This is the Daith piercing

Thanks for showing a photo. It seeems to work for a lot of people.

I find all of this very interesting but even though I am suffering terribly I will not try it.am waiting for apt. With new DR.

It's different for everyone, i wouldn't call it a placebo effectat all. I actually went in to get it done thinking it wouldn't help at all and I'd remove them after a few months, but now I can't imagine not having them. The pressure and weather changes this time of year usually kill me and I haven't had a hospitalizing migraine since I got my piercings (knock on wood, I usually end up there every snow storm). So, I think just like everyone responds to medication differently, people also respond to the piercing differently. I don't think a placebo effect, but I'm sorry your experience was negative.

I actually just had my husband remove my daith yesterday!! It was more of a hassle than it was worth. I still got migraines and ended up at the ER getting IV meds. It was painful and did not like to stay uninflected. I cleaned it and took care of it well but it would always push out green or yellow goo weekly and I’d had it over a year. I think it’s more placebo affect than anything. Anything will work if you believe it hard enough!!! I just think it’s a waste of time!!
