Migraines and Me I was eleven when I got my first migraine. This is my story about migraines and me. I’ve taken a risk I’ve been tempted with for a while. Has anyone ever heard of the DAITH piercing? Well I’ve just had one done! It’s a piercing through the innermost cartilage fold of the ear. It’s in an awkward place, fiddly to get to, but the good thing is I can still sleep on that side, it isn’t painful, as I don’t put the full weight of my head onto it. It’s actually a lot less painful than I thought it would be! The reason behind me talking about this is that there is a theory that has been said for years that the daith piercing is linked to a pressure point that prevents migraines. I have read several stories online saying that people have had the piercing done and lived years of being migraine free. Now this, for me, would be some kind of miracle cure so I have decided to try it out! Even if it meant only having one migraine a year it would make me extremely happy about the whole situation. I will keep you updated with my progress as it’s only been a few days now but so far so good! I did ask the lady who did it if she had heard any good stories as she knew exactly why I was getting it done. She told me some people find it works, some people don’t and some people have found a decrease, but not a complete cure. Let’s hope this will be my cure to end my story of migraines and maybe help some of you too! Migraines and Me I have created a Facebook page called ‘Migraines and Me’.
