Hi all. I’m new to this group. Is anyone here from the Toronto (Canada) area? I’ve been looking for local support groups but Google has turned up nothing, sadly.

Does anyone get euphoric migraines? What do you do that is medication free to get them to stop?

I live in an area that is very bad for drugs. That being said, as someone with a chronic condition I’m not even comfortable taking pain medication because I feel like it makes me a target. Does anyone else run into this problem when dating? I won’t even take gabapentin because apparently it has a high street value

That’s definitely something to keep in mind… It’s awful that this is even something that has to be considered when we take these kinds of medications. My father, who lived with chronic pain alongside his disabilities, always told me about how he never discussed his medications with people after catching theft in the act, time and time again.…Read More

I’m not sacrificing my comfort for fears. I have taken them for over 13 years at this moment. I was born and raised in an area, where YES, you may be a target in the parking lot etc. They do sit and watch, lurk behind you in line to hear what you are picking up etc. Pharmacies in those areas typically will have a guard go to your car with you…Read More

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia back in 2010. I have tried all kinds of prescription medications and have never found anything to really work for me. I also feel like it is different with everyone: what might work for me may not work for 20 others. That being said: I use cannabis and I exercise. Yoga has helped me a lot, as well. I am prescribed…Read More

Hi! I suffer from fibromyalgia, chronic migraines and a few other conditions. I seem to have lost my way in life..as in, I have no drive to do anything.

After ALL of these years, I had thought I was alone! I didn’t even know there was a true name for them until now– I just always called it post-migraine high. It makes me want to eat a TON of food and I just feel SO good after the migraine finally breaks. I try to drink plenty of water as one of my big migraine triggers is dehydration and that…Read More
