Acupuncture worked for me


Quote  |  Reply

I was diagnosed with TMA migraines about 15 months ago.  Symptoms were stroke like and was hospitalized two days for testing.  Doctor prescribed Depakote for the migraines.  After 11 months I was still having daily problems but not as severe.

Finally talked to a friend who had migraines in Med School.  Migraines almost forced her out of Med School.  She did acupuncture and it worked.

Based on her story I gave it a try and have not had a headache for 4 months.  I am also not using the medication anymore.

Hope this helps somebody out there, I was very frustrated for over a year.

That's very cool.  I tried acupuncture for my migraines and it didn't help at all.  Stopping gluten was the thing that did it for me.  It seems there is no one-size-fits-all solution for migraines, which is what makes them so damned difficult to treat.  Keep us posted on your progress.  I'd like to know if acupuncture is a permanent fix or if you have to redo it periodically.
