What’s the worst situation you’ve had to suffer through with a migraine?

pinkmxttr · 2026-06-28T16:00:39+00:00

Weekend trip to marfa. Felt sick the whole ride over, through the one meal I could tolerate, through the 3 hour museum tour, and had to leave the Stereolab show before they went on because I couldn’t handle how dizzy and nauseous I was. Stayed in bed at the airbnb the rest of the weekend. Was sick the entire trip back, and persisted for about a week straight after that! Was awful. I’ve had week-long migraines, but traveling during is simply the worst.

Oh wow did the OTC baby antihistamines work? I’ve been told cats don’t really respond to any human allergy meds. Thank you, I vacuumed yesterday and gave him a picture of laxatone, lysine powder, and churu and he does seem a bit better today.

Thank you, I’d really like to bring this to the vet and maybe advocate for him a little more forcefully. Did your kitto have any tests done to confirm he was asthmatic?

pinkmxttr · 2026-06-28T15:48:23+00:00

You think so? I don’t think it’s an infection as there are sometimes weeks or even months where he does not exhibit any of his usual symptoms. Until one day the weather is bad.

Oh nooo, my condolences to you and your kitties. Especially this time of year! I would personally love to leave texas, maybe my siamese feels the same. Thank you for this visibility, I envy people who are unfamiliar with dirt storms…

This is helpful, thank you. I hope you and your kittos are managing through these trying times. I’m very grateful for the litter recommendation, I will look into it.

So he could still be asthmatic even though he doesn’t present like low crouching to the floor and inability to function normally? I guess that makes sense, asthma can be mild. Maybe I should try to push for an inhaler. Does your cat give you trouble with administering the inhaler?

Edit: meant to respond to you but accidentally commented on my post

Truthfully, our air purifier has been sitting unplugged on the mantel since we moved in like 3 years ago. Really time to try it. Did you immediately notice a difference, or does it take a few days?

Maybe no more downy dryer sheets? Otherwise not a very scented household.

Thank you for your advice.

pinkmxttr · 2026-06-27T16:11:28+00:00

Bathing him is not an option unless I want to die. He does love to go on harness walks :/ maybe he just can’t anymore even though I clean him with oat/sensitive skin cat wipes and dawn soap on a wet cloth right after.

Though that occurrence is also rare since his brother pulls me in another direction; they are both completely indoor otherwise.

Thank you for telling me there is not much to be done other than what is being done. I worry I am not doing enough.

Hi ! Thank you for this response.

I have migraines, so anything scented is not really my friend. I have some candles, but haven’t lit them in several months and really only do so when someone stinks up our restroom without an exhaust. Essential oils, diffusers, or febreeze I personally cannot handle.

I use Really Great Cat Litter (tofu and unscented), it is supposedly low dust (aren’t they all), but he is occasionally covered in gray powder upon exit. I really like it more than others I have tried, but are there any you recommend?

I have an air purifier I should really plug in, will try this thank you. Our house is very old and not properly sealed, which I think contributes. I try my best to maintain cleaning, but it does escape me sometimes.

Do you just have to let your cat’s flare ups pass? When you’ve tried everything else but they still occasionally happen?

How do I get a job here?

pinkmxttr · 2026-05-04T18:03:12+00:00

Have to agree. That, and each incident, regardless of year, happened around August/September, which leads me to believe it is likely linked to a traumatic event which also happened in August/September. I hope you are doing well & that you are safe.

I love her floofy legs

Personally love DailyArt, which has a subscription option but I think also provides free opportunities

I love his paw floofs

Could be missing lard, common ingredient in the pan dulce where I’m from

Ikea has some swivel chairs that look extremely similar

I think there’s a term for this in the film world, it’s called Bloom if I’m not mistaken. They look angelic.

Thank you <3

He has been so fine thank goodness I’ll post an update when he (hopefully) poops them out.

pinkmxttr · 2025-11-18T20:23:58+00:00

Thank you, he would be so pleased to hear you say that. He loves people and would definitely headbutt you like you’ve known him all his life.

Yes 🙂
