I highly recommend trying acupuncture - if you can get a recommendation to someone good. I have been seeing a really skilled acupuncturist for 6 months. It has made a difference in my headache experience.

I decided to go for acupuncture, because I was getting week-long migraines, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I also was not able to tolerate the preventative type meds that the doctors tried. They all made me sicker than before.

I still get headaches, but no more week-long episodes. Most of the time the headaches are more bearable. However, if I have a lot of stress or if I overdo things, I can still get a migraine. But I can control it better, and I take less medicine.

I do highly recommend acupuncture. It is the only thing that truly helped me. I have gone into my acupuncturist and told him that I felt a migraine coming on, and he has totally gotten rid of it.

Best of luck to you.
