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!

Nice, looking forward to it.

I’m doing my part!

Apologies if I’ve missed this, but is support for inbox integration planned in the near future? Noticed the other day I messaged someone on desktop, they replied, I saw the notification dot in Memmy but I couldn’t see the message.

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!

I didn't take tums specifically for the nausea, but rather pepto bismol. Didn't really help though...might have to try tums next time though.

As for rose colored glasses...do you mean positivity? Or do you mean literal rose colored glasses?

I've seen this mentioned in other places too. Unfortunately like with weed, there is the legal issue of that where I live, but beyond that honestly I am a little reluctant to try it as I'm a bit of a control freak lol. I think that is something I would prefer to try in a very controlled environment first before jumping into it with a migraine. Appreciate the recommendation though!

Typically I medicate within an hour of symptoms coming up. I've dealt with headaches and migraines for a rather long time, so I've learned not to mess around when they start to pop up. And typically it helps, but every now and then I get one that is rather persistent.

Unfortunately between a bad experience I've had with it in the past and the legal issues of it where I live, I'll hold off on that for now. Might revisit it if/when the legal part changes though. Appreciate the recommendation!
