Has anyone tried fennel seeds? I bought some candy coated fennel seeds and was eating a small handful everyday for a couple of weeks and although we had a couple of weather changes I did not get a migraine, I ran out of those delish little morsels and got a brutal head banger. On my third day in bed I got my husband to pick some up and the migraine is mostly gone. Coincidence or cure?
I got them from a local East Indian Restaurant they have a dish of the candy coated ones at the cashier and they sell them by the jar. You can buy plain fennel seeds at the health food store.
I was on it for a while, but it wasn't that effective for me. I weaned off it a couple of years ago. No strange side effects.
What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office. This had never been mentioned before by my neurologist and he prescribes me 30 rizatriptans per month and 7 frovatriptans per month, which covers my 20 migraines (if they decide to work). However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more
Glad to hear that worked for you. Valproic acid has many possible severe side effects including affecting liver causing death and pancreatitis. Each person has to weight the benefits vs the risks… read more
Hello.
I am thinking about getting a daith piercing for chronic migraines. I have used just about everything all over the years. I currently take propranolol, but it seems to becoming less effective and I frequently get breakthrough migraines lasting for days.
I see a lot of people say that this pierce is very painful, just wondered if it is more painful than a helix pierce or a navel pierce, which I have had previously?
Thanks in advance. Cate

I'm on vyepti and they started me off on 300. This will be my 4 infusion. I see some improvement not like I thought though.
I just got an article in my inbox that spoke about using weighted blankets. I knew nothing about them.
Has anyone tried a weighted blanket to help with sleep or pain at night?
Here's a link to the article.

I'm off to research it. But I would love feedback if anyone has any!
Hugs all around
Hi,
I did return it. And no problem!
Have you tried Migrelief? Check it out on Amazon. Be patient because the instructions say it can take 3 months to build up. I’ve been taking it 2 1/2 months and I’ve had 3 days now that haven’t been… read more
So I recently came across this non-invasive arm patch that sends electrodes on a certain treatment basis and was wondering if anyone else was interested or has tried something like this. On their site it has several case studies and one is involving chronic migraine. I'm more interested in this mainly because it doesn't require an implant or medicines.

I heard of that a couple weeks ago. I go to the neurologist tomorrow and will definitely ask. Can’t hurt since nothing else works. 😐
Dealing with regular migraine and vestibular migraine symptoms for over 6 years now. Something has got to give!
I have a subluxation of atlas! NUCCA chiropracter helps me a lot! Vestibular migraines can have a lot of triggers! Only a Neurologist can diagnose you!Plus reading a lot and enroll in migraines… read more
