Nerveblock

I have struggled with chronic migraines since the age of about 6 or 7. I am 17 now, and my migraines are now at a 7-9/10 every day. I don’t know what to do because no treatments have worked for me. I haven’t been at school for around a month because of the migraines and then I also have multiple severe mental illnesses which have only recently been somewhat decreased in severity. I got a nerve block today and I had really hoped that it would be able to provide some relief but it didn’t work and I feel so hopeless. I don’t know if I can get aimovig because I’m not 18 yet, and even if I can get it my insurance probably won’t cover it. I don’t know if I will have to quit my job and not go to school next year. I just don’t know what to do at all. I’m scared to age out of the paediatric system because the adult system in Canada is awful for people with migraine and generally assumes you’re “drug seeking” or so I’ve heard. I’m really scared that things just aren’t going to get better. #ChronicHeadaches #Nerveblock

I've never really been a sweets or candy person. I am a fan of chocolate but haven't really touched non-chocolate candy in my adult life. My preferred flavor profile leans generally toward savory.

I recently had my first surgery with anesthesia. A surprising side effect from recovery has been an intense craving for sugar. As my anesthesia was wearing off, I craved sugar so intensely I devoured a bag of red licorice I'd acquired for my son for Halloween. Had to take an antihistamine to avoid autoimmune reaction. I truly couldn't resist. Next day I made some butter mints. Ate those and made more. Now they're mocking me in the fridge ... I will be stronger than some butter and sugar.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know why this happens? What do sugar cravings mean to someone who hasn't had them before? #Fibromyaliga #Nerveblock #anesthesia #sugarcravings

I received my #Nerveblock shots today. It’s my 2nd time but it didn’t make me feel all good like it did the 1st time! :/ It actually gave me a headache and I’m still waiting on them to kick in so I can live my best life for as long as there going to last. Praying I wake up pain free.
