A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Ive suffered from migraines starting around middle school till now. I started getting Botox treatment for migraines along with taking an emgality shot that I administer myself monthly and my migraines that would end me up in the hospital almost multiple times a month started to slowly become a distant thing. Now maybe twice a year I'll end up in the hospital. I use relpax if I feel one starting to come on and that also works well to stop it.

There's hope and help out there but it's a pain in the ass road. The Botox injections hurt like a bitch but it's only every 3 months. I get through it by squeezing my hands together while my butcher..I mean.... neurologist administers the shots. It's a lot of shots in a short amount of time.

Had to read the first sentence a few times to make sure you weren't suffering from the disease "middle school"
