I was twenty six months of migraines. Never got a diagnosis. I just got better over a week all of a sudden. Four triptans (nausea on one), gabapentin (did nothing), indomethacin (confusion, nausea), maxeran (induced panic attacks), candesartan (nothing), Botox (fainting, sort of helpful but diminishing returns and $$$$), propranolol (nausea), topiramate (nothing), CBD/THC (hallucinations, no pain relief), and one other that I forget the name of. Orange tinted glasses kind of helped.

    What loopy's saying. I find it easier to be like "Disk A: Linux, Disk B: Windows" and use separate EFI partitions, so I generally do that on computers where I can stuff two separate disks, but I have machines with only one hard drive, and then I just go "First half of disk: Windows, second half: Linux." I agree that install Windows then Linux is the way to go. True story: quadruple booted an old MacBook Pro: supported Mac OS, OCLP Mac OS, Windows 11, Ubuntu. Did it for a friend, spent forever getting it all to work, then he set it down in a coffee shop and walked away. Never saw it again.

    Random idea if possible: get a sleep study? If you've got apnea, sleep will never rejuvenate you. If you live in the bad place and have to pay big $$ for a sleep study, set up your phone to do a low light recording of your sleep. Play it back, and if you hear yourself pausing breathing... Bingo.

    This is how I explained Matrix to my mom: its like an email address, but for chat. You can chat at me, even if we aren't using the same server, like someone can send an email from Gmail to Hotmail. She got set up and promptly went back to texting me every dang time.

    I'm following this. I also can't. It's not the pain, as soon as I see the needle, stars, woozy, out cold. Hell, even if someone else is doing it and I know it's happening...
