I recognize the irony of this, but sometimes I like to fall asleep to the No Sleep podcast.

“It has awoken, and it is coming.”

This is why I personally am looking forward to fully self-driving cars. We’re a long way off, but when self-driving cars can completely replace the human element, I think the world will be a much safer place.

Nah, Aimovig is the first for me. I literally just requested to up the dose like an hour ago, so assuming that goes through hopefully that will completely knock it out from there. If not, I’ve heard good things about Emgality and another one I’m drawing a blank on the name for, so I can always see about revisiting those if needed.

Good deal that the Emgality is working for you!

I’d be happy to do so, but I’m not quite sure how to post something to a cat community on Kbin. If you don’t mind giving me a 20 second tutorial, I’d be appreciative! I’ll post to one or two of the cat communities on Lemmy though since I’m here.

Huh, interesting. Not sure why I never thought to try making my own. I might look into that. Appreciate it!

I do take a multivitamin that does have some B vitamins in it.

Err…correction. I did take a multivitamin, but apparently I ran out and never picked up more. Checked after I started typing. So maybe I should see about picking up either B vitamins or multivitamins.

Funnily enough, I started to have seizures shortly after I first started having my migraines. That was many years ago, and fortunately they stopped, or at least they appear to have. I did ask about that, which prompted a followup EEG, which showed all clear though.

I’ve heard that suggested before, and that should be much easier to get here too. Might be worth at least asking.

How has the Vyepti been helping out? Depending on how things go when we up the Aimovig, I might consider switching. Overall it’s been pretty great though, so I don’t want to switch away from it yet. No huge side effects and for the most part it’s been pretty effective.

Fortunately I haven’t been puking, but got pretty close. I’m mostly recovered now but I’ll have to keep that in mind. The doctor set me up on a round of prednisone and that seems to be knocking it.

I’ve only had these kinds of migraines a handful of times and fortunately they’ve gone away on their own, though I had one that was like 10 days (which I know because it made me break down and download a migraine tracker). That was brutal. Figured after that one, and seeing that this one was taking its time I decided to call the doc, though I might just try the ER next time to see if they can do something even quicker.

Ha, and that tells you just how much I know about any of that. I’m of the way better now, thank you. For some reason I started smelling brown sugar, which is interesting.

My fiancé got it, as she loves sunflowers. And we appreciate you too!

I’m doing my part!

Make it a scotch for me! I don’t even put ice in it. Got a neat little cup that goes in the freezer to chill it.

And here’s the thing - feeling too lazy to drink it? Just put it in an IV. All the hydration and none of the effort.

I started my Aimovig back in February I think, and we started at the lower dose to appease insurance. That has been pretty good but hopefully the 140mg dose goes well, and that insurance doesn’t fight us on this. Given these few hiccups but otherwise overall dramatic improvement, I think they’ll be onboard with it.

Oh dang, I remember reading about those glasses a while back. Appreciate the reminder. I’ll check them out. Technically my eyeglasses have blue light filtering, but given I work IT, improving the blue light limitation could prove beneficial so it’s at least worth a shot.

Yeah, I’ve seen this mentioned in a couple other comments, as well as ice packs. Seems simple enough that I’ll have to give it a try. Thank you!
