I had my car relocated so many times for filming (without notice, at least that I ever saw) when I was an undergrad living in Lakeview and at class and then would have to spend hours making calls and walking the streets to figure out where the moved it to. (Usually over by the lake)

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

I'm so glad you've found some relief! Before I got on medication, I spent years just "dealing" with them, which was so incapacitating, but still infrequent, a few times a month. Can't even imagine your frequency, I'm sorry you've had to deal with it!

Ah, thank you! I don’t have nearly that many. At least yet, my mom really went through it with menopause so I’m strapping in for possible changes soon.

May I ask, what do you mean by rebound headache? I get infrequent migraines and take sumitriptan as soon as I get the aura (mine start with aa 25-minute aura that washes across my vision) and then I don't have the pain and it takes exactly 20 minutes for the aura to go away. Still dull headache, tho
