Did you have any side effects from the medication, or was it pretty smooth sailing?
caitlinface · 7 months ago
I'm on Emgality, and haven't noticed any side effects at all.

Honestly the worst part of it has been getting special approval from insurance; sometimes they don't cover much of it but right now the manufacturer provides a savings card that brings it down to $35/month.

I've suffered from migraines all my life. It worsened as I've gotten older. One day long attacks turned into three day long attacks. Then turned into five day long attacks. I've taken various preventatives and abortives over the years to varying success. It runs in my family so I never thought to see a neurologist for them. A couple years ago I had a bad string of them and my medicine wasn't really touching it, so I finally decided to see a headache specialist. The doctor very quickly got me started one of these anti-CGRP medications.

Almost immediately, I dropped to 0-1 attacks a month, and when they do happen they are both less painful and my other medicine knocks them out fast.

Literally life changing.

Sounds like the fake emails were from "subscription bombs". Bad actors will bulk sign up targets to flood their inboxes and hide worrying notifications like security alerts.

I use to work on a newsletter service and we had to combat this constantly.

My dad is a high school math teacher. When I was growing up, there was a few years that he had a computer lab in his classroom. He named all of the computers after mathematicians: Archimedes, Bernoulli, Gauss, Euler.

That made an impression on me, so I followed a similar pattern when I started having my own devices to name: Erdos, Newton, Pascal.

Since then, I've settled into my own naming scheme, themed to women pioneers of technology:

My phone is named Lovelace after Ada Lovelace. One of my servers is named Hopper after Grace Hopper. My laptop is named Kare after Susan Kare.

My wife's naming scheme for her devices are space themed: Nebula, Luna, Io, Ganymede.

When we have shared devices, we sort of merge the schemes into space themed scientists. For example, our Apple TV is named "Copernicus", which I found a fitting name since the world revolves around it when it's on.

Very cool. I've been trying to learn Spanish off and on for years, and this was super easy to try. Love the fact that you can use it without even signing up.

I wonder if you could look into partnering with some existing language tools? I might also look into telling schools about it directly, to help speed up the word of mouth.
