Very interesting. I developed sinus problems living in a very polluted area years ago and they made my migraine pain much worse (same frequency, but so much more painful). Thanks for sharing!

And new drug family is always much more hopeful than another medicine in the same category. :)

Yeah I know. In a way you’re really lucky! I haven’t been able to eat chocolate consequence-free for 20 years now. But food is one of the most commonly identified things for triggering or lowering the threshold for getting a migraine. It’s strange that someone wouldn’t try food triggers, like OP, while seeing doctors.

I’m really surprised your “best doctors” never did elimination diets with you. Food triggers are incredibly common with migraines.

I think the biggest drawback in trying this is the safety issue. Antibody treatments are very cutting edge and this might be the first one meant to be used long term (vs limited term for cancer treatments). Trial period for this drug was 12-24 weeks. Unlike the off-label drugs the side effects and long term effects…

Fellow hemiplegic migraine patient? <3

There’s three more coming out soon.

My neurologist (also headache specialist) is pretty pessimistic about it. Tried these past couple of years to get me into one of the Phase 3 trials for the four Ab migraine drugs coming out (this is the first that’s made it to market, but the other three are close behind), and I was rejected for multiple factors.

Right?! I live in the heart of the breakfast/brunch neighborhood of Tel Aviv, and I don’t think any local cafes serve falafel. Most shawarma/falafel places don’t even open until noon.

This should be a lifehack post of it’s own.

You forgot tip #1: See what software is available for free or via heavy discount from your school.

Just found out my partner of nearly a decade was having an affair because the other woman found out about me and informed me. As shitty as my life has been since, I’m grateful to her.

Women sometimes have pockets large enough for a hairtie!

Moleskin plus Tombow Onbook for me.

Gooble-gobble! Gooble-gobble!

I can only imagine! I have to wear sunglasses basically nonstop, and if the pressure from them gave me migraines.... *shudder*

I get horrible migraines, too, but head pressure has never been a trigger.

Donate some of your large-head-ness to me, because mine is overly small.

Contact local rescue organizations. Rescues are privately-run groups and not only work very hard to have influential connections in their local animal welfare world, but may have the know-how to bypass or intimidate your awful police folk.

The fact that Albert Sisko did not work at a Creole restaurant in New Orleans is incredibly disappointing to me. That is all.
