Piercing

Two months ago, I did this... As a headache /migraine sufferer for most of my life, this was my last resort. I had tried every OTC and prescription medicine out there. Had been to 7 doctors and one neurologist. None of them could really help. I'd read about this piercing, that this pressure point may be a start in the right direction. What could it hurt to try another shot at relief?

I am now migraine free (for at least the last 2 months) and headache free for about 7 weeks. I'm happy I spent the money. I am sharing this now for the other unfortunate loved ones that suffer from debilitating headaches and migraines. You may want to try it too.

I HAVE JUST SEEN THIS. HAS ANYONE HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT ABOUT.?

My dad mentioned this tov me a couple days ago. I've been ssking research on it and it seems ligit. I've been on so many meds (17) for migraines with no relief since I was 10. I am now 28. I will consider trying this and post if it's actually helps. It's worth a shot. It can't do anymore damage then the medications we've all taken right?

Babs, well done you for going ahead with the piercing.

Really interested to hear how you get on with it - please keep us posted.

I'm thinking about having it done.

Good luck - hope it works for you.

This was a cross post . She said it didn't hurt. I am seriously thinking of having it done myself. At the moment they could pierce my brain if I thought it would help with these damn migraines x

I have just had my daith piercing done and unless it was my imagination or wishful thinking, I definately felt a release of pressure in my head. I will certainly keep you updated on my progress if any but here's hoping

I went to a normal piercing studio. As soon as I asked about the daith piercing he said ' for migraines' so he knew about it.. So far so good for me but early days

After reading the post I went straight out and had my piercing done, so desperate will try anything. I have also made the decision to stop pregabalin, the dizzy effects are just to much for me. I'm going to see how I get on without preventative medication, I've not been drug free for years could be interesting????
