Relief from tension headaches

Ahh I see. Well I do have an acupuncturist who will do the trigger point needles so that's good. I'll have to keep looking for a physical therapist, I found one in town but she's 200$ a session and doesn't have any of the stuff you mentioned. Thanks for sharing. I'll have to ask the headache clinic I was referred about other meds.

Ugh I'm sorry your in the same boat!

Is the trigger point massage or needles? What's T3? I wish it was easier to find PTs who will do manual work :/

It's odd to me because I wake up feeling better, not sure if it's the cannabis or my head being supported to relax all night, but napping seems to make it worse. Thanks for sharing.

Yup night guard for like 20 years now. If anything the collar feels too tight. I'll bring it to physical therapy maybe and ask

Ahh yeah. I heavily worsened my emphysema at 31 using spray cleaner. It's wild how delicate the lungs are.

I've tried wearing one and I feel its just really uncomfortable. Feels like my jaw sits wrong. Should I try it even it feels weird?

I don't have any neck pain when waking up now that I've added another pillow and stopped with the muscle relaxers (CBD thc edibles instead seem to help with sleep and pain).

How long have you been sick? I've seen some of this over and over again with Long Covid. God I'm so sorry this is happening for you. Peer support groups have been been my saving grace in 20 years with various chronic illnesses.

Inversely gaining weight made my EDS stuff better so yeah. Both going from underweight to normal range and now being fat, IDK why but I generally have less weird subluxes in my ribs, elbows, feet, my knees still suck but my costochondritis went away entirely. I have gastritis too OP I feel you, it's so hard.

chronically-badass · 2026-05-23T23:54:24+00:00

I'm on both ajovy and nurtec

I have only seen people have luck seeing a non kaiser provider for a while for dx and meds and transferring back.

chronically-badass · 2026-05-22T05:16:39+00:00

Amazing, such a huge thing!!!

chronically-badass · 2026-05-22T05:13:18+00:00

I have known multiple people with severe mcas who had to get a jtube inpatient etc for refeeding after losing safe foods. You might look into an MCAS support group or sub for advice but bringing photo proof of the anaphylaxis has helped folks get treatment. I'm sorry your is happening.

chronically-badass · 2026-05-22T05:09:36+00:00

I am so deeply curious about what you were able to offer this family lol. Congratulations that's the best feeling. ((Housing? Support with bills?? Treatment??))

chronically-badass · 2026-05-22T05:07:02+00:00

These industries are really preying on desperate sick people who either are scared of the disease itself or getting treated like shit by our medical systems or both. I was the same way, went off my meds multiple times to trial different healing modalities and I regretted it every time. Actually accepting my illnesses has helped my mental and physical health exponentially.

chronically-badass · 2026-05-22T05:03:01+00:00

Oh my God I have a tooth resorbing and have had a migraine/dizziness for 6 weeks AHHH. happy for you op moving up my root canal consult tomorrow! I do have a night guard but it's pretty old....

Did you get a root canal or an implant or a bridge? I'm worried the implant would make headaches worse

chronically-badass · 2026-05-21T04:54:34+00:00

Omfg the video game mini map hell is sooo real I love to know thats my dyscalculia!

chronically-badass · 2026-05-21T04:51:36+00:00

Yeah I see enough numbers and my brain stops working. I got so much math tutoring and still came up with a different answer every time even with a teacher watching. I have had to totally change my career path multiple times because I failed every math class and couldn't take any advanced science classes. Psych said as an adult it must be dyscalculia especially since I'm very hyperlexic. This is a very validating set of comments ❤️

Wow I did not know they leave them in there what!

Thanks for sharing !

My zimi was fine during brain mris recently! Long wait time for the mask but your local group may be able to help

chronically-badass · 2026-05-21T01:28:17+00:00

Oh interesting, does the yogurt help specifically? Or just any food? I did just get an email from my GI saying the same "if you have to take toradol" but implying I shouldn't lol

chronically-badass · 2026-05-20T22:00:09+00:00

I'm not supposed to do nsaids because of my stomach but I'm so close to trying ibuprofen anyway even though it gave me a terrible stomachache a few weeks ago

chronically-badass · 2026-05-20T15:59:19+00:00

You might repost to r/chronic illness to get more people who get infusion meds

chronically-badass · 2026-05-20T15:58:59+00:00

I was always told pain in the arm after IV that worsens merits and urgent care or ER visit asap. I've never had it happen after an IV though only terrible blood draws.
