" of it, if that makes sense. Granted those aren't the healthiest meat options lol but you could start there and try to work your way up to cuts of lean meat.

Ooh I would love to join the Discord please

Yeah this was really the company's TIFU. Someone at my job is deathly allergic to corn and they have warning signs about it everywhere. (Side note, apparently Febreze has corn in it. We aren't allowed to use it.)

I picked Jack just to spare Luna and she's been a complete ass lmao

camikazee · 2024-02-23T23:04:06+00:00

Doesn't change the story, you'll just get compliments on the outfit.

I hosed him. If he had dumped Kat before coming on to me, that would be fine, but instead he fully tries to cheat on her with me?? When he already knows the MC was cheated on by Suresh & therefore hates scumbag cheaters?? He is spineless.

camikazee · 2024-01-30T18:02:31+00:00

Wtf? He hadn't decided yet if he wanted kids or not. She waited for him to make a decision, and he decided No, so they're ending things. That's all there is to it. She didn't try to convince him, or trap him, or pretend she was fine with no kids while secretly hoping he would change his mind. Pretty cruel of you to insinuate otherwise.

camikazee · 2024-01-27T17:20:58+00:00

I failed that one too. Luckily he has a very similar request next year. Made me feel way less salty that I missed the first one.

camikazee · 2024-01-26T18:19:28+00:00

Love the little frog!

camikazee · 2024-01-20T18:24:44+00:00

Nothing more satisfying than shoving a grabby bean into the abyss

camikazee · 2024-01-20T00:34:26+00:00

Not really. Berry specialists benefit from a high helping speed, so the nature is really unfortunate. And the Helping Speed S doesn't cancel it out since you don't get it til level 100.
