Migraine Self-Care Suggestions?
Jan. 21st, 2016 08:07 pmHi,
I am a disabled autistic trans womon struggling with severe migraines, severe sensory sensitivities, chronic headaches, coordination issues, chronic pain, rsi, and ptsd, as well as allergies and asthma.
My hobbies including roleplaying games, historical games, history, sci-fi, lesbian sci-fi, spoonie sci-fi, and various other things. Unfortunately, my migraines and brain fog get in the way of my hobbies.
My sociotype is ILI, my Myers-Briggs type is probably INFP or INTP, my Dykes to Watch Out For Type is Mo, but disabled.
I drink a lot of tea. I can't take Nsaids, they hurt my intestines. I can take acetominophen, but rarely do. I can't take gabapentin.
I could really use reading suggestions and light gaming suggestions which don't involve long setup times for tabletop games, intense focus, or flashing lights for computer games. I tried "Choice of Robots" but screwed up, can't go back, and don't want to go through all the same scenes again today. I haven't been reading as much science fiction lately.
Unfortunately, some stories are too confusing, others are too dark, and others are too focused on clearly-allistic characters who are at home under sensory bombardment and make quick decisions for me to read with a migraine. I can't follow Joanna Russ's "The Female Man" when I don't have a migraine, I definitely can't when I do.
