Thank you all for the kind responses

I had to drive several hours to hold my mothers hand while my father had a heart transplant, can you guess what the first thing she said to me was? “Bulking up, are you?” Of all the things to say and of all the times! And I actually had lost weight! I want to wear just leggings or shorts and a sports bra and feel good…

I’m getting a raise in February and I plan on buying it then! For now I’m ball-parking the metrics since my cheap sunny fitness bike doesn’t record cadence and I’ve no idea if what I think is 40-60 resistance is actually anywhere near it. I’m loving the classes, the bike is super pricy though and I definitely need to hold…

I second the measuring tape idea: my scale hasn’t budged much in forever but I’ve lost 4 inches from my hips and one from my waist and that keeps me going!

GottaBurnEmAll has a very good point when she says it is a spectrum. It’s also rather nasty to minimize someone’s pain because they can function while in pain. You can’t possibly know and understand the OP’s nuances, symptoms, occurrence and severity of their headaches/migraines like they do. I know if I stopped what I was…

I have always been under the impression that you will know if you’re over training because everything will hurt and you feel like dying. In all seriousness though, I’m going to assume you’re doing lighter weights and high reps for those strength training sessions? I’ve always found those easy. The HIIT sessions are all on…

MHarper, that’s how I feel when I have to take imitrex too. Like I didn’t get enough sleep or am slightly hungover. I have never heard of Keto reducing headaches. The only dietary changes my Neurologist has suggested, besides avoiding triggers, is magnesium and vitamin b12. I’m going to have to read up on the Keto thing.…

If you google bodyweight exercises, a large number of suggestions and programs come up. I’m sure a qualified professional will correct me if I’m wrong here, but just about any good exercise program with body weight movements will help your legs. You don’t need to -just- do a million squats and lunges. I’d look for a…

I honestly didn’t start getting relief until the second shot, and the articles I’ve read suggest it takes 2-3 months for the full effect.

I’ve been using Aimovig for 2 months and I’m finding that it works as well as Botox. There are some who relief is instant, and some who don’t have any relief at all on it. At least based off some of the “reviews” I have read. I’m glad the company that makes it is giving 2 months free, and have discount programs for new…

Consistency, at least for me, looks nothing like other people’s. I cannot have a “gym buddy” because they would definitely get frustrated with me and I’m terrified of someone thinking that I use my migraines as an excuse to get out of social engagements. Some weeks I have an exercise logged every day (Apple Watch) and my…

I also use this brand and have not had any problems.

If you’re in the US, there is a new class of prevention treatments that just hit the market this year. I am finishing up the free trial for Aimovig, and I’m pretty impressed. I was having quarterly Botox injections. My sumatriptan seems to be more effective on the newer drug and I’m having slightly less than what I did on…
