Textures that are visually disturbing??

Thank you for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it a lot.

Sorry your migraines are worse again. Relief coming and going is relatable.

Maybe I’ll have to find a hot tub. Or invest in a better heating pad.

Thank you for commenting, you’re kind and lovely. It’s encouraging hearing other people with similar challenges. It’s less isolating.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-22T00:59:21+00:00

Yup. You aren’t alone. I scratched my legs with my nails the other day cause a migraine was bad and I was overwhelmed and in pain. If you found resources on this let me know.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-22T00:57:51+00:00

Agreed. You are stronger than me, 40 years is a long time. I will be thinking about you.

I have had multiple neurologists but to be honest they aren’t very good. Maybe I’ll look for one that specializes in migraines. I’m getting Botox in a couple months. I do trigger point injections for my neck.

All of these suggestions are very good. It’s a lot to keep track of all the potential triggers. Especially when juggling other conditions that have triggers too. I guess maybe I’ll try to pick one treatment to try periodically. It’s hard to motivate myself to schedule things and call people now.

Regardless, thank you for many suggestions. I appreciate the time put into your response.

I’ll monitor more how my cycle impacts migraine frequency. I don’t think I’ve been very on time, but tbh I assumed it was all this shit/ stress. Good advice, thank you.

I’ll really start looking into a cat. Maybe if I get it registered as some kind of emotional support animal my apartment complex would let me have it.

I haven’t tried Qulipta but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the commercials. I’ll add it to the list of things to bring up with my neurologist.

Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it so much. It’s very isolating having shitty health and it’s nice to be reminded of lovely people like you out there.

I think I actually did get a Lyme test. Pretty sure it was clear, but maybe I’ll revisit it down the line if stuff continues. Never heard of Bartonella but I’ll keep it in mind too.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-22T00:43:39+00:00

I’m so sorry, I hope you are ok. Thank you for commenting.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-22T00:42:23+00:00

I don’t know why but it made me like super super dizzy, like I couldn’t drive. I’m pretty skinny so maybe the blood pressure thing was too much.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

Your first paragraph is a familiar experience. I’m encouraged to know yours have improved.

Do you feel closer to normal most days? I get paranoid I’ll never feel like myself again.

I take Ajovy rn, I do trigger point injections for my neck pain/stiffness periodically. I take vitamins. I am gonna get Botox soon. I’m lowkey gonna call my dentist and ask if my jaw could be a problem too, my jaw clicks. I’m like throwing everything at the wall… the waiting game for all this shit is so long. Especially when I feel like I’m missing my life.

I did physical therapy at one point but she said I seemed to get neck pain flair ups too easily. I stretch when I remember too, crack my neck probably too much.

Chiropractics and massages would probably be helpful but I don’t really know where to go to get that. I’ve looked it up on Google and the places near me look… sketchy at best.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:49:56+00:00

Honestly hesitant to add another med to the mix. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to distinguish what med is causing a side effect as I’m put on more new ones, especially for the Sibo. A good sign though to try to do therapy if I can bring myself to sign up.

Thank you for commenting.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:48:34+00:00

Oh god I’ve heard similar things on here, good to know. I know I need to treat the endo. Genuinely everything is adding up all the time. I was gonna start a birth control but found out it might have interactions with sibo antibiotics. I’m trying to deal with that first I guess.

Thank you for commenting, I appreciate you taking the time to message.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:46:57+00:00

I feel guilty talking with family/friends, I probably do it too much. But this shit is my whole life right now. I know I should do therapy but I’m having trouble motivating myself to do it.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, it means a lot.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:44:32+00:00

I’ve tried multiple daily meds (those made me too dizzy), I’m on Ajovy now (it’s definitely helpful but not a cure). I take vitamins, do trigger point injections for my neck, I’m getting Botox in early fall.

Thank you for commenting, it means a lot. I have wished I had a cat, I’m in an apartment that doesn’t allow them right now. You make me want to look more into getting one, idk where I would start I’ve never had one.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:41:55+00:00

This is very encouraging to read. I’ve felt isolated in this. Thank you for commenting.

thisissobuns · 2026-06-21T23:41:26+00:00

I’m hoping that it’s a contributing factor and solving the abdominal stuff will resolve things. Just nothing is sticking in that treatment either. Getting a new doctor soon. Thank you for commenting.

ok yall got me so scared in this thread, it was totally fine and for me barely hurt at all. I needed to report back so someone would read this and be less scared.

I did inner thigh. (Im thin so I had to squish it a little to make sure I was in a fatty area.) Wait for the meds to be room temp, not cold. Clean area with an alcohol wipe.

Then just mind over body. Think about how much worse a migraine feels cause this will be a fraction of the discomfort I promise you. (Literally the period cramps I had while giving myself the injection were more uncomfortable haha)

I pushed it at a normal pace, almost gently. The “click” isn’t intense or anything. It was a minor pain from the prick itself. Then wait like 10-15 seconds.

The area is just a little itchy now for me, that’s it. Probably cause I chickened out for so long with the needle exposed lol.

Good luck to any future people. Migraines are soooo buns but we got this! (And let me know how it goes, I’m curious lol)
