hello... i used to be a migraine sufferer
and i have tried distant healing
not 1 but 6 times in the past
with reputed distant psychic and so called
intuitive healers they each gave me different reasons for my headaches and blamed them on past lives and claimed
that they wouldent go away until i resoved my past issues i was like well whatever can you rid me of them ?
the response was i can send you some healing but it ill cost you$$ i dident insist on a cure but i was like tss man should i do this?
i did and guess what.....
its expensive and USELESS CRAP!
i would have gotten better from valium, SERIOUSLY!
i also earlier tried yoga meditations
this was so gay,and made me feel sicker
and like i was dying in addition to the migraines so needless to say
i really threw out my books fast...
personaly i highly dont recommend it!
people who claim good stuff on these practices have serious mental
issues....i was a quack to even think it could help.
but to make a long story short
luckily...in the end
i finaly got a smart doctor got a good
evaluation and my headaches
completely ceased after 3 shots of a really strong medication that made me weak and dizzy
and nauseous but i never had any since.
so amen to that.
((if you have migraines i can find the name of the med shots.))

but i wish i could get my money back :((
i lost over 300 bucks and had my mind
screwed with and wasted good time

buyer beware!

Expensive lesson, but you got out early compared to some people. I know people who have spent thousands on this crap.

Small comfort I know.

Just wondering---why did you try magic before conventional medicine?
Why did it take seven (the yoga was only once?) times for you to change your mind? What was the appeal that magic held?

Anyone that goes to a doctor for migraines is told about this right away. Think of how few headaches you would have had if real medicine was #1 on your list.

Actually, @tomic, migrane is very difficult to treat.

I understand how somone could end up being screwed over by quacks.

Best of luck, and thanks for sharing lil_devil.
