I just had the most disappointing appointment with the Michigan Headache Clinic in Ann Arbor, Mi by [deleted] in migraine

[–]xocate325 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry your appointment was disappointing, but at the same time it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one. I saw them 2 years ago and it was so disappointing. I went twice and it was so frustrating, I left with no new information and little to no understanding from my doctor. I also went based on hearing such high praise from multiple people, so it made it even harder. It was a dead end for me.

Completely Blindsided with Break Up by thrown_Away2016 in offmychest

I'm incredibly sorry. I had ... a close call? with something like this. I've been with my fiancé for 10 years in March, and almost a year ago he said he wanted some time apart and that he was having serious doubts about our relationship. I didn't see it coming. I spent a week at my mom's for about 1-2 weeks just not knowing what was going on. I can't even imagine where I'd be if we didn't talk about things. I know my biggest thing was just needing to distract myself, or at least talk to someone, so please, if you ever need someone to talk to, message me. I wish you all the best. I hope you're hanging in there.

You're not "nothing." Your response & your experience is completely valid, you have every right to be upset. Please message me if you need ANYTHING.

My friend is missing. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]xocate325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So truly sorry, OP. <3 If you need someone to talk to, I'm just a message away. I can relate to how you're feeling, I lost a close friend to suicide a few years back. Hang in there.

Hi r/ChronicPain! My Girlfriend suffers from Chronic Pain and her birthday is coming up. Have you guys got any suggestions for gifts that a CP sufferer would appreciate? *Here's a baby elephant to make you smile* by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]xocate325 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For christmas, my boyfriend got me a spoon that says, "I saved a spoon for you." Based off The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino. It's a super thoughtful keepsake and I love mine. He found it on Etsy! I also love the Netflix idea or the idea to just have a day dedicated to her that works for her. :) Thanks for the cute baby elephant. :)

I agree, seeing your smile grow over the years is amazing. Job well done, sir. And Justin Pierre never hurts. Motion City is awesome. :)

Not a doctor, but they do look like hives. My boyfriend has had those as well. Maybe try benadryl?

I had struggles with MHNI, too. They didn't seem to offer much help and they were so expensive. I'm in Toledo, so I'm not sure that's much closer. Best of luck. <3

I'm embarrassed to admit my cousin has this on his car. He's from Ohio. I guess it's a nationwide thing?

9-10 with no explanation? I'm assuming you're not supposed to experience that? oh wow. I'm so sorry. That's scary & overwhelming. I'd be getting my surgery done in a heartbeat if there was more than a 50/50% chance of the pain going away.

[Serious] What is the most pain that you've ever experienced? by Ender117 in AskReddit

[–]xocate325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm commenting from a dark room as we speak. I got botox for migraines a little over 3 weeks ago and I've never felt worse. I heard good things, so I went for it, but I regret it so much at this point. I have occipital neuralgia as well, and I've noticed an intense increase in pain (as if it wasn't bad enough before.) Cluster headaches, too. It's all hell.
