Every. Single. Time.

Since I was a kid, summer meant horrible sleep. I used to not be able to sleep until 7-9am. It's literally been 20 years and this is still a problem, except I'm no longer a kid with no responsibilities anymore.

Not sleeping for a night makes me feel like I've been hit by several trains, now it's for the next 3 months again.. My body and brain simply cannot do well with 15 hours of daylight.

Does anyone else experience this?

P.S. I literally write this at 6am, so yay, it has begun 😭.

Also I've been medicated for the past 2 ½ years (Trazodone, Ambien, sometimes Xanax too if it's really bad). It took a while to find a combination that works, but - aside from summer - it works. I cannot wait for wintery nights to have the absolute bestesttt sleeps and naps.

Hello, everyone! I've had chronic, daily migraines for ~7 years and lately they have been incredibly disabling. Aside from the pain being literally ongoing every single day, the intensity has also increased past a point that lets me function on a day to day basis.

I've been discussing with my neurologist for while that I want to try a new preventative. With the help of my insurance, I could get Emgality or Ajovy, but my doctor is reluctant as "the side effects aren't worth it". However, I want to try, because at worst, I'm still in pain, but at best, I can get better! 😭

How did these meds help you? Did they help with any side effects, other than the headaches? I'm talking especially tight muscles, nausea, light sensitivity? Please, tell me all about your experience - good or bad.
