Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hello all, my name is Ashley, I am 21 years old and I just went yesterday for my first acupuncture session for migraines. I get alot of migraines, and basically everyday I have this constant pressure on the bridge of my nose, in between my nose, on my temples and over my eyes. It varies on the level of pain, but I always feel the congestion. I have been to an ENT my sinuses are not clogged or anything, but I do take a claritin D in the morning to undo the congestion. I have been on preventative meds for he migraines, which have been working okay. So my question is, so being that I had my first acupuncture session yesterday ( which was japanese style acupuncture) they said it will be 24 -48 hours to feel full effects, but how exactly does the acupuncture work to help the headaches and when should I feel better ? I have not felt better in regards to my headache, but yesterday and today my body has felt very relaxed and I can feel the qi energy flowing throughout my body, which from what i Have researached, is a good thing. Also, I have a new sulfite allergy, so I told them about that too and treated that as well, but I dont know how the acupuncture is suposed to help with that, like is it preventative or helps with allergy reactions ? If anyone can help fill me in on some info that would be great. I plan on going weekly or every two weeks for treatment. Thanks.
