OT MIGRAINE RELIEF

Something I am reading about
I have sent my information to Boston Scientific saying I want to be in the
test program
Maybe this could be the relief everyone of us is praying for

Hi

Without wanting to repeat myself, I have been going for acupuncture
for migraines for about 3 months now, and have reduced my attacks
from between 1-10 days every month (hormone related migraines) to
just 1 day a month, and my life has changed so much. My drug intake
has reduced dramatically and I can actually make social arrangements
for that week knowing that the chances are I will be able to go.

That's wonderful! I'm so glad for you.

I can recommend it to anyone to give it a try if you can afford it, or
(if in the UK) you have a forward-thinking GP. Although it's costing
quite a bit financially, at least I'm not spending so much on
prescription and over the counter pain relief any more. My GP wasn't
really any help, and to be honest I can't be bothered with the NHS on
this matter any more, they don't take me seriously (only been having
them for 30 years, hey it's "just a headache"!)

In the US, some health insurance companies do cover acupuncture,
though it's rare. My acupuncturist is actually "in network," meaning
that I get a better rate and they do the paperwork for me!

I don't think many GP's in the NHS prescribe it, which is a shame, so
you can basically only get it in the UK either if you have private
medical insurance, or pay for it yourself. I'm paying for it myself as
I've only just got in the work medical scheme, which I don't really
agree with anyway and hope to never have to use.

Monique, do you have it for migraines, if so, do you find it helps?
I had a few bad heads last month but was going through a very bad
time stress wise, and my acupuncturist promises me treatment doesn't
"stop working" which is what I was worried about.

No, so far I've been lucky enough not to have to deal with migraines.

I'm not sure what you mean by "stop working."
