not coping

@outlander, it sounds like there is a lot of pressure from your family. That would be hard considering everything you are juggling with 💖🫂

Meds do help migraines but don’t eliminate them, sadly 😞

yeah its a bugger it would be nice to have a cure for them but at least they help abit @creative_writer


i think it depends on the company @Eve7
the 2 i work for i have to be symptom free , at least 10 days. i can return back if symptoms are mild but th test has to be negative and i have to wear ppe till im negative. i work with mostly immunocompromised people- like cancer patients or past or others that have an immune disorder besides the dementia clients so i have to be really careful with any cold or flu. one wont even let me in the house if i have allergies playing up

@outlander, I wish there was a cure. You can try to minimise triggers but it’s hard to do it all the time. I have sensory related triggers too, which creates a lot of frustration

its an awful condition esp for those that are affected more then a cold like some seem to get. @Former-Member so i would hate to be the one that passes it to someone who is more at risk



@creative_writer i definently understand. with the triggers. you never really know
would it be ok if i ask you about your sensory issues? i dont have autism or not thats been diagnosed but i feel i have sensory issues but maybe its not the right term for what i experience

@Snowie

@outlander, I was only diagnosed with ASD when I turned 18. It can often go underdiagnosed. Sensory issues can be a part of ASD. I’ve also heard migraine sufferers have sensory sensitivities. I guess it comes down to whether you think you have any other ASD symptoms

@creative_writer

i dont really think i have autism but im more curious about the sensory issues.
for example i struggle with loud and overcrowded places and also loud sudden noises or anything high pitched. sometimes i even get overwhelmed watching a movie on the big screen at cinemas.

i also get overwhelmed by certain foods as well especially when theres various textures, smell/scents

i also get overwhelmed by to many various noises and colours. watching a movie like trolls (the kids musical movie) is abit of a struggle when theres alot of colour everywhere and flashing lights and that sort thing.

is this something you experience as well?
