I hope you feel much better today.

So sorry you are so low. I am presuming all the usual medications don't work for you! Have you been offered Botox? X

[dazed_confused in reply to Nanniegill]

Botox? As in facial Botox?

[Nanniegill in reply to dazed_confused]

Yes. I will be having my 2nd round of Botox next week and can't wait!

The effect has now worn off after 4 months. There should have been about 3 months between but my neurologist has been on annual leave. I had about 80% success with the injections and it has meant I could drastically reduce the amount of triptans I was taking. X

Daith piercing is the only thing that helped me after accupunture,botox,oxygen,and at least 75 kinds of pills. The triptons (there's about 10 of them)like rizotripton will stop a headache but not prevent them.

hi ive to had migraines for years and been in and out of hospital I'm now go to try that piercing which ear do you get done or does it not matter

? thanks

[babs1234]

Same as Larry. The daith piercing has helped me. Certainly worth a try. Good luck

[LarryDahlka]

if your migraine is on one side try just that side first,mine were in the middle so I had both done right away-took 8 days to work, but it was worth the wait.
