I have had the daith piercings in the past. I had both done the same day. It was a miracle work for me. I had a migraine when I went in to get them done. It took the pain away right away. Any time I got a migraine, I just either gave a gentle pull or twisted the piercings gently. It worked the whole time I had them, but my sugar kept causing infection in them.
I got mine in my left ear. I had a migraine when I got it and as soon as the needle went in I could feel the pressure ease off. By the time I left the shop it was completely gone.
I got mine in the right ear. Had a migraine when I arrived at the shop to get it done. Within 10 minutes of getting the piercing my migraine was GONE. Not eased, not lessened, GONE. I went from over 4 migraines a week to 1 every 6 weeks or so. Best decision I ever made, it's been 2 years and it's still effective. $25 very well spent.
Pros. Less frequent/intense migraines and headaches. When you do get headaches just gently twist, spin or press on the jewelry and it goes away quickly.
Cons. It takes 4- 6 months to heal completely and is difficult to change out yourself.
I have a faith piercing. It helps quite a bit. I had to remove it for a MRI 2 weeks ago and have not been able to get it back in.
If you have had the daith piercing done what is the recovery time like? How quickly did you notice a difference in your migraines?
