bonny, acupuncture helped my migraines enormously. I was getting them once every 2-3 weeks, and they'd last for 3-5 days. Now I get one every 5 or 6 months, and I can usually stop it when I feel one coming on.
Anecdata, YMMV, of course. I know some people say it's a scam and just a giant plaebo effect, but -- nothing else worked. Even if it was the placebo effect, I'll take it if it means no migraines.
I will definitely call my friend tomorrow.
Up until now, I've muddled through them with more bemusement than anything else, but this one was dangerous. I'd like to have something in my toolkit to stop it, if I can. I just wish I knew it was on me before it gets too far gone.
Blergh. I've been so fortunate to be free of chronic stuff...up until now.
My feeling is that anything non-fatal that works for some is worth trying.

Oh, hey, my sister just texted me. It's my birthday. Saturday, that is. I actually forgot about it!
I better think of something fun to do. This is my last year of being in my 40s!
My BFF gave me The Art of The Avengers book. It's quite cool.
Happy Birthday, Zenkitty!
it sn't a birthday wish- but it is fun

I don't think that anyone has reported that amputation works, for the record. So don't rush to that option.
I have all the migraines in the world, but clearly no idea how to stop them, or I wouldn't have all the migraines in the world. No one ever goes to the ER when I suggest it, so I dunno. I don't have abortives.

What are we amputating? Because I don't think people survive decapitation but I'd trying sacrificing a toe or something. Maybe. I would tonight.
