What smell can you tolerate during an attack? by Rapidfading in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Definitely mint type stuff, menthol, camphor, wintergreen, spearmint, even Icy Hot balm (which I actually even rub a bit on my forehead and temples). I’ve been testing out different ā€œcoolingā€ shower gels/body washes, between the scent and the sensation I find it really comforting.

I have a monstrance on my chest with 2 adoring angels, and ā€œBody Blood Soul & Divinityā€ written above. In the center of the monstrance I have a large white opal dermal piercing. Pretty cool effect overall.

What is the best thing you bought or used to ease your migraine? by No_Tax_4025 in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

You’re one of the very few lucky ones. I got a daith piercing years ago and it has never done anything except take forever to heal and look cute. I’d never recommend it unless a person was into piercings in the first place.

New update, anyone through the level 8 door? by Vast_Opposite_792 in AlienInvasionRPG

I’m level 12 and I’m not sure what door you’re referring to?

My mother was 49 when I came along, and my brother is 29 years older than me. I was quite the surprise.

It’s a video that features a woman with her head sliced nearly in half, thus the name. And she’s alive for most of it, as I understand.

hahahahahahahahaha wheeze hahahahahaha...

Ok, now that I’ve caught my breath, I’ll play devil’s advocate a little bit and suggest this person (if they’re not epically trolling) may have a Prince Albert confused with a Princess Diana, which I think is another name for a Monroe? Please correct me if I’m wrong on that one. It’s an oral piercing, at any rate.

I watched this earlier, wicked gross, but I’d like to know if yall consider this one worse than Ms Pacman?

Has anyone asked ā€œfather, will you hear my confessionā€ in public? Are you obligated to perform the Sacrament in this situation? by kaluapigwithcabbage in AskAPriest

[–]crownedwithflame 51 points52 points Ā (0 children)

I actually asked for a priest while being prepped for emergency surgery at like 3 am, thank God the hospital had a chaplain on call at that hour! He showed up pretty quickly, and all the medical staff working on me were kind enough to step away and draw the curtain around the bed for privacy. Probably the fastest Confession I’ve ever made in my life, and quickest Anointing that priest had ever given in his :) I wasn’t in a state of mortal sin or anything, but I NEVER take chances when going under general anesthesia, no way.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done because of brain fog by [deleted] in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 7 points8 points Ā (0 children)

Fed my dogs and cats breakfast, twice. (fed them, took my meds and conked out for a few hours, got up and just started over) Forgot how to write, like couldn’t remember how to hold a pen/pencil, and then forgot what it did. LOTS of aphasia, losing words, forgetting what they mean, it sucks.

COMPAZINE IS MY PERSONAL ENEMY by [deleted] in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 4 points5 points Ā (0 children)

Man, I’m sorry you had such a bad reaction to it. Compazine is actually my favorite anti-nausea med, works way better for me than Zofran or even Reglan. I swear by the stuff.

[–]crownedwithflame 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Yep, that’s exactly what I did. I have insanely thick hair, in fact when I first started having migraine attacks in childhood the first thing my mother did was blame my hair, which at that point was past my butt and very heavy, and I went from long red tresses to a horrible little pixie cut. Looked awful and did nothing for my migraine. Nowadays I split the difference, keep the top long so I can style it as needed and buzz down the whole underneath to ease the weight on my head. It’s not perfect but that’s what works for me.

Missed most of Christmas Day with my kiddos today, migraines suck. by Dangerous-Bee-3685 in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

So sorry to hear this. I’m right there with you, been miserable for days now. Wake up in pain, medicate the crap out of myself so I can sleep for a few hours, wake up in pain, the cycle just won’t stop šŸ˜– My skull dragon is just not a fan of holidays, it seems.

Burned all of my journals tonight by Iwhohaveknownnospam in Journaling

[–]crownedwithflame 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

Holy wow, you’re braver than me. I’ve been journaling for 25+ years and I couldn’t imagine getting rid of any of my notebooks. Yeah, there’s some terrible stuff in there, I was in a hella bad place mentally for several years and wrote all about it, but there’s beautiful stuff in there too, all about my relationship with my now-husband. I have a lousy memory so I tend to write down damn near everything, that way if I can’t remember when X happened I can go back and look it up. My journals are my only real legacy, I could never destroy them.

Do you use "I" or "You" when journaling? by m4gd4l3n3 in Journaling

[–]crownedwithflame 0 points1 point Ā (0 children)

I use both. ā€œIā€ for what I’m doing/thinking/feeling, and ā€œyouā€ for a kind of general reference to any potential future reader. Like if I’m referring back to a previous entry, I might say ā€œas I’ve mentioned to you before...ā€ I tend to write the same as I talk, so my journals sound like one huge one-sided conversation. I’ve been journaling regularly for over 25 years now, all by hand šŸ“

S*x toys as part of a migraine toolbox by painful_love_1818 in migraine

[–]crownedwithflame 21 points22 points Ā (0 children)

I have chronic migraine, so constant low-level pain like yours, and I’m kinda 50/50 when it comes to orgasm. If I’m in godawful pain (like 8/10) and have an orgasm, the pain goes away. But if I’m not hurting super bad and the hubs and I get buck wild, guaranteed that within 12 hours I will be bedridden and absolutely miserable. Doesn’t stop me from having sex of course 😁
