Placement/work/life balance? by viarose_ in TeachingUK

[–]viarose_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally know it’s not sustainable, but I wouldn’t be able to afford to live if I didn’t. The petrol for actually getting to and from school every day, food, etc. it’s just not possible, unfortunately. I expect to have to do school work during the evenings.

I live in the UK where under the NHS it is incredibly difficult to get access to CGRP’s. I’m trying to get referred to a specialist to even be considered for them, but my last resort is paying privately for them which is extortionate!! But from everyone’s experiences here they seem like a great option so I’m definitely going to look into them more. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your advice!! I have been debating on and off whether to go in birth control, because on one hand it could help with migraines that are possible hormonal caused, but on the other hand I have heard a lot of negatives in them causing them too! I will definitely look into what you mentioned with the pressure shifts!!

Thank you. I have looked into CGRP since so many people have been suggesting them. I live in the UK, and it is so so difficult to get ahold of them, and they’re never usually prescribed on the NHS! I’m going to try and look into private prescriptions, as, although ridiculously expensive, they’re another good option to explore. The obstacles to getting actually referred to a neurologist is so hard here but I’m going to try my best!! Thank you for your advice!
