So in not great news, I’ve developed a trauma response to my migraines.
I just had a faint niggle of pain on the right side of my head—likely caused by my neck muscles being jacked up from yesterday’s migraine and the hours upon hours of throwing up—and while my original response to potentially getting a migraine was weary resignation, I just had what can only be accurately described as a panic attack.
Like full on, couldn’t breathe past my terror, vision tunneling in a way I haven’t experienced since [redacted trauma], ‘it feels like I’m having a heart attack’ panic.
Which is not… not great to begin with but it’s really not good when you have a mast cell disorder where stress can be an anaphylactic trigger, which it is for me, which is why I’ve spent the last for years trying to regulate my nervous system and get a handle on my complex trauma.
Only now, due to the severe amounts of pain I’m in every ten days or fewer, I’m experiencing total emotional dysregulation from the mere thought of having another migraine.
And now I have a headache from the panic attack because it triggered my POTS and now my blood pressure is fucked 🫠
I legitimately cannot do this anymore. This is going to kill me.

it's wild that popular discourse around migraines is that there are too many people who claim to have migraines but "just have bad headaches". this is the exact opposite of my experience? i'm still trying to convince several of my friends that their "bad tension headaches" that are unilateral, throbbing, cause light sensitivity, nausea, etc, are migraines lmao. migraine is underdiagnosed and undertreated by every metric i can think of.
this narrative is not harmless! it prevents people from getting treatment that could really benefit them. so i would like it to die. thank you.
#migraine#chronic pain#i do think this is better in specifically migraine/disability spaces#and it's also improving with time#if you're reading this and wondering if i'm talking about you: yes probably <3 besties ily but pls get some help pain relief is possible#lou is loud

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?

I'm a freak who likes this end of daylight savings better because it feels like sleeping in
#every year it's like this my body breathes a crazy migraine driven sigh of relief because it's actually waking up at a natural time#m2a

laughing, imagining anakin being a model for one of those cheesy oil painted romance book covers, with all his dark blonde curls and golden tanned skin and ~passion~. meanwhile obi-wan being an university professor with a soft spot for those cheesy silly romances.
que one day obi-wan runs into the embodiment of all his wet dreams in the local grocery store "you need help with that?" the young adonis asks, eyebrow raised at the higher shelf
the granola obi-wan was reaching for is not so far out of his reach that he wouldn't have been able to get it if the trajectory of his hand wasn't halted to such an abrupt and sudden stop at the sight of him.
all eloquence usually so prominent in the man had decided on an early retirement and left obi-wan absolutely mute
anyways..... obi-wan is left with the granola and anakin's number:)
primary because anakin just gives it to him, with a little cocky smirk on his lips and a promise to 'help him with the tall shelves' in the future.
"just call me, if you need...help" the brat (impossibly tall, impossibly handsome) brat says.
obi-wan is weak in the knees.
he decides to never use the number, he can't just call some younger guy that looks (upon closer inspection) identical to the one on the book cover. he just can't. that's indecent.
he calls a week later. he's not a strong man.
#the migraine raging through my brain is so strong i dont even know what i had written just that it had given me small relief of it#just ~VIBES~ i've seen a post ranting about how poorly photoshopped covers replaced the dramatic and hot oil painted ones and my bran#just snapped this to anakin MOST DEFINETLY looking good as a sexy oil painted lead#obikin#obikin au#star wars#buns.hc#tho jeez i need a different tag for this sort of stuff#buns.all

How can I do anything or get anything done or think about a single want or need at all, when the alarm that rings in my ears and through my body is shouting: "I'M SO TIRED, I MUST LIE DOWN, I NEED TO LIE DOWN, I'M SO DAMN TIRED, WHAT THE F---, I NEED TO LAY DOWN NOW" and that replays over and over until I'm finally, yes, lay in bed like my damn broken body & mind wanted.

i know i'm not allowed to give up yet bc i've only been on objectively mediocre migraine preventatives and i haven't even tried botox yet but that's actually not that comforting when it's been several years of chronic migraine, and an entire consecutive year of unrelenting pain, to some degree or another, and trialing said mediocre preventatives, and my insurance company has made it very clear that they don't want me to get botox or one of the monthly CGRP antagonist injections and they'd probably rather i just die so they don't have to keep denying my claims. god. i, too, wish i was dead. but i'm still here and it still hurts so could i at least have some medical care please???
#lou is loud#migraine#suicide mention#i'm past the triptan rebound headaches too :( it's still bad#i'm starting to think about taking them again ngl#i know in the long term i'll just have to go off again but goddd they're the only thing that brings meaningful relief that lasts more than#a few hours tbh#a few hours is pushing it with most of my meds i really don't have any options that even consistently work for that long#also crazy that no one has let me so much as touch an opioid yet even though i've failed almost everything else#i don't like. Want to be on opioids. i don't think anyone does. but i'm desperate

Ok I changed my mind, these are my babies now.
Ok I will be the first to admit that sleep deprivation makes me hysterical, and all these guys needed was a good wash and dry. And I really ought to iron them as well, although I doubt I will. In my defense tho, I haven't woven with cotton in a while, and I forgot that warp-faced lifeless garbage washes into very sturdy and neat little things.
I mean, look at that--I havent washed the very first towel yet because I didnt hemstitch it, and the difference between it and a washed one is pretty stark.
Only thing is they did, predictably, shrink a lot. The two square ones I was hoping could be dish mats are much more napkin sized now, and I have once again produced. Small hand towels. Should have cut out one of the squares and added that extra length to everything else. I am still really happy with them though. Especially the hemstitching. I wasn't all that comfortable hemstitching before this--usually I did either rolled hems or fellstitching or else tassels--the last hem only took 2 and half minutes, and it's 190 ish ends. So it's way faster than I thought it would be ! Plus, my mom inherited a bunch of (much finer) handwoven Italian textiles from her dad, and they all had a very short fringe almost like this. Just with like 1/10th the epi xD.
...I really want a finer dent reed.
Anyway. Now I just gotta put my fuckin loom back together, and then the big blanket project that I've been putting off for months.
#weaving#cotton#towels#hand woven#the relief you guys.... its real#also finished steam cleaning my carpet and putting my shoulders and thumbs back in their stupid sockets#and now i am taking a smal break to celebrate and chug a monster zero and smoke several cigarettes#my newest migraine meds have decimated my appetite and old habits have immediately returned :/ RIP#yesterday all i had was a burrito and thats because my sister handed it to me#if she'd put it on the counter or in the fridge it woulda stayed there#anyway the cleaning is proceeding slowly but apace. and fueled by a lot of caf and nicotine and stress#ah well#might make more tabouleh tho#id eat tabouleh..... would never turn that down#hm..
