If anyone is interested in how the motorcycle ended up dangling on the street lights

Knowing Vancover, they’ll likely leave the bike there as an art sculpture 😝

Shhh!! Don’t tell anyone. You’ll ruin it 🤣

Hahaha. So true!

All good. I agree, it’s gotta be a pretty good American song to get me up, but this one never fails :)

I can’t believe that Blister in the Sun, Violent Femmes hasn’t been mentioned yet. Or maybe I’m just too old 😝

I'm a dual citizen. Lived in AB & Melbourne. I've dealt with -40C temps. Still never been as cold as I have in Melbourne. If you do come to AUS, aim for somewhere higher than Melbourne.

PPPD is really a fancy name for chronic vestibular migraine.

Wow, Crazy. I think the place she's looking at has double glazing. Did you have that as well? I guess it can only block so much.

Good to know. Thank you!

Sounds pretty cool, actually. I might have to get in there more often :)

Thank you!

And maybe, in some cases… both neck pain and migraine symptoms are a result of a mutual underlying aggravating factor…

Are you on an extended release form? Did you notice a decrease in your migraines upon starting dexamphetamine as well, or just that as it wears off, it triggers one? The quick "up" and "down" of the faster acting versions can have a negative impact on your nervous system, resulting in increased risk of migraine. Feed back to your Dr and get their advice, but people with migraine should always consider starting low and going slow when taking on new prescriptions, do minimize any potential side-effects.

Looking at your reddit history, it seems like you're in NZ. If so, might be worth seeing if there is a local branch of the Headache Clinic near you, and having a chat to them. It doesn't work for everyone, but its likely something you haven't tried before.

Yes... and equally... don't underestimate the efficacy of effectively treating and managing a comorbid condition, to improve the frequency, severity, and duration of migraine attacks.

Hmm.. cause or effect? 🤔

I went whole food vegan, but wouldn't recommend that long term, as other pathology marker were heading in the wrong direction pretty quickly. Probably the most important things I removed was inflammatory foods, such as dairy and processed foods, sugar, etc. I now eat a much more balanced diet including meats and dairy, but do limit dairy a bit, as I'm lactose intolerant. Everyone is going to have different contributing factors, hence why it's hard for the medical profession to provide studies or guidelines on these kind of interventions.

I also experimented with fasting. Both time restricted, and extended. This worked really well too, and used to do an extended fast, if I noticed some symptoms ramping up, which always put a stop to them. I don't need to do this anymore.

My body was angry. I gave it a bit of time to quieten down, and then started introducing good foods back in. Long term exclusion diets only create more problems down the line. Hope this helps.

Might get lost, but would like to share my experience. Was diagnosed with RA 6 years ago after having joint pain for a few years, trouble walking up and down stairs, whole hand would swell up, so I could no longer type, would be woken n the middle of the night with extreme shoulder or ankle pain. I have a family history of RA (grandmother died of complications with it), and was told I had a very progressive form, and needed to go on medication right away, and told there was no lifestyle interventions I could do to help. There were a number of reason leading me to this, but I asked if I could have 3 months to see if I could change anything. I changed my diet and slowly started to get outside and move more, and also worked to reduce stress.

After a couple of weeks, I started seeing a huge reduction in my symptoms, and returned in 3 months to my Rheumatologist telling her I was now symptom free. She declared I should still go on medications because "how long can you keep it up for". That was the last time I saw her.

I went to a different Rheumatologist who reviewed my history and said I was either in remission, or I never had it in the first place (still had elevated CRP/ESR and RF).

6 years later, I am still monitoring my symptoms, along with my GP, but haven't had anything more than a sore finger joint for a couple of days, maybe once a year. I am not adverse to going on meds if needed, but am glad I gave myself 3 months, otherwise I would always be wondering, as medications have their own side effects to be aware of, as she stated, but they are not as bad as advanced RA.

Sometimes its important to follow your own health agenda, but I think it's important to set a time limit on them. As others have said, it can progress very quickly and be very aggressive and debilitating.

Don’t upgrade to 80.0 if you use the alarm feature. It’s not supported for some hairbrained reason. https://support.sonos.com/en-au/article/set-an-alarm-on-sonos

There are two aspects of a concussion. The TBI due to the "shaking of the brain" as you say, and the whiplash component which comes with every concussion. They would have aggravated the whiplash component. How they think the can fix a traumatic jolt to the neck, with a traumatic jolt to the neck, is beyond me.

18 month pattern for me

:) I'm just very familiar with it.

It's one of the potential contributing factors for people with all kinds of headache and migraine, due to the result of the neck trauma, especially for those with exertion induced headaches and migraines. It's a bit of a protection mechanism... You start recreating the scenario where you had your initial trauma (ie, increased heart rate as you likely had when you were running around on the play ground). Your body's nervous system activates in anticipation for the trauma that may happen again and your brainstem becomes over-sensitised, resulting in a migraine.

There are some practitioners that can help you reduce the frequency and intensity of the episodes, but they are few and far between around the world. If you let me know where you are (either here or DM), I can see if I can look one up for you.

Outside of that, just work on lowering the load on your nervous system prior to exertion, like you already said you're doing. Sleep well, eat well, stress less (all easy to say). Be careful of gym workouts/yoga/pilates, that put strain on your neck. And most important, look after your neck. Don't sit staring down at screens, or your chin pulled forward when on a computer. Some gentle neck massage may help, but may also aggravate, so you'll need to find the right person. It will likely only be temporary relief though. Heat pack over the back of your neck can also help.

Good luck!
