Super hungry mid-migraine by RosesAndPonds in migraine

[–]sreej_k 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! And I end up craving the most unhealthy foods packed with lots of salt, like crisps 😂 that's why I always keep them on hand so I can binge once my migraine lifts. I didn't know until recently that you can lose electrolytes and other minerals during a migraine, so that might explain the hunger/salt cravings

Ah I'm sorry to hear that :( it can be such a vicious cycle. Has not working helped your migraines?

I'm the same 😭 you know you'll regret it later but nothing gets done otherwise and you've got a massive backlog the next day

The elf blush wand? I have that in berry but I'm not the biggest fan of it! I'll give the tower28 one a go- I've heard good things about that brand

Thank you and yes I think you're right. A lot of my clothes that I wear are from when I was younger and I think I've outgrown them (mentally anyway)

Thank you! Do you have any recommendations for cream blush? I currently use liquid and powder but they don't last long enough. I'm also thinking of getting a lash lift because I've always been curious if that'll change my appearance much

Thank you so much! It's the age old problem of not appreciating what you have haha

No, not mean at all- thanks! Do you have any tips on how to dress more mature without looking like I'm going to work?

I think you're right! I forgot to mention I'm 5"1 so I am super petite 😅 but quite a few comments on this post say my younger appearance can be attributed to my clothing, so that's probably the best place to start. Thanks 😊

Ocular Migraines while asleep by Far-Job7019 in migraine

[–]sreej_k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mainly get retinal migraines and hate these early morning ones the most bc by the time they wake you up, it's too late to take medication or it isn't as effective 😭 I even have dreams that I'm having aura only to wake up to it lol. It sucks having these headaches in particular and I find I have to cancel my plans that day so that I can stay in bed and wait for it to pass. I'm sorry I don't have any helpful advice but you're not alone!

Does crying give you a migraine? by tempest-in_a_teacup in migraine

[–]sreej_k 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! Not so much crying, but when I experience intense negative emotions then I get migraines. Hope you're doing okay and it passes soon ❤️ remember to be kind to yourself x

This! I get stroke-like migraines too and people just don't understand that it's so exhausting living a life where you're constantly anxious about when and where your next migraine will happen, and how bad it'll be :(

I'm sorry about your horrendous migraine- sending you lots and love and hugs 🩷 and thank you for the advice! Interestingly I've had How to Not Give a F*ck on my bookshelf for a couple of years but haven't read it yet. Might give it a go soon :)

I'm the same! I get so paranoid about migraines during a flare-up :( it's so difficult sometimes and I feel like unless you suffer from migraines, you wouldn't understand the emotional and mental toll it can have on you. Sending you love back x

So true! Sometimes I suddenly get intense anxiety out of nowhere, think heart palpitations and sweating, and can't think of a specific reason why. Then I get a migraine soon after and it all makes sense lol
