May Is Mental Health Awareness Month. Any Advice For Someone Newly Diagnosed With Migraine?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
A MyMigraineTeam Member

Do you have access to one? I'm guessing if you did, you would say so. I believe, as said above, that you need to be treated separately by neurology and, potentially, psychiatry. In my case, there is a… read more

Fennel Seeds
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

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?

A MyMigraineTeam Member

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.

A MyMigraineTeam Member

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.

Daith Pierce
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

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
