Yep, been perscribed sumatriptan for years now, it makes me feel 'weird' when I take it though. PWM also gets me though I coukld tell yesterday I had to use my work mobile (OLED PWM 240z) to find a text message and it took a little while and I could tell it set me off.
Anyway so the thinkpad is no good so after all 'this' blows over I'll sell it and maybe the macbook as well.
Rather than spamming with a new topic I'll just update this one.
I got a 'good' deal on a desktop, my reasoning being my 'good' laptop has a gtx1060 so I got a 1050ti as I figured its the same 'range' and i can match the nvidia color settings which im trying and yesterday it wasnt so bad, today I have a headache but that could be becuase I didnt sleep well and the headache gradually got worse from then on. It does have horrible red LED fans in though so I moved them to places they dont shine out of the case....now years ago I had all sorts of fancy LED lights going on in my old PC....but I was younger.
Maybe it is 1909 getting me, but my work laptop is fine.
Anyway this desktop was a bit of a trick becuase Its also got 1709 on it which was sort of part of the reason I got it and the fact it can support skylake cpus (again good for me on laptop, but not thinkpad) but I put an SSD in with 1909 to try it out for now.
My other plan is to start running again now that lockdowns are being relaxed somewhat as I think more exercise will help.
My backup plan is to win millions on the lottery and never have to work again, that way I wont need to use a computer / can pay all the money for all the expensive things that will be better and not cause these problems, pigs will then fly and dogs and cats will be best friends......
On that note imagine if there was a 'celebrity' or someone like Elon Musk / Bill Gates who had this issue / super migraines and they used their money to fund research and they finally nail what the cause is and come up with a cure.....I wonder how much it could cost, I think the most I've ever heard of someone winning in the lottery is about 50 million, excluding some places in the US where I think they get taxed on it.
