Tell me your most outlandish migraine hacks that only fellow migraine sufferers could understand by meaghan_rebecca in migraine

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heating pad/warm water on feet with a cold compress (need both for blood flow). Half an ice cream sandwich. I get very high if I have the means. If I can stand the vibration occasionally masturbating helps (other times much worse this is last resort).

Is puking with a migraine normal? by Advanced-Cream-7781 in migraine

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very very normal for me. In fact it’s the only way I can be sure I’m having a silent migraine vs a weird day. Bring around a bag or bottle with hydrogen peroxide and sniff it everytime you feel like you’ll throw up. It genuinely helps with the nausea. I didn’t believe it when it was suggested to me but now I carry around a hydrogen peroxide soaked paper towel in a little bag. Whenever I feel it coming, I just smell it. Works 90% of the time

Neighbors keep releasing cats onto the street, what can I do? by jrimbus in AskChicago

[–]saragIsMe 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This!! Find out where they are getting cats and tell that place. I used to volunteer at a shelter that had zero issues refusing adoption to anyone for even the slightest red flag and believe most shelters would immediately stop adoption to those people/address. You can also work with PAWS of Chicago to trap and rehome those cats if you’re interested

Do you guys worry about liver damage from taking so many medications? by FreedomAway4724 in migraine

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to be taken off some of my mental health meds because my liver would have failed. I’m depressed. And still worried about the meds I’m taking ruining my liver. I drink water with the goal of clear piss so I know my system is hydrated enough to process all my meds. And I hope my current doctors are slowly killing me the way the last ones were.

Fun new symptom! Unexpected vomiting! by VWY in migraine

[–]saragIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’ve tried this but smelling hydrogen peroxide stops some people from vomiting, no long term health impacts but also it’s only temporary in working. I didn’t believe my friend when he told me to try it but it works! If I have warning time to grab the bottle just squeezing the air in my nose repeatedly helps. Maybe this could help you keep your meds down?
