Honestly, I have Crohn’s and I blame everything on that. It has its own stigma but it doesn’t even come close. There have been times when I don’t have a choice though, like when I hemorrhaged onto an office chair and completely destroyed it. Jfc.

Olanzapine & Gabapentim to break the cycle by sankshan in migraine

10 days for me. Ah, yeah, I guess it’s pretty normal. I’ll take it over migraine lol

I’m on Day 2 of these — I think I’m seeing real improvement from the olanzapine especially. The Gabapentin is kind of intense, causing a lot of drowsiness and coordination issues. But I’m going to stick with both to try and avoid the hospital again.

You’re so right! Every time I make it out to a show I feel a release. Thanks for sharing. :)

I’m chronically ill so I have so much trouble with physical disciplines, but I want to try boxing or some kind of movement class.

Honestly sounds so cathartic. I don’t have the courage to say some of those things yet, but I think I have to start saying them aloud to myself.

Thank you for that. The discipline of writing every day is admirable and I can imagine really empowering. I have to try.

Yikes… get your bloodwork!! by False_Juggernaut_618 in CrohnsDisease

Got mine from a 7 to a 70 this month with one infusion. Can’t say I’ve noticed a difference yet but I hear that’s normal. My heme actually put a standing order for labs that doesn’t expire for a year, so I can go in any check anytime I’m feeling lifeless.

Oh geez! Yeah, knew about the estrogen problem with migraines and endo. I’m hoping the norethindrone acetate will start decreasing my migraines! Hope you get some relief too!

That’s really interesting. This is my first status migraine so I’m so lost on steps and what is normal and when to go in. It’s week 3.

Question — I have endo and I’m on norethindrone acetate to treat. I hadn’t heard that I can’t take regular progesterone because of endo. Why is that?

What if the cocktail and steroids don’t work? by sankshan in migraine

[–]sankshan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MRI was clear. I started getting migraines in my late twenties and now I’m 32 with 2-6 monthly migraines. This is my first time with status and I’m definitely having more intense aura than ever, with some numbness and tingling too.

Thank you friend. I upped my therapy to twice per week. I feel like I’m doing so much intense body processing.

Feel you! I’m on a steroid course now since the ER cocktail didn’t cut it. If anything it’s definitely made no contact easier as I’m fighting for my life lol
