since I last added to this thread I have discovered the joys of laser accupuncture.

Basically my doctor puts a few needles in my hands and feet (relaxation points - you almost drift off to sleep after a few minutes), then she spend 30 mins working around my neck, shoulders and upper spine with laser probes (just feels like a warmth)

now I get a migraine about every 6 months ie I still get the flickering eyes warning - but my treatment is now 2 disprin at the onset (+ 1 maxolon is recommended - but I don't get the nausea) and I get no headache at all.................. much better than the 8 nurofen plus I used to have to take.

If the migraines start to get more frequent again I just book in for a "top up" session

wonderful
