Best sitefor quality clothing patterns?

After a decades long hiatus from sewing, I've really been into it again. And I'm watching the evolution from paper patterns to PDF files for instant download. I am pretty proud of this quilted jacket I made from a pattern I purchased on Etsy (I even created my own quilted "fabric" from a quilting cotton layer cake.).

I bought my pattern from this Etsy shop. I was going to link to the actual pattern but unfortunately it's been removed from the shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/IndiePattern

Although this pattern was great, I'm also finding that a lot of patterns are poorly created AI patterns. I just made a lovely shirt only to discover the short sleeves were crafted in a way that makes raising my arms impossible. I wouldn't have known until I'd already finished the shirt. Ugh. I'm curious about where you find high quality patterns that you trust have been created purposefully with actual bodies in mind. I'm willing to spend more if it means the pattern is actually workable. Thank you!

What's your approach to breaking a rebound cycle?

I saw my PCP yesterday. She manages my migraines right now and is really knowledgeable. I told her I'm concerned I'm in an overuse situation. My migraines have been relentless! And I know I should take triptans 9-10 times a month but when I'm in pain for 20 days, then what? So here we are. She's prescribed 40 mg of Prednisone a day for 3-5 days as a bridge therapy. (We have a plan for after this.) Meanwhile I'm supposed to avoid triptans and nsaids (of course) to see if I can stop this. Meanwhile it's day 1 and my head is killing me! Have you ever been successful at surviving a period like this with no meds? Did you figure out anything that helped you that was not on the no-fly list of meds?
