Migraines are complex neurological disorders and triggers can vary from person to person. Although it has been reported that certain foods can trigger migraines in some people, it is important to note that triggers can be very individual and not all have the same effect. Here are 5 foods commonly associated with triggering migraines: Read more

it sucks worse because i doubt that he even thinks about me once a month but it’s been a year and he crosses my mind almost daily

#i just know SO MUCH about him and so many things remind me of him #i lost two of my best friends because of him. and i cant do anything about that #i tried so hard for so long to make it work #to listen to what he had to say and to make myself good enough for him. #to be a good friend and a good partner no matter how he treated me or what i was going through #and i fucking was!! i was incredible and he was lucky to have me!! #i walked forty minutes each way in the middle of the night wether i had school or work or anything in the morning #no matter what just to make him feel safe #i drove him everywhere he needed to go whenever he asked for it #i bought him food when his parents wouldn’t and i would do whatever he said when i was around him #and if i ever showed a sign of being upset or scared or hurt id just get ‘:/‘ in response and he’d ask me to leave lmfao #hell i got him his fucking job. and helped him keep it and covered for him when he sucked at it. #even AFTER he told me he was dating our mutual friend and refused to talk to me when i tried to address it (because. hello. u already have #a partner we are dating wtf are you doing?? at least break up with me first??) #he ignored me for days but the Second he told me he was having headaches i drove twenty minutes to meet him at school and give him my #migraine meds #i was so pathetic for him eugh. #there is a mean part of me that hopes sincerely he’s struggling without my support. because i did everything i possibly could for him #and it still wasn’t enough for him to be decent to me.

Consider (because it's funny):

Ghosts can fuck with technology due to ectoplasmic interference, right? So any video and audio recordings of them come out sketchy and unreliable.

Halfas do the opposite.

Anytime they're caught on camera, the video looks like all the settings have been dialed up past max. The electronics take in so much information at once, and that's reflected in their results. Every video looks like a poorly edited, shit post from early Vine with bright flashing colors and high contrast. All the audio recordings pick up every single fucking sound in the nearby area, so people can't possibly even begin to sort out that creepy ghost voice they heard amidst the cat yowling, car engines, and children screaming from two streets over.

This is literally the only reason nobody believes Wes when he tries to prove Danny is Phantom.

Every piece of evidence he gathers looks like he shoved together random pictures, videos, and sounds from the internet that probably gave his computer the worst viruses known to man. And it's not like he's a tech forensic scientist! He can't sort through this shit to get to what he knows is groundbreaking proof. He's literally loosing his mind.

(And to make it worse, people are telling him he should take a computer course to learn some basic tech skills due to how god-awful these pictures and videos are.)

#danny phantom #pondhead blurbs #wes weston #danny fenton #wes is losing his mind cause people think he's shit at editing stuff #and making stuff up for attention #he's gone through three cameras this year and has to take meds for migraines from taking pictures of danny #but fuck it he WILL figure out how to get solid proof

Analgesics & Sedatives: HA & Sedatives

At last, we come to the end! Three glorious drugs round us out. How perfectly delightful.

First up, migraine meds. For this, we have just one:

Sumatripton (Imitrex)

This little beauty will quickly erase that moderate to severe migraine or cluster headache via vasoconstriction and reducing the release of inflammatory agents (CGRT which promotes migraines). It can also be used to stop cyclic vomiting syndrome in its tracts (sudden, repeated episodes of severe nausea and vomiting).

Side Effects

Transient chest symptoms, pressure and heavy arm sensation (not related to ischemia, i.e. you're not having a heart attack)

That being said, don't use in patients with CAD because it can cause coronary vasospasm

Sedatives

Last, but not least, the sedatives. There are only two to worry about here.

Alprazolam (Xanax) - benzodiazepine

Zolpidem (Ambien) - hypnotic agent

Uses

Xanax is a benzodiazepine that increases GABA's effects via membrane permeability to chloride ions. It treats anxiety disorders and even vertigo. (TLDR: It calms you down)

Ambien also increases GABA's effects, but this time through a benzodiazepine-1 receptor that's specifically associated with sleep, Hence, it treats insomnia.

Side Effects & Interventions

CNS depression - any time you mess with the brain, this is a risk, so assess, assess...the CNS!

Monitor for anxiety (in case it's not working)

Xanax

Amnesia

Excitation and euphoria (you calm down so much that your body responds by getting really jazzed)

Don't take if you have obstructive sleep apnea - you might not wake up!

If you overdose, take flumazenil IV (it's a benzodiazepine antagonist)

Abuse potential, so keep an eye on it (wouldn't we all take this every day if we could?)

Ambien

Next day drowsiness, sleepiness (working a little too well)

Complex sleep behaviors (aka, sleep walking, sleep cooking, sleep sexing)

Fast acting: 30 min and lights out for 6-8 hrs

Only use this if other insomnia treatments don't work (pharm and non-pharm)

Some memory tricks, again courtesy of smart classmates: Both generic names have "zol" in them. Remember zol gets your zzz's.

That's all for Analgesic & Sedatives!

So, I found a b2 supplement I can take and not react to the fillers (Thorne brand, not sponsored), and after taking it for a month, I've noticed it does seem to have an effect on my migraines.

I'm still getting 1-3 migraines a month when my hormones fluctuate, but I have noticed a significant reduction in pain since I started taking the b2. Brain fog is still a nightmare (see Migraine Daddy post 😂), but the pain is more of a normal headache and not dropping me to the floor.

Supposedly you don't see significant results until you've been on a high dose of b2 for about 3-4 months (my neurologist suggested 400mg), but given that I am actually deficient in b2 thanks to my MCAS, fixing the deficiency seems to be helping by itself.

So who knows, maybe in a few months, I'll see better results.

I know I really need to be taking a methylated B complex at this point, but they all have biotin in them, and any increase in my biotin intake just makes me sick as a dog. I thought at first it was because it was a histamine liberator, but so is methyl folate/folic acid and I've been able to tolerate that okay. Idk. Bodies are weird.

[fandomsandfeminism]

I'm like...having a meltdown over my migraine meds. Now insurance is saying that my prior authorization has been denied because I don't meet the criteria and I have to call the appeal number. For the meds I've been taking for years.

And I'm like "...but I've been taking this for years and I've been out for almost two weeks" <- audibly about to cry.

And the poor woman on the phone is like ".....I can transfer you to a pharmacist who can talk you through...uh...possible effects of not having that medication?"

I know the effects, ma'am. The effects are I'm getting CHRONIC MIGRAINES that I can't treat and it's really hard to go to work and do my job because of it! It sucks. I'm anxious all the time because every head twinge could be the beginning of a 48 hour pain spiral that I no longer have the tools to pull out of.

God *fucking* dammit.

#migraine #disability #i normally dont really think of myself as disabled #until Im OUT OF MY FUCKING MEDS FOR WEEKS #and apparently Im very prone to frustration crying with doctors and insurance hot lines #so thats fun

[saphushia]

smth different from my usual- i was taught this when i went to PT a couple years ago and i've never seen anything about it online. obligatory disclaimer i'm not in any way a medical professional and this wont cure your headaches, but they make mine a decent chunk more tolerable and sometimes that's all you can ask for

#brought to you by i've been off my prescription migraine meds for over a year because the last ones gave me a severe twitch #and ive been ramming my head against the walls preventing me from getting my new one #so we get what migraine relief we can lmao #migraine #headache #art #idk what to tag this as lmao #chronic pain #i guess?

[seraphicalsuccubus]

oh my god !!!!

y’all omfg I’m actually being prescribed something for my chronic migraines and fibromyalgia pain/inflammation !!! and I’m just so fucking excited to finally have relief from those after suffering every day for all these years 😭😭😭

I’m so fucking thankful to have a doctor that actually listens to me and wants to genuinely help me feel better after so many just disregarded all my symptoms and dismissed me like, fuck !!! I love this woman for always having some idea of how to actually help me with anything I bring up to her instead of taking the easy route and just completely writing me off and saying I’m fine like all the others have 😭😭😭

#I never mentioned it to her before because she’s a psychiatrist so I didn’t think she COULD prescribe anything like that for me #but I told her about my stress and how it’s been exacerbating all my physical illnesses and she was like ‘yeah no we’re gonna do something’ #so now I’m on sumatriptan and something else for migraines I can’t remember what the other med was and cymbalta for pain #and I’m just so excited to see if they help me finally manage my pain 😭😭😭

How about 35: "It's just a headache, I'm fine."

With Tim taking care of Kon after he overused his TTK?

A sliver of light falls across the floor from the hallway as the door starts to open. With the haze of pain fogging up his entire brain, it's barely enough warning for Kon to remember to croak out, "Don't."

Tim stops, hand falling away from the light switch. "Kon?"

Even the idea of lifting his head from the balled-up hoodie he's using as a pillow is agonizing, so Kon opts for the world's most pathetic peace sign. "Sup."

"What are you doing?" Tim slowly closes the door again, at least; the darkness is blessed relief from the stabbing pain behind Kon's eyes at even the faintest light. "Why are you on the floor?"

Kon squeezes his eyes shut, ignoring the way Tim is definitely scrutinizng him in the dimness. His brain is probably doing that BBC Sherlock thing, tagging and analyzing his pained body language, the way he keeps pushing his thumbs into the pressure points just below his eyebrows, the tension in his shoulders. Tim would hate it if he described it as a BBC Sherlock thing, of course; that's why Kon keeps doing it.

"It's just a headache." His voice is a little too breathy from pain to be dismissive, but he tries. "I'm fine."

"You could've gotten in the bed, at least." Tim sinks down next to him on the rug. "What caused it? Are you hurt?"

"Fuck, Rob, not so loud," Kon groans, rubbing his temples. "Ugh. S'nothing. Overdid the TTK holding all those skyscrapers up for so long this afternoon, that's all. And bed sounded too hot."

Tim is quiet for a moment. "You never told us that gives you migraines."

"Never seemed to matter." Another wave of agony throbs behind his eyes, lancing straight through the deepest parts of his skull, and Kon swallows down a whimper. "It, ugh, it happened way more when I was freshly hatched. Now s'not all that... frequent."

"You being in pain always matters to me," Tim says softly. He lets out a breath, quiet even in the silence of the room, and shifts his weight slightly; Kon can hear the rustle of his clothes. "...Can I get you something? Is there anything—you came to my room for a reason, right? What do you need me to do?"

There's an undercurrent of desperation in his voice, barely there, but readily apparent to anyone who knows him even half as well as Kon does. He hates being helpless, hates seeing anyone he loves in pain, hates not being able to fix it. Kon smiles wanly, opening his eyes to look up at him; it doesn't hurt, not too bad, since the room is so dark.

"I'm in your room 'cuz you have the best blackout curtains in the whole Tower," he says honestly; even in this state, he doesn't miss the way Tim's shoulders droop slightly. "But... if you could get me an ice pack—no, two—that would... that'd be pretty rad."

Tim's on his feet before Kon even finishes his request. "Yeah, of course, I have plenty—" and then he's off like a shot to the mini-fridge in the corner, pawing through the freezer in the dark like a raccoon. Kon hides a wince; his ears are too sensitive for even the slight crinkling and cracking of the ice, and nausea churns in his gut.

But then Tim's back, and in his hands are two blessedly cold packs, wrapped in cloth to make them easier to use.

"God, Rob, I could kiss you," Kon tells him, pressing one to the back of his neck. It's instant, if not total, relief, and he lets out a low moan as the agony spearing through his temples starts to ebb out into the chill. After a second, he presses the second one over his eyes. Fuck, that's so much better...

"Do you need anything else?" Tim asks, hesitating. "I can get you some tea, or a blanket—no, you said it's too hot, um—do you want a sleep mask? Or I can—"

Kon reaches up, grabs one of his hands, and hauls him back down to sit on the rug. It takes a mildly herculean amount of effort, but he lifts his head next, scoots over, and places it on Tim's thigh, so that he can tuck his face (and ice pack) into his stomach. "Shut up," he mumbles, "and just... stay."

If it's too cold, or uncomfortable, Tim makes no indication. He just lets out a soft, "Oh," and then, to Kon's delight, threads his fingers tenderly into his hair. "...Is this okay?"

If his touch was a little more direct, if his gentle caresses were any faster, it'd be too much. But as it is, it's helping, and if he stops anytime soon, Kon might cry.

"Better'n okay," he answers, and despite his migraine, he smiles slightly against Tim's shirt.
