I’m Looking For Opinions On Daith Piercings From People Who Haven’t Been Helped By Medications
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I know there have been mixed opinions about daith piercings but I figure if it helps even a little, it would be worth it. Considering nothing else, not even Botox, has helped, I’d be ok with it if the piercing doesn't help. But I’ve read accounts of migraines getting worse or moving after a daith piercings. I’m looking for someone like me, who doesn’t get results from medication who can tell me what kind of results they got after their piercing... good or bad. I want to be informed before I… read more

Is Daily Ibuprofen Really Dangerous?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a migraine headache starting first thing in the morning every day. Some days the headache is more severe and some days not too bad. Also, some days it resolves by noon and some days lasts all day. Overall, you can see it really interferes with my daily activities activities and just general sense of well being. Nobody wants to have a painful headache all day every day. I have found that I can reliably reduce the pain significantly by taking 2-200 mg Ibuprofen at 4:00 am and 2 high potency… read more

Daith Piercing
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone have any info on a Daith piercing? I am considering it, but need more information.

A MyMigraineTeam Member

I had it done and sad to say it didn't work. Migraines still keep coming. It works for some but not others. No magic bullet for getting rid of Migraines. It's hit or miss with medication etc.

At What Number On A Scale From 1-10 Do You Rate Your “Average” Migraine Pain?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have read comments about migraine scales being different for everyone. I agree with that. Which left me wondering, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest, pain level and incapacitation. What do you consider a “average” or tolerable number on the scale? For me, at 1-3 I feel like I could throw a party, in my head😉. 3-4 is normal tolerable, allowing me to still function. 5-6 I feel anxious, cautious and usually take medication. 7-8 I’m seeking dark, quiet and bring nausea medication on… read more

My functioning average is a 4. It’s there, I’m totally aware of it. I take Tylenol or Motrin as a wishful “ stay where you are” prevention. If it gets worse or one of my senses gets involved ie… read more
