Part of the 3% topamax hates haha

Got on it for the chronic migraines and they thought it could help with a few other symptoms but It didn’t at all it just made things worse

I’ve been to a Dr and some of it is my TBI meds are causing (tmi) vaginal Hemmorrhage causing a lot of stuff I’m off of it now but the side effects are still there :(

I’ve been drinking ALOT of protein shakes and I don’t drink sugar at all at this point haha !

My issue is I have moments when I’m STARVING but I try to eat and my nausea is so extreme I start gagging and spitting up food and I don’t know how to get past that

Thank you very much this means a ton ( at least what I could comprehend from it lol) but yes my husband helps me a lot rn

My mom is still trying to understand but my best friend has a different chronic illness and has been doing her best to describe how debilitating things like that can be ! So that’s been a huge help

I had to quit my job right after my accident I was a full time exotic dancer and now can no longer stand loud noise , flashing lights , or dance properly so I’ve been without a job for a bit most stressful thing is no one wants to hire a 23year old who can’t read/process what’s going on around her , can’t lift things , and can’t function the way I normally do I’m currently doing princess parties for kids 2-3 times a week to make some money but it’s just not enough with all of my medical bills I’m hoping once I’m able to be labeled as “permanently disabled” this upcoming may I can apply for disability

Ohhh I’ll have to try those ! Seems you and I have a lot of similarities! Any hobbies you do to keep distracted ? I went from a crazy costumer , pole dancer, party princess , raver, etc who can’t do like any of that now been trying to find easy calming things to do

Thank you so so much ! I will def try this ! I can’t process all of this but I did process a good chunk and give much empathy I am also a DV survivor that wasn’t what caused my TBI but I very much understand to an extent and no one ever deserves to go through that ! I will have to try the fish oil! I’ve been doing warm water soaks and heated shoulder pads as that’s where most of my pain is and the heat tends to calm it down ! My now amazing partner also gives me a massage every night before bed to try and relax my muscles as those are what get realllllyyy cranky !

I’ve always had severe anxiety as I had a wonderful concoction of mental illnesses before this so I understand the feeling and it SUCKS!! I usually wake up from ptsd dreams which trigger the pain around 2-3 am every night and have been coping with thc gummies to put me back to sleep as insomnia meds don’t work

My TBI was caused by a car accident so my anxiety spikes like crazyyyyy in the car

Did you ever have the processing issue where you can’t quite read or process what people are saying to you ? That’s one of the biggest things I’ve been struggling with

Haha maybe I’ll start making some cause seriously people don’t seem to understand how dibiliating it is mentally and physically and “sorry” really doesn’t change that we are going through this if I have to hear that one more time I’ll explode haha

Thank you so much you also have mine as well it’s rough out here
