My neurologist has been unable to find a preventative cure for me, and very little has helped to get rid of the pain once the migraine arrives. My doctor and I had a debate yesterday, and a bit of a falling out, because he doesn't think acupuncture will work. I told him I am interested in at least hearing what the Chinese doctor has to say. The ability of your TCM practitioner to describe things in western terms may or may not be present. Fortunately, that will have no effect on the efficacy of the treatment.
Acupuncture loves migraines.
Be Well, Al. I sent you this email because I was skeptical about the success of acupuncture in treating migraine. I wanted to write to you and tell you that I have been getting acupuncture and taking herbs for the past two months, and it has worked like magic. I'm happy all the time, and my nervous system feels calmer. I have gone from being scared and skeptical to now thinking that people who don't get it don't know what they're missing out on.
