I've been struggling with migraines since childhood. I also use sumatriptan as an abortive. And as a preventative I've tried many medications; amitriptyline, nortriptyline, candesartan, metoprolol, flunarizine... I've been messing with these meds for years and they didn't do anything for my migraines, but I had terrible side effects from each and every one of them. With episodic migraines it's hard to get approved for the more effective, more expensive medication.

A week ago I was cleared to use Ajovy and today I finally had my first shot. I really hope this gives me migraine relief. I'm sick of the weekly migraines.

I recently applied for a job as cytology technician at our hospital's pathology lab. The job sounds super interesting to me, so I'm hyped. My background: I have a master's degree in biomedical sciences. I started as an MLT in a specialized hematology lab where I found my hidden talent: (blood) cell morphology. I developed a passion for this subject and was an insanely quick learner. I love looking at cells and brainstorming about a diagnosis; I have a lot of clinical knowledge, because I'm very interested in (the background of) diseases. I know a lot about different diseases. After a couple of years in this side of diagnostics I decided to join our cell therapy lab where we create CAR-T-cells and process stem cells. Super interesting stuff, but I miss peeking at cells through a microscope. That's where my heart lies. So I'm enthusiastic about the vacancy for cytology technician, but I'm also super nervous - can anyone tell me if my background helps me to be invited for an interview? Thanks in advance!
