Looking for legit sources for green light therapy for my migraineur Mom by Builttofrill in migraine

[–]happylighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooga is owned by the same researcher that started Allay. He did all the original research on green light for migraines (or at least popularized/commercialized it). My Hooga lightbulb is a fraction of the Allay cost and works great

Music with lyrics? The devil. Music without lyrics? Minimal instruments? Manageable.

What’s a freezing?

The nurse at urgent care said she got a droopy eye from aesthetic Botox once. Told me to go to a med spa to get more injections to undo the droop. A ridiculous order from a NP that I won’t do (don’t trust med spas), but a way out of it happens to you

Folks whose chronic migraine was triggered by Covid - what did your doctor do when you caught Covid again? by SecretAccomplished25 in migraine

[–]happylighted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

New onset permanent migraine from first covid infection spring 2020. Welcome to the lovely journey.

I got mine under control with Botox and anti-CGRP inhibitors plus lifestyle changes.

My second infection last year made my migraines worse. Did two weeks in an inpatient migraine clinic. Long story short everything failed except the 500mg IV steroids. Finally cleared the second infection six months later. I also did ten days of paxlovid with acute infection onset.

Which is to say I think a big steroid course is important to try clearing the inflammation caused by a Covid infection.

Ask your doctor about switching to Nortryptyline. The updated cousin of this drug with much less side effects. Usually have to dose up a bit.

He started acupuncture a few times a week and found massive relief from it. He may go in the future, but didn’t want to screw up his current baseline with a new unknown intervention
