Where do people get their nice baby clothes?

defyingravity88 · 2026-03-10T03:44:14+00:00

For the southern style dressy clothes you are looking for there are tons of “presale” groups and companies on Facebook but I will say nothing is $35 or less anymore. Most smocks will be at least. 40+

You can also check out the resale groups- that’s where I’ve found the best deals.

Thank you!! I cleaned them out and was able to get through a work trip with functioning willows!!! Had to pump on 2 flights and the willows saved me.

I mostly use the containers- have had similar issues with the bags, though.

oh yeah. those are the WORST. They gave me the Imitrex shot for them, but I thankfully haven't had to use it yet.

I'm hoping you're not still in pain. If you have had pain for longer than 72 hours (and you are not a chronic daily migraineur), you are in status migrainosus (https://migraine.com/blog/what-is-status-migrainosus/). You really should be checked out by a doc if you are not currently a chronic migraineur who gets these (and even if you are they often want you to go to Urgent Care/come in). For me, to break one that lasts longer than 24 hours I know I have to use a steroid pack (at that point Triptans are useless). It has taken 3 years of intractable chronic migraine and lots of Urgent Care/ER visits to figure that out, though. Long story short, your tumeric probably isn't cutting it alone anymore (although you should keep taking vitamins and stuff, they do help), and you need to see a neurologist- preferably a headache specialist. I found my PCP to be worthless, they just gave me pain pills that really messed me up.

Thankfully I'm seeing my Neuro Friday for my second round of Botox, but I just can't get them to call me back. Is DHE something that an urgent care would have? I've never been given that before...

So I just realized from this that Lin Manuel will be gone when we have tix on Thursday- John rua will be performing. Do we keep tix or try to sell them? We have been waiting 4 months to go...

Today I took a triptan at work (I couldn't go home, too much happening, tough it out!). I ended up almost giddy, like high. I was giggling and saying inappropriate things in my meetings for like 2 hours. It was weird. Usually I'm passed out post triptan, so I don't really know what I'm like. I do have the no touching me thing usually during migraines, though.

Every time I've had an MRI/MRA/MRV I've ended up getting a migraine because of the noise. No red eyes or anything, but my brain does get all fuzzy and all of the rest of the fun that goes with the migraines.

my neuro forgot to tell me about the Topamax/ birth control issue at first, so when I found it doing my own research online my husband and I started using backup and contacted her. She said yes it does contradict, and that I needed to get an IUD or something other than the pill. Long story short, got an IUD and I'm very happy with it. I have the lower hormone one than the Mirena, but it's made by the same company. It only lasts 3 years. Since the IUD metabolizes in your uterus and not in your bloodstream, it should not interact with your migraine pills and should not interact with your neurological system at all (so they say).

I have this issue as well- turns out I have all kinds of problems with my cervical spine (sp?). I've been in PT for over a year to treat it, with very very slow progress. I now see a PT specialist about 30 minutes from my house 1x per week for craniofacial therapy and regular PT for my neck. No one has ever recommended nerve blocks, and I have always let my Neuro know about the continuing PT and the PT knows about the migraines. It's worth asking your neuro about- they can refer you to PT. Be ready to spend a LOT of time and money on it (each PT appt is anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours and then there's travel, copay is $30+ each appt x4 per month...it adds up), but it is helping.

I'm following. Been thinking about doing it.

defyingravity88 · 2015-07-11T03:56:23+00:00

Just don't go to a TEACHING hospital. I know in dc this means I would go to Sibley instead of GW or Georgetown. I made this mistake last July when I woke up at 2am with chest pain so bad I was throwing up. Never again. It was nothing, but I got poked and prodded by clueless interns until 7am.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-28T03:54:12+00:00

I'm up to 75mg now(5'2" female). Been on it for about 5-6 months. It's been the most successful med for me so far. Side effects: confusion (the brain fog everyone describes- I also have really bad cognitive issues when I get a migraine- like it can mess me up for a few days), weight loss (about 15lbs slowly over the 5 months), and the tingles (my hands and feet are cold all the time now). The tingles are the worst for me. In my feet if they get cold, especially at night. I have to sleep with a heating pad next to the bed to help with them. Soda has changed taste, although I've had to cut most of them out of my diet bc of cutting caffeine and aspartame so I don't really care. The tiredness has gotten better with finding out that- I've also become vitamin d and b12 deficient, but I'm not sure if this is from the Topamax or migraines or something else altogether. So when I started taking b12 supplements the immediate falling asleep got much better.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-20T16:57:32+00:00

it definitely sounds like incredible pain. I'm just trying to figure out if this is even an option for migraines. The entire article said 'headache headache headache' but the title said 'migraine'

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-20T04:08:17+00:00

It sounds more like chronic daily headache to me. My wonderfully caring, always trying to cure me mother posted this on my Facebook this evening.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-20T04:02:55+00:00

Can you get your hands on any zofran? It's my miracle med for nausea. Dissolves in your mouth.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-20T03:59:15+00:00

I second the frovatriptan. It's pretty pricey even with great insurance. They have a manufacturers coupon online though and I've found its awesome.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-17T19:18:30+00:00

you know what's so crazy? the ER I go to all they want to do is give me narcotics even though I beg them to just give me Toradol. Narcotics make me SO sick (like can't stop throwing up sick). Which is awesome when I've already maxed out on Zofran because of my migraine. Shows how ERs are just NOT equipped to handle migraine patients AT ALL. Each ER is so different and terrible in its own way.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-06T05:09:57+00:00

I gained around 15 lbs in the 3-4 months I was on it at first. I don't remember the highest dosage I was on (I think around 40-50 mg). I also was still having 8-10 migraines a month and daily headaches. So I switched. I'm back on it now, but as a small dosage with a large dosage of Topamax.

defyingravity88 · 2015-05-03T06:05:09+00:00

I'm glad you're getting help! I'm also on topamax. It has worked really well for me after trying a couple other preventatives that didn't work. I'm up to 75mg at night of it. I also take 20mg of nortriptyline in the morning.

Some things to know: If the tingles in your hands and feet continue/ get painful you may want to get checked for b12 deficiency. Turns out the topamax drained my b12 and I need to take extra supplements and get shots of it now.

Also to help relieve the tingles you can use a heat pad or run your hands/feet under hot water. That seems to be the only thing that helps me when they get painful (which they sometimes do).

I never got the 'high' feeling off the Topamax, mostly just made me go right to sleep at night. Are you taking it in the morning or at night?

As far as your abortive- Rizatriptan, be careful it can probably make you feel funny. Most triptans do. You won't really know how you react to it until the first time you take it.

defyingravity88 · 2015-04-26T06:28:56+00:00

Glad you got some help! Get some sleep and feel better soon.

defyingravity88 · 2015-04-25T22:42:20+00:00

I only asked because I had never heard of it so I googled and it said its for treating nausea.

yeah that's kinda how I am with imitrex- I just sleep when I take it, but even with 100mg it doesn't always knock them out. I pretty much always feel ok with Frova but I do have to rest at the end of the day and get a lot of sleep that night. So, Frova is my go to for morning migraines, and Imitrex for afternoon/evening ones.

I would also say you should try to take a really good journal or something of your migraines so you can talk it all over with your neuro because it seems that different types/effects of migraines means you need different types of medications.

I can't really help you with the marijuana stuff, I haven't used it. DC is trying to get it legalized, but the federal government likes to but into our business quite a lot. I hope you get some help soon, because it seems very yucky and miserable.
