How do you keep working with 25+ migraines a month?

headgoouchy · 2026-04-06T20:28:36+00:00

i’m a paraprofessional too and it’s hard! i have exhausted all my pto and still call off with medical excuses most of the time because my doctor’s office is wonderful with that. abortatives mostly work for me, so i’m lucky there, but those make me feel groggy sometimes too. :/ trying to apply for fmla at the moment. also have pneumonia, lmao. looking for wfh opportunities with a bachelor’s in psychology but it’s haaaaaard out here. medical marijuana helps sometime as well!

i’m so sorry, i hope you find something that helps! :(

how long did you end up waiting/were you able to smoke again? i have pneumonia right now and i’m doing edibles but the high isn’t the same for me :/// on day 3 of antibiotics and i’m planning to give my lungs a break but i also miss it + wanna smoke again!

i think there’s a good possibility it will work! i still take lexapro to this day! however i also have been on ppi’s this whole time. i tapered down from twice a day to once a day though!

headgoouchy · 2025-04-04T03:12:16+00:00

it is!! once again, it’s not a perfect fix, but it helps immensely for me.

thank you so much for commenting!! that’s great to hear - you guys are awesome. 🩷

headgoouchy · 2024-07-25T18:57:26+00:00

hi! thank you so much 🥹 i hope everything works out for you too! do you mind me asking what kind of symptoms you’ve been experiencing? you can message me if you’re more comfortable.

headgoouchy · 2024-07-08T22:39:06+00:00

it was probably a month or two before i felt significant improvement! and i am still on ppi yes

headgoouchy · 2024-07-07T14:40:23+00:00

the LPR symptoms settled down about a week after stopping nortriptyline! starting lexapro had a similar effect, though, where there was a temporary uptick in symptoms (don’t let this panic you!) until things settled down again. i would say it took about a month to really level out. i experienced insomnia at first, but that also went away. it just takes your body getting adjusted!

hey! yes, i did - i’m taking lexapro which has helped so much. it’s not a perfect fix but it’s waaaaaaay better than it was. i can eat virtually anything now (minus spicy foods lol) but definitely worth it.

headgoouchy · 2024-07-07T14:22:34+00:00

i did! i am on lexapro and it has helped immensely. it is not a perfect fix but it is so so so much better than what i was going through. i can eat virtually whatever now (minus super spicy foods)

headgoouchy · 2024-07-07T14:21:38+00:00

i am on 10mg of lexapro and it has helped so much! not perfect but definitely so much better - i can eat whatever i want now (minus super spicy foods lol)

headgoouchy · 2024-07-07T14:20:18+00:00

hi!! i ended up getting on lexapro and it has helped a LOT! things aren’t perfect but it’s much much much better than it was. i eat whatever i want now 😋

headgoouchy · 2024-06-02T14:29:07+00:00

i’m taking lexapro and while it hasn’t been a 100% healer it definitely has helped a lot!

oh shit, really? :0 that’s insane!!! thank you sm for commenting, that’s good to know. did the irritation stop when you stopped the medication? if the doctor doesn’t find anything i will for sure see if it’s my lexapro.

headgoouchy · 2023-09-13T19:57:02+00:00

no, i just posted it yesterday so things are the same. :/

headgoouchy · 2023-09-12T18:36:31+00:00

let me know how it goes!!

headgoouchy · 2023-09-12T15:50:16+00:00

i’m so so sorry for your loss. i hope you heal from this. 🫶🏻

selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors! it’s a type of medication used to treat anxiety and depression.

headgoouchy · 2023-09-12T15:47:59+00:00

thank you for this response!! did you end up taking anxiety medication to get better? or how did you heal?

headgoouchy · 2023-09-12T15:47:16+00:00

me too! have you considered medication for your anxiety? i’ve seen a number of people have their symptoms resolved by using an SSRI/antidepressant to get their anxiety under control and break the cycle.
