[INFJ] Migraines!!!

[Remy Z]

Awesome. Feel free to PM me about all things trickster gods, it's sorta an obsession of mine. Also if you have questions navigating around here don't hesitate to ask any staff member

Also lavender and aspirin are good for headaches as has already been brought up. And water. You'd be surprised how many headaches are actually caused by dehydration. But it does sound like your problem may have more underlying issues than just that. Good luck to you friend!

Why not start a Trickster thread? We have 3 interested people at least. There's people from around the world on here so maybe we'll hear about a lot of others.

Migraines! Life's way of making life brighter!
REALLY, REALLY, FECKING BRIGHTER!
lol

This made me genuinely giggle! That's exactly how it feels for me, light and sound is just painfully amplified exponentially. I was taking topiramate as it is intended for migraine sufferers who don't respond to medication treatments, but alas, it doesn't work for me. The best method for me is quiet and darkness till it passes. I've had them last days before. Ugh.

Oh, and I totally love the trickster thread idea. Let's make it happen! ❤

Glad I gave a giggle!
I'm glad to say I thought that one up myself.
Laughing is better then crying!
Starting the Trickster thread : NOW!

Acd, I've been meaning to ask you; isn't Baba Yaga an aborigine monster? Like a world destroyer? I'm going to look it up!
To the Google Cave!

Is there a way to move the Trickster posts over to the Trickster thread?

Some people may have migraines from cervical spine pinched nerves. The neck is known to send signals up into the head. Also, estrogen issues and things like head trauma/car crash cause them too. I don't have migraines per se (just a general headache that never went away since I was 5 years old), but I have fibromyalgia, so it seems like everything hurts, everywhere. I think fibromyalgia is also hormonal and related to pinched/overactive nerves. No pharmaceuticals help me, so I just live with the pain. If any of these disorders were mental, surely one of the 20+ psychotropic drugs that I've tried would have helped by now. It's a shame that they use psychotropic drugs on people with neurological problems. It bothers the hell out of me that we have luxury drugs like Viagra and Botox, but yet we can't cure pain disorders to help people do their jobs and live their everyday lives better.

My migraines started around first grade. I'd run a light fever. They mostly happen from spring, summer, and into early fall. I do have them in the winter but rarely.
I think mine are at least partially an allergic reaction to something in my environment.
After 2 small car wrecks and some whip lash, I've had them more often.
Going to a chiropractor helps a lot also.

That's interesting. I'm wondering if it's the moisture in the air or the air-pressure, as opposed to the allergens.

I would still get an MRI of the brain done at least once every 5-10 years, because studies show that migraines can cause brain lesions over time, and you may want to keep tabs on it. Honestly, MRIs of the brain should be done on everyone at their annual physical, at each decade of life if they have any kind of symptoms. Doctors get a baseline for every other organ, except the "master organ!!" Aside from migraines, for all we know, there could be "ADHD kids" or "autistic kids" with lesions too... we just don't know because society doesn't want to blow money on anyone until they become A+ taxpayers! I also think it'd be an interesting study if they did an MRI of the brains of all the prisoners in a given place (particularly murderers), to see if they can find anything "wrong" with them. But I'm digressing.

Sending strength your way to live with the pain!
