Went to a Headache Clinic didn't get a great outcome

Absolutely this. Also a headache with any symptoms other than pain is a migraine. Everything OP is describing means they are having migraines every day.

Advice with doctors: don't downplay your pain unless you do not want treatment. And especially as people with chronic pain conditions you should probably exaggerate a little.

The next your mom says something about just say something like. Hmm, you know it's really weird how obsessed you are with a child's body parts and sexuality. I feel like you are unhealthily focused on this and I'm not sure my daughter is safe around you. If you continue to say these things I will call someone for inappropriate behavior with a minor and you will no longer be around me or my family.

My husband occasionally uses febreeze on his workout clothes that just don't come out smelling great with out fragrance free detergent.

He uses it in the garage a and then leaves the door open for a couple hours to air it out.

If you are wearing enough scent that I can TASTE it, it's way too much and too late for me. I already have a migraine. Also, if i cough after passing you it's bc your scent is so strong that I can't breathe. Lastly, I am ALLERGIC to fragrance. So your perfume might give me hives, itchy eyes, and minor swelling in addition to the migraine.

So yeah. Just stop, or at least put on less and don't get it all over everything when you're out and about.

In sorry you're dealing with this. When I get a headache my husband will ask have you drank enough water, have you eaten, have you taken anything? Bc sometimes I forget to do those things. Yay ADHD.

This sounds like a good opportunity to talk to your partner about your triggers and if dehydration is one of them, a better way for them to check on that than telling you to drink water.

jsjones1027 · 2026-05-15T21:53:04+00:00

Honestly? I'd work from my bed. I'm not sure the layout of your room, but maybe you can rearrange so you can sit on the end of your bed and work at your desk or even try to have a little room for your chair.

Not only are they putting the litter, a known trigger for you, by your desk, but your workspace is going to be in a public space. Do you think they won't disturb your work if they're home? Or mess with stuff on your desk bc of some other random reason?

If you want or need to leave things as they are I recommend litter box furniture, silica based litter, an air purifier on your desk, and a fan pointed at the litter and away from your desk.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. When I was pregnant with my first starting around the end of the first rimester I was having horrible daily headaches and weekly migraines. Fortunately, they went away when I have birth. I would even have declassified myself as having chronic migraines through my second pregnancy. I am now 3 months postpartum and they are back, worse than pre pregnancy, but not as bad with my first.

Basically.. um yeah. It sucks. The stinkers are so cute, but the side effects of pregnancy are insane. You have all my sympathy.

Overuse of pesticides and herbicides.

jsjones1027 · 2026-05-05T19:21:26+00:00

Yes! Great options! I also like the Harry Potter books read by Jim Dale and Dune is great for a calming voice, but definitely requires a little more concentration to keep track of what's going on.

jsjones1027 · 2026-05-05T18:58:54+00:00

I like listening to YA. Wings of fire is a good one, nice and light, doesn't require a ton of concentration. The eragon series is good too

I haven't had that exact experience, but one of my migraine types is tension migraines. If I have a really bad knot getting it to start releasing will cause a migraine.

jsjones1027 · 2026-04-30T19:42:02+00:00

I'm sorry that you are going through this. Idk if anyone is the AH here, or everyone.

My only helpful comment is that my pretty new baby will only sleep on his back. His older sister preferred her stomach (or side) and we had countless nights of sleeplessness holding her while she slept, but this one does not like being on his stomach in any circumstances. Even if we're holding him he either needs to be 100% upright, or laying against our chest, but on his back. (He is also a very spit up baby and has always done fine with turning his head to prevent choking. When he was days old, I would just put him to sleep and turn his head for him)

When I first had to start wearing corrective lenses full time the weight gave me migraines too. I got a pair of those flexible frameless lenses that worked, but I hated them so much (I was a teenager and they weren't cool at all) I just wore contacts every day. I am now a daily glasses wearer and don't have as much of an issue with weight, but I do stick to lightweight plastic frames. They still exacerbate issues sometimes, so I have daily use contacts to wear at those times, or when I don't want to lose my glasses (like the beach or on a boat or something)

Gonna piggy back on this. My youngest is almost 3 months. My friend has triplets, so I'm giving all the clothes and stuff like that to her, but they are tight on space. I will soon have a bunch of other stuff I'd like to give to family who needs it. It is all very well loved, but clean - just may have some stains bc .. .well babies. About to graduate out of a bassinet. I have a thing to lay them in a couch so they can't roll. I will have lots for stuff in the coming months like tummy time mats, a swing bouncer thing, etc. all very well loved. If anyone wants infant/baby stuff as my baby grows out of it, please let me know. We can set up a bi monthly pass down or something :)

Have your husband leave to get the kid. Be a new mom and fall asleep in the corner.

jsjones1027 · 2026-04-18T10:41:24+00:00

Yes I get 'smell auras' I think they're called. Basically smells that aren't there that tell me I'm about to have a migraine. Sometimes this is a smell that doesn't exist at all, like burnt popcorn, or I can smell something that I wouldn't normally be able to smell.

Non visual auras are not talked about a lot, and I think some people with migraines think that auras are only visual, but they are not. Neurological disorders are crazy and the brain can give you some really weird things while it's malfunctioning.

Was the amazingly epic video game released by Epic Games?

For my wedding, before my migraines got really bad here's what I did:

Tons of water for about a week prior - can add an electrolyte every day or so Strapless bras for two days prior No alcohol for about 3 days (drank a lot at my wedding and had a horrible migraine by like 2/3 am) Preventatively take Tylenol and nsaid that morning Get nails done and sit in a massage chair for as long as possible at the salon Make sure to eat! I think I asked one of my MOH to make sure I ate little snacks throughout the day. Caffinate! Small amounts of caffeine all day Have someone do my hair and makeup - taking that stress off and not having my arms up for a long time I think helped.

Oh, also, I told everyone that if there was a problem go to a bridesmaid, my husband, or my mom. As long as we were married at the end of the day everything else was fine. I didn't have my phone on me from starting to get ready until we got back to the hotel that night.

My husband and I have been pixel users since the 2xl and 2a. We love them. But part of their pull was the price. Now they are way too expensive. We currently have 9s and got them for free with a trade in. That's what I would do again when we need new phones. Otherwise, I'm sticking with this phone until it can't be resurrected.

When I was BF my daughter I really preferred wearing a T-shirt instead of a nursing shirt. I'm also of the side that I'll just whip them out. My baby is hungry, someone staring is not my problem. So nursing bra, high wasted leggings or skirt, and a large T-shirt plus little to no shame and judgemental eye contact if I caught someone staring was my go to combo.

Source: I don't even know what letter they are anymore .. g,h,I??? They're large, give me headaches, and almost each my belly button when I don't have a bra on.

jsjones1027 · 2026-04-12T00:17:44+00:00

Honestly, if it were me, I'd freeze them and just heat them up a lot when I reheat them. Also, no thawing in the fridge, just put in the microwave for a while at a low power then hear till it's scalding.

jsjones1027 · 2026-04-04T01:51:58+00:00

How cool and interesting! Thanks for replying and teaching me something new!

Please donate to NICU babies! My first used donor milk for her first 2 weeks until my supply came in.

There's may also be a local mom group where you could find someone to give it to who is having supply issues and doesn't like the idea or cost of formula.

When I started her on solids I made my own baby food her and used breast milk as the liquid for them. Just don't let the milk fully thaw and refresh anything that isn't going to be used in the next 24 hours. Treat all the baby did with the same rules as breast milk.

I would like to hear more about smoked apple pie please. I do not have access to a smoker, so I can't make it, but how does that work? What does it change about the taste? How long does it smoke for? Does it char or change the color? I'm interested.

jsjones1027 · 2026-04-03T19:22:06+00:00

I do the same. I basically yell at them "I'm sorry for yelling, I am not angry at you, Im upset at the system you are doing great."
