It might make an interesting video to talk about supplements and diet related topics. Not everyone can afford prescriptions and would be interested in alternative medical treatments. As you stated, a large portion of your audience likely have issues (myself included) and it's nice to know we aren't alone.
This might help you. Bacopa monniera with dicalcium phosphate, with or without good sleep, reduced the severity of my migraine (after 3 consecutive days) to a level where I can function well; I only take it once a day, in the morning (because I noticed that I can't sleep well if I take it at night), for two consecutive weeks, then I taper it. I do this whenever I can't tolerate the pain anymore.
I know for myself and my practice that these symptoms are becoming more and more common likely due to repeated exposure to “u know what.” Polarizes immune system to th17, microglia overactived, neutrophilia, alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors antagonized leading to sympathetic dominance. Obviously Lyme, mold, and heavy metals need to be ruled out (INTJs might be predisposed to leaky gut/brain). But even now I have some of these features. Very difficult to treat.
"It's nothing I can't handle" is *such* an INTJ phrase. :) I hope you find something that works to make those migraines better, or even stop them. It can't be easy and I'm sure you could use a break. Rooting for you.
I have a theory about INTJs and migraines. While INTJs don't have a monopoly on chronic migraines, it does seem to be a common problem. Personally, I had migraines my entire childhood (almost everyday). By the time I reached my 20s, I had them only every few months. By the time I reached my 30s, every few years. Having had two in the last year, something clicked and all the data I have taken in on the subject my entire life, including my own personal experiences with them, began to formulate into an understanding (a possible theory). Before the onset of a migraine a couple months ago, I was trying to explain a complicated topic to a friend of mine. This was a very abstract understanding that has so much data behind it that, by the time the conversation was over -- I felt absolutely exhausted -- even though I felt I barely scratched the surface. The next thing I knew, I started to have an onset of a psychedelic experience. My perspective started getting really trippy and light and sound, ect started getting distorted. Shortly after, I had a massive migraine that cripple me for a couple days. I then thought back to the migraine I had previous a few months prior -- a very similar situation. Then I started thinking back to the last one I had a few years prior .. same kind of situation. And even thinking back to high school -- same situation. Though, back then, it was more of me bringing an abstraction into my art projects. I recall sitting in art class in High School trying to draw something the way I saw it internally; I got that same trippy feeling with dots appearing in my visual field; then, stillness, followed by the most crippling migraine I ever had where I was throwing up every time I was exposed to the light or a sound. It might of been I had them much more frequently when I was younger because I was always working on my art. I still make music from time to time but I seldom ever draw or paint anymore like when I was a kid. So, my theory: migraines, perhaps in everyone, perhaps only in INTJs, has to do with pulling a massive amount of data from the abstract world into the concrete world. If you never yet attempted to pull something into this world, it can leave one with a migraine. In our abstract world, say we have a theory -- there is a massive amount of data in terms of the physical world. Largely, in our internal world, it is non-linear and hard to communicate. By bringing it into this world we have to make it structural, linear, and understandable. This is exhausting and stresses the nervous system tremendously. The thing about migraines is they are issues with things like serotonin -- which is also the chemical say psilocybin or LSD would mess with that would cause a trip. So there seems, from a biological perspective, a correlation with giving ourselves essentially a mini-trip which causes the weird shift in consciousness followed by a migraine where everything gets jammed up trying to make the non-linear, linear. I have no answer to a migraine once its sets in -- except to release on it and wait it out. However, it seems that if one makes more of an effort to slowly pull our abstractions in the physical world more regularly, and don't wait to do it all at once -- its less stress on the nervous system. It could even be that our brains and nervous systems adapt to the new us, in a similar way how you get soar after lifting weights and then the muscle grows back bigger and stronger. Maybe that is our brain becoming more ready to utilize our abstractions (or something along that line). Hope that helps or is at least food for thought. There is more to this of course, my current theory, but it went on long enough -- but that's the general gist. Thanks for the videos, Joe
I feel sorry for your health and hope you will get better...You may not realize it, but authentic videos like yours are much more useful than superficial videos like "How to get rid of migraine", "5 tips to improve your health", etc....because even though I do not experience any health problems like you, it in fact makes me realize how lucky I am that the main problem in my life is not a health problem, but non-sense stuff like nihilism which i guess only people who have no serious problems can think about...
I’m an ENTP doctor treating challenging INTJ female cases involving neuro inflammation, chronic fatigue, and autonomic dysfunction. Best results so far through modulating the microglia (brain immune cells) with certain peptides (natural cell signals). My patients will communicate with you if u want.
My IBS was what caused my mental health issues. The health issues were sort of bad too, but really under the radar. You seem like a really strong woman, so keep strong. Maybe there's an answer for the migraines; where if they were to disappear the clouds would also disappear. Maybe another change in your diet? You could always try low FODMAP - negative 6 sugars, including lactose and whatever holds gluten. Just a left field suggestion, all the best.
I know someone who uses Fioricet as needed for migraines. It might be hard to get an Rx, but worth a try. Best of luck, I hope your discomfort can be reduced
Try drotaverine, - this helped to reduce a migrane. Allergy factors may provoke migranes, - try to keep your cats in other place, not near you for some time to check does it help to any degree. Imrove your sleeping time and sleeping quality (deeper dreaming phases), don't get overloads. Try to change the living place to where the air is cleaner (allergy), do walking everyday to get more of oxigen. Get more of positive emotions (communicate more with people with who you are feeling good near), as migranes may have emotions as one of factors. Among factors, an anxiety and not good emotional state make worse sleeping, more of load makes you need better and longer sleeping, and worse sleeping than you need may have negative effect on your body working (incl. develop migranes). Medics know not much about reasons of migranes, experiment with methods to reduce it. Sad to know you have so signigicant health problems.
It seems like none of these medications are helping you. I think you should just forget what your doctor recommends and stop taking all of them. I mean don't take vitamin supplements or anything. Just do that for a while and see what happens.
Hey. When you say you are aware that you dreaming, do you mean lucid dreaming? I looked into the topic and see a lot of potential, but sadly I'm still not able to lucid dream myself to test all my theories. But if you look into the topic, it seems you can comunicate more with your body (subconscieous). Maybe that could help with your nightmares, migranes and/or mental health.
Ugh. I am sorry. You are in my prayers. My supervisor has almost the same migraine issues as you. She struggles almost daily and sometimes has to leave work early when they are insanely bad.
I share none of your experiences here, so I will share two semi-related things instead: 1) I now get pretty bad motion sickness in cars; if I focus on *anything* while a passenger, it's quease-o'clock. But this didn't happen to me until age 6, as my family was driving to tour Belcourt Castle, one of those old/fancy Newport, RI mansions. At the time, it was the only one still actively lived in. So we start taking the tour, and trying to recover from this queasiness, I suddenly motion-sicked all over a fancy and big rug in the mansion. We...um...left the tour. 2) From what you've described of your job, maybe there's an opening that fits you in the Seattle City Budget Office at some point. Politically, the budget is a hot-button issue right now, but there are loads of amazing people who work over there, and the City as an employer is pretty good about trying to understand health concerns and not holding them against applicants or employees. Also, I'm one of the two main lawyers in the City Attorney's Office who advises on budget law, so if you got a job there, we'd be in meetings together and that would be cool. Also also, the sun basically hides in Washington from November-March, so maybe that would help the migraines. If you see any Washington state openings for budget stuff, I have a former co-worker down there I could ask about how it is. I think he's a supervisor for some of the state budget.
I hope that you experience improved health and well-being. Thank you for your willingness to communicate and share how you feel. I'm sure it is helpful to the community has most of us have or are experiencing things the challenge us physically or mentally at times. Trust in your own feelings and let them guide you to where you need to go. 🤗
I know this video is old, but I just had to say I can totally relate to how you're feeling. I don't get migraines but I have a list of things wrong with my feet. I had to go through physical therapy because I couldn't walk for more than 15 minutes at a time. I have to do all the stretches and exercises they taught me for the rest of my life because it's going to be a life long problem. It's either that or I get surgery which still may not fix the problem. It really does suck the life out of me and make me depressed sometimes. I'm so tired just from trying to walk properly and from dealing with the pain. I can't always complete chores or participate in things that require physical activity because I'm so drained and just want to lay down. Because I'm so drained all the time I also get very moody and grouchy. I know what you're feeling, you're definitely not alone.
I get what you are saying about having migraines. I suffered from them for many years. Mine was on my right side, behind my eye. It felt like an ice pick was slowly being pushed in for hours. After many years I discovered it had something to do with my eating habits and birth control. Both high in copper. It wasn't uncommon for me to spend 1-3 days a week losing my lunch in the mornings and my energy was so low, yet my anxiety was very high. I often felt like a chalkboard was being scratched with any sudden sound. It was 10x worse on the days I didn't get much sleep. Even though I was quite ill most of the time. The hardest part was people getting upset with me over things I couldn't control. I sure hope you find the answers you are looking for. Migraines truly suck.
Yep, this is my story as well. I got off birth control because I haven't found one that didn't make me sick that was migraine "safe". It's a struggle for sure and really sucks. Mainly because of the misconceptions surrounding migraines and doctors often not knowing how to treat them. Thanks for the support
Good idea to see a Neurologist. They will sort out the migraine problem. Daily medication normally does the trick, but remembering to take them every day is difficult. Mental health may get worse if people isolate themselves from friends.
You're not wrong, but in my case it's a collection of energy and not isolation. I've learned over the years that I need my time alone to sleep and relax. If I continuously force myself to be around others, I can't do that. Instead I just use more energy that needs to go elsewhere. I imagine that's different for everyone. Thanks for the comment!
When these chronic migraines started did you go through a phase were there was a dramatic/traumatic experience in your life that was emotionally/mentally taxing to you? More or less around a one year window period?
I've had them for a long as I can remember, so I'm not sure. I did have traumatic things happen when I was a child that effected me physically such as a bad car accident when I was around 6. At this point, it's hard to place.
I've gone through similar stuff and I knew it was bad when you said you had to skip working out. I would often do the same and just try to triage my day like you describe. Hope you're able to try something new with your specialist that might help! In the meantime, maybe you could make a video (if you haven't yet) on why you want to teach in North Korea, and your background in the language/culture?
Oh my, this sounds very difficult and horrible to deal with. I can relate in a way. With declining health, I always feel so tired and lethargic. I find that my resting heart rate of 70-80 bpm jumps to 170+ with very little exertion (like just getting up from a seated position and walking into another room) and my vision turns everything blue and I feel like I’m going to pass out. Chronic migraines sound so horrendous, since even when resting, you can’t get rid of the pain. I do hope there is something that can be done for you, but it is often disheartening to find that medication and other “solutions” offered provide little relief. I hope you are able to get inspired for your writing and creative output. It would be enjoyable to get to read what you compose, but I realize that those sorts of things are very private and personal.
It comes and goes, and I'm much better now at flowing along with it and adjusting to what I need at any given moment. The only hiccup is working and those obligations that can't be put aside. I'm thinking of trying Botox, actually. I've tired so many medications over the years and have gotten my eyes checked to see if that was it. I think at this point, I just need to accept that chronic means forever and that they'll always be there. Thanks for your continued support :)
@@nikiyikes5674 I was just watching some videos and came across this one again, and was wondering how you have been doing and if you are feeling better? Migraines can cause such detrimental problems for your physical and mental well-being, and I was hoping Botox or maybe something else you may have tried could provide some relief.
I have, and I've also tried magnesium which is thought to help migraines. Especially one's triggered by estrogen. It hasn't helped me, personally. Thanks for the comment!
I'm really sorry to hear about your migraines. I can't relate and I'm glad I can't but I can only imagine the disruption to life due to this and the judgement from others. You seem like a really lovely girl and I wish you the best.

The ketogenic diet helped a lot with my migraines. Hopefully it can help you too. (INTJ male by the way.)
I don't do well with diets...but I had an easy time cutting out added sugars. I think it's really tied into hormones for me. Not much I can do there.
@@nikiyikes5674 what do you mean not doing well with diets?
Stay strong you have a beautiful energy, I have found some solace in your story ♥️
I had no idea migraines were that bad. Hope you get a handle on it soon!
Hope you can get those migraines and nightmares under control, my friend!
