To ask if anyone has had any luck with a tragus(sp?) piercing for migraines?

[WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat]

Just that really. I get terrible migraines. I know what most of my triggers are and can generally avoid them, but since chemo they can be unexpected. I'm pretty pierced and tattooed anyway so it wouldn't make much difference to how I look (and judgemental fuckers don't bother me much anyway), but I've heard of quite a lot of people whose migraines have been relieved by tragus piercing, and even acupuncture in the same spot.

I'm getting desperate, can anyone give me any good anecdotes of their migraines magically disappearing?

I get migraines and have tried a few different meds for mine (amitryptiline worked wonders at reducing them to 3-4 a year) until March this year.. I asked my doctor about the daith piercing; she said there is absolutely no scientific evidence but a lot of anecdotal - she suspects placebo as it doesn't work for everyone.

If you're not averse to medication I am now on topiramate - reluctantly to begin with due to list of horrifying side effects. However in the past 6 weeks I've not had a single migraine and not only that, virtually no normal headaches either. The only real side effect I've noticed is it makes fizzy drinks taste flat - but hey! I can live with that if it makes my migraines stop
