Ancient Wisdom and Pagan Spirituality

I have done some acupuncture with some benefits and I still use some acupressure almost daily with varying results.

Unfortunately my migraines are some of the worst several of my past neurologist have seen. We've traced it back several generations and have found that it gets worse each generation (which is why I won't have kids - I could never forgive myself if I passed this on). My dad had to medically retire after practicing trial law into his late 40's. I didn't make it past grad school. We've used and tried a ton of different things over the years with varying degrees of success (Some stuff was really weird and obvious gimmicky, but we still hope).

The peppermint oil doesn't work for me. One of my side effects of the headaches is 'super' senses. The peppermint oil along with other oils end up overwhelming me and end up making it worse, even when diluted a great deal. I used to make some of my own scented candles which worked because I could make sure not to make the scent too strong. I have a big problem with crowds as I end up not being able to filter out all the different conversations people are having along with the various kinds and amounts of perfumes/deodorants/etc.

As I type this I have an ice pack like head band cinched around my temples.

I still thank you for the concern and if you ever see anything 'new' even if wacky please pass it on. (no self-trepanning instructions please, I would be tempted to try on some days)
