I really need some advice.  I get horrible migraines.  I’ve had them since I was three years old.  My mom can actually remember the first one that I got.  As I’ve gotten older, they seem to have gotten worse and I get them more often.

When I was pregnant I got them so much that I actually had to quit working much earlier than I had planned.  I knew that I wanted to stay home with my baby once she was born so I was going to work right up until my due date.  Because of my migraines, I ended up quitting at the end of my first trimester!  I was getting migraines three or four days a week.  They were so bad that I was physically sick and the only thing that I could do was lie in bed.  I had medication that helped but I couldn’t take it due to the pregnancy.

Since I’ve had my baby, the headaches have eased up a bit but they are still pretty bad.  I also still cannot take my medication because I’m nursing my baby.  I’ve been considering natural pain relief techniques.  I tried breathing techniques but they weren’t successful for me.  I actually have an appointment to try acupuncture even though I hate needles.  A friend also recommended magnetic therapy so I want to check that out too.  If one of these techniques alone won’t help, maybe using more than one will.
