Migraine Headaches Support Group
Migraine is a neurological disease, of which the most common symptom is an intense and disabling episodic headache. Migraine headaches are usually characterized by severe pain on one or both sides of the head and are often accompanied by photophobia (hypersensitivity to light), phonophobia (hypersensitivity to sound) and nausea.
Hi, I want to tell of my experience as it saved my life this year in January.
I am still what I would call as in recovery but here it goes
I woke up in April 2015 with what I thought was one of my migraines. But it didn't go away for a week. It then calmed down but new pain appeared in my eye and skull, like a knife was stuck in there. If I did anything too much such as clean or run or anything normal it would flare up in to scale ten and I would be in bed again.
I saw the doc who said its anxiety. Yeah right! So I take some meds and go home. Two weeks later its still there and now in my neck another knife in my neck deep inside throbbing slows all day every day. I cant sleep! I cry all the time. I try tens unit, creams lotions everything!!!
I see the doc, oh you have migraines. What every day nonstop what!! Heres more meds.
They didn't work. Back to doc with my partner who shouts at her and says weve been back ad for 12 times on record and you've done no scans ECT.
She sends me for a scan. Luckily it wasn't a long wait. This was a cat scan and all was okay. I then paid for a private MRI scan as I was so scared and needed answers. That came back ok
I then saw a neuro, had the usual prodding tests and then he referred me to another neuro who then says its MIGRAINES I leave crying out of the hospital. My partner says its only migraines so its ok they will go.
I cry its not a migraine I know my body this is something else and im scared to death of my life now.
After that I saw some physics and massage people all who only gave temporarily relief.
11 month hit and I decided I could not take anymore. I told my partner and family I wanted to quit and as then on constant watch.
I tried church too by the way hoping a miracle would happen and im not religious at all, I was desperate.
so on the night I decided to write my notes to family I went on the net for one more desperate look for an answer and this page pooped up about the neck, it was in Swedish so I looked for a uk version and found a ladys website and watched all the videos of people saying their pain had gone. Head pain arm pain all near type pain.
I emailed her straight away but was too impatient and rang her the next day lol
She was lovely.
she explains when I went to see her miles away, that this c1 bone in the neck is out of place in most people, I didn't think too much of it I was just thinking god help me I don't want to die. She got the tool out and it hurts a little as it pushed in my neck. It took about twenty mins.
When she finished I stood up and omg I could breathe deep. Im asthmatic and always thought I breathed normal but when I took in my breathe it was solo deep. Then we left and when I went outside the world was more 3d, sounds nut I know, and no I don't do drugs lol.
so the next few days were hell I wont lie, I ached like 10 men had beaten me and I was so emotional, but then day by day my head pain slowed down, I then had one huge migraine and then it went. I was scared to do anything in case it came back. Its been over 6 months and Ive had 3 normal migraines, the types I can deal with, Ive not had headaches or any pain that I had for that year. My body aches now as I had a bent spine which is now straight so my muscles are angry with me, but hey I will take that overhead pain anyway. It gets better every week and I now have my life back.
the procedure is called atlas profilax and I have sent three friends, one of which was in a wheel chair full time but now can get out of it and walk but bit bit more each day, my other friend had migraines for 30 years so I sent her asap and shes even healthier than me now she had nothing to deal with after it lucky gal.
So if youre desperate like I was and have nothing to lose but the pain please look into it. Its not all of of money and it works for so many issues.
Im lucky to be here I say and I hope other suffering get fixed too. I cant say it fixes everything and all head pain but it has helped 1000s of people and one day will be well known about
There is a lot more I went through but I dont want to lose you : )
Im sorry my spelling is bad btw.
all the best xxxx
