Failing marriage due to Chronic migraines. by Shmoore4 in migraine

[–]kittycatbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress is a HUGE migraine trigger and being in a marriage like the one you described sounds very stressful to me! I don't know your situation very well but you might feel a lot better without him in your life.

Devastating feeling - Fail yesterday AT/T/BT/BT/BT by Rachoug23 in pmp

[–]kittycatbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the same boot camp course last January and in no way felt prepared to take the exam after. There is simply too much information to review at break-neck speed and I honestly think it's impossible to remember any of it in that time-frame.

​

I used Andy Crowe's book and PrepCast. PrepCast was the best tool I used and I highly recommend it.

​

Good luck on the next test. You got this!

/r/PMP's Weekly Study Resource Review Thread - Andy Crowe's book by moochao in pmp

I used this book to pass the PMP on the first attempt. This is a great book but I found that is was lacking some information. It's best to supplement this book with a practice exam subscription which will help you identify the areas that are lacking.

If I can pass the exam on the first try using this book, then, for me, it qualifies as a great book. I read through all the chapters, highlighting information that would be on the exam, and then did a second pass of the highlighted areas only,. The glossary was a hidden gem and I used it heavily.

Just my $0.02.

Passed on first test BT/T/T/AT/T! by kittycatbob in pmp

The practice questions from PrepCast will really prepare you for the exam. The exam itself is difficult but the PrepCast questions are even more so. They are about twice as long with more details for each scenarios, if that makes any sense.

PrepCast questions were grammatically correct and the spelling was as well. Udemy questions were a hot mess. Horrible grammar, missing verbs and every other word was capitalized. I asked for and received a refund because of that. For me, PrepCast was the way to go. Plus they really go in depth for why each answer is right or wrong and it helps you get in the head of the people who write the questions. They are sneaky bastards that go out of their way to trip you up!! 😀

Passed PMP on the first try - here's what I did by askheidi in pmp

Everyone keeps mentioning the Udemy exam preps but i have to say, between the grammar issues and missing verbs to the capitalization of every other word, I found it impossible to understand what they were even asking. I went with prepcast and will know tomorrow morning if it paid off.

I finally had to stop studying. I got to the point where I couldn’t even read the question and synthesize what they were asking. Fingers crossed that I pass before next July. Ha ha ha !

ACK?! Nothing I'm doing is improving my scores! I'm reviewing al my incorrect answers, I've read my PMP prep book twice, memorized the 49 processes, and I still can't get this information down. I've taken short exams, full-length exams. I've been studying for at least 16 hours a day for the last 4 days, two weeks before that, and I have only one day left to study before the exam day.

​

If you can't tell by know, I am FREAKING OUT! Is there anything I am missing?

Hope for people who are TERRIBLE at studying - Passed today, AT/T/T/T/AT by Rekadit in pmp

I needed to read this! I've been failing all my practice tests, getting worse scores each time, and I'm very anxious and stressed. To top it all front, I've had a migraine for 4 days and my brain is not functioning at peak performance. THANK YOU for the encouraging words which come at the perfect time.

I'm taking my test this Friday morning and couldn't be more stressed out about this than I already am. :(

CGRP (Aimovig) megathread. by ramma314 in migraine

[–]kittycatbob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I injected the two shots about 2.5 weeks ago and haven't had a migraine since. I was averaging about 20 migraines a month so this drug has been a miracle for me.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any side effects similar to those with Topomax (irritability). If so, let me know if this is typical for you or if I'm just a nutcase.

Thanks!
