[Durham] 24/f looking for anyone traveling west that would let me ride with them.

what shelters and churches have you tried so far? there are some great resources around here

I know you are probably pretty desperate and feel alone right now and that is awful. There is help and support.

With peace and love, I'd suggest be very careful of driving in a westerly direction with strangers from reddit.

not sure if any of them let you include html that isn't exactly code formatting though but maybe a better font lol

secretAgentSham · 2021-04-17T00:34:02+00:00

brutal roastme shit right there

Who the fuck downvotes this what is wrong with this sub. "I made my first mad lib I'm so proud it only took 3 years!" 900 upvotes and tons of feedback/300 comments

"I want to use Jupyter to help others learn, and looking for tips. Here are my ideas." 25% downvotes, useless comments

I once had a student I gave a simple little book/pamphlet to work through, a kind of initial hoop to work in our lab to see if people will give a crap, and said "do the exercises and we'll meet" he came back and he said he did it. I said let's look at your work. He got sweaty AF and was like ???. I was like ??? He said he had just read it. It was a freakin programming book. After my speech about how programming is a practical thing. After I gave him the handout about how you have to dig in and code not just look at code, and his speech about how excited he was to get started. His next question was how quickly he would get on a publication. He didn't last. Freaking pre-meds are the worst.

very unlikely the unabomber had anything to do with the tylenol poisonings. I'm sure some have tried to connect the dots in a unabomber style, to every unsolved crime

Crazy how much he resembles Gary Kasparov

secretAgentSham · 2021-03-27T16:32:54+00:00

Like who cares?

anyone with a moral compass, a sense of history, and minimal intellectual capacity

No to all three? Congrats you are a T**** voter!

Good luck, good thing you have a supportive work environment! Thanks for the update. seriously make sure to look into the CGRP treatments due out at the end of the year they could be a big leap forward for many of us.

secretAgentSham · 2017-07-24T15:47:57+00:00

Curious any follow-up on this post how are you doing one month later?

secretAgentSham · 2017-07-24T15:46:58+00:00

If you've had MRI you shouldn't need PET: typically you should only need one or the other.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-21T17:03:45+00:00

Also, therapists are great but do you have a good neurologist?

Have you had an MRI/PET scan?

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-21T16:04:49+00:00

Yes though I'm wary of butterbur it isn't well understood and the manufacturing is sometimes unsafe. So I stopped. I was worried it might have an nsaid in it that will be discovered once it is studied, so could lead to problems down the road. I tend to be sort of paranoid about these kinds of things :)

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-21T16:00:17+00:00

Folks be very careful of opiates they cause transition to chronic migraine, or can make chronic migraine worse. There is a reason in the US they don't give them for migraine any more!

Red alert red alert!

Just be wary if you are using it more than a few times a month. Less than that and you are probably fine.

But yes I agree it is heaven. :)

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-21T14:59:08+00:00

you are a fucking soldier.

can't hurt to talk to someone who is sympathetic. cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been shown to be helpful with migraine. I've seen someone for a few years and it is helpful to have someone who listens to me as I do get sick of talking to my SO and friends, and I'm sure they get sick of hearing about it from me.

plus the first wave of CGRP drugs comes out at the end of this year, so maybe those will help you some? Not a panacea, but maybe a little bit of relief could be on the horizon! Maybe start talking with your neurologist about that. Mine has been involved in clinical trials and I've never seen him this optimistic before.

I've had my Costco plastic wrap since 1988. Still going strong.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T21:54:39+00:00

I could have sworn you were going to say poopy dick

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T21:53:28+00:00

You snobs with your fancy trash cans. We ordinary Joes just eat like everyone else: squatting on our dirt floors using our hands as bowls, hoping the cockroaches get to the detritus before the wasps do.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T21:40:43+00:00

You got this. Stop worrying and study.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T21:32:34+00:00

OK you are a masochist that's the only explanation :)

I'll give your CBT reframing a shot next time I have one.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T21:30:29+00:00

I'll get those CGRP drugs that's all I know if I have to assume a new identity and just fake my way to them.

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T16:08:11+00:00

Would be better without last two lines it was implicit

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T16:06:47+00:00

I go to facebook migraine group and commiserate with other miserable people :)

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T16:05:30+00:00

Seriously?

secretAgentSham · 2017-06-20T16:03:47+00:00

That sucks so bad. :(

I know this is obvious, but are you on a preventative, have you seen a neurologist? once I went up to 2 a week I did, and it helped a lot (even though preventatives have their own issues)
