So im struggling pretty hard rn. As summer ends the days are gonna get darker and more overcast and this is where i start to struggle big time with migraines. Something about overcast skies, dark days and artificial lighting makes me feel dizzy and sick pretty much constantly to the point where I cant even read text and just want to hide under covers and close my eyes but unfortunately my day job requires this.
So far I have found i get some comfort from cooler diffuse lighting specifically from my SAD lamp pointed at my wall but these shits are expensive and i cant exactly line every corner of my house with them. Most bulbs are too warm or flicker too much so other than spending hundreds gluing lumie lamps to every surface idk what to do.
Edit: Alright looks like im spending half my savings on Hue bulbs. Thanks Philips
Have you tried any gepant drugs for migraines? Triptans suck and topiramate is not only unhelpful but actively dangerous, but CRGP agonists are only about 5 years old and seem to be really helpful for a lot of people.
I’m about a month into esketamine therapy and I haven’t had a migraine in a couple of weeks. I was even shocked to find that a standard strength acetominophen alone was sufficient to lift a headache I had last night.
I have to psyche myself up real good to talk to an NHS doctor cos they either dont give a shit at all or actively want me to drop dead. I should actually go though its just hard to stand up for myself
