Strange Sensations I crave:

1: taking my spine out and wringing it real good so it cracks every area and helps the pain (fuck scoliosis)

2: taking my eyes out and putting them into a glass of cold water (refreshing for dry eye)

3: Take my skin off and give it a very good scrubbing and moisturizing (no more itchy eczema)

4: taking my brain out and deep cleaning it then soaking it in an ice bath (I'm convinced this would cure my migraines)

5: Scratching behind my eyes (they are often itchy)

7: eating my many pica cravings without it causing issues (i.e. sand, foaming soap, decorative bar soap)

8: taking my muscles apart and soaking each one in a warm bath and then giving it a deep massage (bye bye achy body)

9: Pulling my sinuses out and rinsing them thoroughly (I think it would help my allergies)

10: removing my bottom jaw to give me a break from my TMJ for a while (self-explanatory)

Please reblog this and add yours so I know I'm not crazy in wanting these things. My therapist says these are symptoms from my OCD so that's fun.

Hi guys! I am so sorry for the long post. I have adhd and I know if I saw this I would skim past but if you have migraines or know lots about migraine treatment PLEASE READ I’m getting super desperate now. I’ve had chronic headaches for about 10 years and chronic migraines for about 7. For me this means I get at least 1 headache every single day (that will not respond to normal OtC painkillers except sometimes aspirin) and about 3-10 migraines in a fortnight (recently this has been closer to a migraine every day or every other day).

I’ve been prescribed:

Propranolol (as a preventative)

— something about relaxing blood vessels

Topamax

—theres apparently an idea of treating the migraines as mini seizures

Imigran/Relpax

—taken when I get a migraine (works about 80% of the time if I am also able to lie down in the dark and do nothing for a few hours after taking it. If not drops to working about 50% of the time)

The tests/treatments I’ve done to investigate the cause of the migraine (sometimes done as an aside to another issue):

Brain scan, eye test, hearing test, dentist(TMJ pain), chiro (got an upper back and neck scan), blood test (low iron but no change since taking iron) and other shit that I can’t remember. I’m also booked in for a neurologist but not till September.

I’m a musician (trumpet and composer) and I often have to miss rehearsals and starting to miss shows and I’m doing more musicals/productions and those kind of settings (noise, hours, focus, cramped) tend to trigger migraines and saying that it’s starting to bum me out is a bit of an understatement haha if anyone has any advice I’d love to hear it

Edit: (Additional Info)

Imma keep listing things I’ve done to try and improve my headaches/migraines with varying results

-drink more water (probs helped)

-drink electrolytes (too soon to tell/I might be placebo-ing myself into thinking it’s working)

-get those ice hat things (sometimes works but also only after I have a migraine)

-air purifier (who knows)

-meditation (helps me sleep?)

-put plants in my room (who knows in terms of air quality but the plants are nice)

-humidifier (sinuses are less dry?)

-sinus wash thing (who knows)

-somnilight migraine glasses and fl-41 glasses (seem to help a bit?)

-blue light glasses (who knows/maybe a placebo)

-weird pressure point things that go on the webbing bit in between my thumb and pointer (nope)

Edit 2:

-track barometric pressure (I’m in western australia and it’s not been the rainy season since I started tracking it so tbd)

-got a sleep mouthguard for TMJ pain (helped with jaw pain, less waking up with a headache)

-therapy (not specific to migraines but apparently counts as treatment?)

-dark chocolate (like I’m talkin 70%cocoa - or more honestly helps a lil if it’s a moderate headache - might be a placebo)

it appears i may have tmj disorder

[anthropwashere]

Mm. Been a couple weeks since I hit the combination Hurts To Move My Eyeballs and Railroad Spike in My Cerebellum territory of migraine hell. So this day is a wash and it's barely 9 a.m.

[peepthatbish]

Anyone got any recs for foods to eat if it hurts to move your jaw? I don’t have any soups or anything. I suppose I could just have tea for dinner?

Anyway, if anyone has any recs lemme know ig

Am I ill?

Sometimes I start to wonder if I really am chronically ill. Do I really wake up every day with pain or am I just faking it all the time? I know other people actually have these issues and they are very much real, but to me, I don't know what is real for myself anymore. I try so hard to be normal, yet the pain comes back. It always will come back. I wake in the mornings with a killing pain surging through my jaw. I know that last night I must have been fighting monsters, swinging swords that allow me to defeat these dragons lingering in the mountains. Yet, today as I wake up the pain isn't from a dragon or those monsters I fought, it's from my trying to dislocate once more. The throbbing pain in my head isn't from being flung against the wall of a dragon's den, that pain is from my chronic migraines that linger in me causing it almost impossible to eat and hold my food down. That surging sensation that spirals in my belly, drifting up towards my heart and seeping through my veins isn't the poison of my enemy trying to defeat me at last, this is the anxiety that causes me to isolate myself until everything is fine again. The anxiety that holds me back from chasing these wild imaginations because I'm not okay. I don't think I ever will be okay, but am I really ill?

Death and destruction to all Wellness influencers/believers ofc but if you ever wanted evidence that their entire worldview of "health" is based on outward markers of wealth and social status (thinness and attractiveness) I present without comment this image of an equinox rooftop exercise class in New York City when smog and pollution levels from wildfire smoke were the worst in the world and the air quality was stated to be "hazardous for all residents"

[thelaughingmerman]

They got me with a migraine again boys

[engagemythrusters]

evidently controversial take: i don't mind if people get botox. yes, even if it's to alter their face to fit some beauty standard. why? cause if botox is easy to get, that means that I, a disabled person whose quality of life could be drastically improved by botox, won't have to jump through the hoops i jump through on a regular basis to get help i need.

This migraine best be backing off. I wanna play cyberpunk when my kid goes to bed. I took the ol millennial remedy of Tylenol and monster.
