Title: Has anyone tried Accupressure beads?
Post by Tiege on Jul 18^th, 2002, 11:41am

Has anyone tried accupressure beads? A few months ago, I was picking up my prescription for Imitrex when I noticed a display on the pharamacy counter for accupressure beads. I figured I'd have nothing to lose, so I bought a pack of them.

To my pleasant surprise, they've helped. While the Imitrex takes up to an hour, if it works at all, to have some effect; the accupressure beads reduce or eleviate the headache within 20 minutes.

I'd like to hear from others that may have tried them.

Thanks.

Hey Justin? lighten up, would you? It was a legitimate question and if just one sufferer finds relief from it, then great!

Haven't heard of the accupressure beads, no - but hey - if it helps you - go for it! What accupressure points do you try?

sorry i just got out of the hospital after unsucessful DHE. having a rough go of things. i will try to refrain from now on. it is just so obvious that this person just signed up on the bored to sell his product. i looked and saw that they joined the site today and that's the first post they make...? BS if you ask me...

I dunno, Justin. He did say he was picking up a 'script for Imitrex...

If we were at the peak of a cycle and I saw something at the drugstore that I thought might help my sufferer - i'd pick it up too. And if it worked for him, I'd sure tell you guys about it. Heck, I've come to this board with some pretty wild ideas too in my time here. I remember one time Mike aborted an attack by brushing his teeth! I brought THAT little tidbit to the board too! :)

Usually the scammers give us a website to go to, or offer to email us with details. This guy did neither. Benefit of the doubt should always be an option too.

I'm sorry to hear the DHE failed you, Justin. Don't give up hope, though, ok?

Peace.
