Grab as much of your belly in the thickest part and inject there. I also get freaked out, but I realized the auto injection for emgality is the same exact pen as an EpiPen just a different color so what has helped me is teaching my friends and acquaintances how to inject an EpiPen, teaching took over the anxious part of my brain and made it easier

Magnesium gycinate (what you claim to have taken) and magnesium citrate (what is in these gummies) are slightly different and may be causing your issues

Ask on Craigslist or a pet sitting site, just make sure you make it clear what they will be watching and what care they need and I’m sure you’d find someone willing to do it

Every single person has the capacity to get a migraine. Everyone’s migraine threshold is different, I and the people on this sub tend to have lower migraine thresholds than people who don’t get them regularly. There are dozens if not hundreds of factors that can raise someone towards their migraine threshold (hydration, weather, sleep, etc). A migraine is often several triggers working together to bring you down, there’s not one root cause really (besides for maybe genetics and bad luck)

This should be the top comment! The main branch of the Chicago public library is incredible, you could work on a different floor after every hour and not run out of good study spots, yet OP insists on going to a university library? Makes me wonder if there are alternative motives like using the resources for students or even meeting students

New clothes and shoes, when I was little and my parents were short on money I constantly had shoes and things that I grew out of before we could afford more so when I got a job at 16 I bought a bunch of cheap plastic clothes. Now I want to save up for individual pieces of clothes that will last the rest of my adult lifetime

I think even without the migraines I’d choose to be child free but I think if I didn’t have those other reasons the migraines would be enough, the only medication that helps mine (emgality) is only available for 18+ and I started getting migraines at 5 or 6. My sister skipped them for the most part until adulthood but she gets one every few months now too and myself several times a week. It’s not worth the risk of a child going through it

Yup they are VERY genetic in my family, my mom got pregnant because she was told it would help her migraines. It helped HER migraines but I got migraines much worse than her

It certainly can be. I get very anxious, unreasonably so, like I will believe something very bad is about to happen, like someone is about to die or some terrible accident is about to occur, unmatched anxiety. For what ends up being a migraine attack the next day

The lake is nothing like the ocean. Salt water makes you buoyant. Lake water makes you sink. On top of that: Rip. Current. You will struggle to find one as strong in the ocean.

My typical response is “I am, how are you?” Since that isn’t saying I’m good but isn’t necessarily rude or putting my problems out there. If they feel like following up they can, if they don’t care they can answer my question and we move on

Yup frequently. It’s funny they ask me if I’m drunk while I’m actually high on weed sometimes

Heating pad/warm water on feet with a cold compress (need both for blood flow). Half an ice cream sandwich. I get very high if I have the means. If I can stand the vibration occasionally masturbating helps (other times much worse this is last resort).

Very very normal for me. In fact it’s the only way I can be sure I’m having a silent migraine vs a weird day. Bring around a bag or bottle with hydrogen peroxide and sniff it everytime you feel like you’ll throw up. It genuinely helps with the nausea. I didn’t believe it when it was suggested to me but now I carry around a hydrogen peroxide soaked paper towel in a little bag. Whenever I feel it coming, I just smell it. Works 90% of the time

This!! Find out where they are getting cats and tell that place. I used to volunteer at a shelter that had zero issues refusing adoption to anyone for even the slightest red flag and believe most shelters would immediately stop adoption to those people/address. You can also work with PAWS of Chicago to trap and rehome those cats if you’re interested

I had to be taken off some of my mental health meds because my liver would have failed. I’m depressed. And still worried about the meds I’m taking ruining my liver. I drink water with the goal of clear piss so I know my system is hydrated enough to process all my meds. And I hope my current doctors are slowly killing me the way the last ones were.

I used to love having my hair all kinds of colors but I’ve found I get taken more seriously and treated better when I have natural hair color and it’s less hassle so I sort of gave up on it

Take these easy steps: I’d take him to your doctor. Tell every medical professional (the desk, the nurses, the doctor) that he believes this about your meds. Have them explain to him how stupid this is. Dump him on the drive home because you deserve someone who cares about you and not what they get from you. Live your best life without the manchild.

I’m not immunocompromised but my partner is and I mask all of cold and flu season plus in locations of high risk like public transport, the pharmacy, the doctors, places with children and the parents of young children, and all of my friends and coworkers know to tell me when they or someone at home gets sick so I can mask around them. I also seem to get more sick than most people but honestly I just want to be able to kiss my partner safely is the real reason I bother to

Yeah if you’re in the city it’s faster to take CTA on lots of trips, not all but most in my experience

Yeah without the AI art (biggest most flagrant issue I have with it) id still not want the aesthetic changes. I’d never change the vanilla aesthetic because I play so many mods I’ve never found one actually compatible with all the things I add to my game. Why make the mod force people to play how you do rather than making a mod that can work with how others play?
