Migraine relief help?
in Health ·
Hey everyone, I've been dealing with migraines for about 3 years now. It all started right after I had my baby. At first, it wasn't too bad, but over time, they just got more intense and unbearable. I went through all the tests, even did an MRI, and everything came back totally fine. The light would kill me, I'd be throwing up constantly, and it felt like every third day I'd just wake up with a pounding head. In the beginning, meds actually helped, but eventually, nothing worked. Some of them would last for two full days. One doctor suggested I try acupuncture and some Chinese herbal tea blends she prescribed. I stuck with it for 7 months, going twice a month for sessions, and things slowly started looking up. Now, they happen super rarely, and when they do hit, I can still function normally—the light doesn't bother me anymore and I don't get sick. Even a basic painkiller helps sometimes, though occasionally I have to take Maxalt lingual, which is honestly one of the best things out there. Most importantly, drink tons of water. My advice to anyone struggling with migraines? Give acupuncture a shot.
