I got prescribed to Synflex, 750mg. It’s the stronger one and in a pretty shade of blue. I took it whenever needed which would be based on the frequency of my attacks. Consuming Synflex was the beginning of my gastric problems. It was too strong for someone who had a superbly active metabolism.

I’ve been visiting the doctors pretty often of late. They’ve changed my prescription to something less corrosive to something milder. But two different pills instead of one. Finally during my most recent visit, I told the doctor that I don’t want to be hooked on this drugs. I want a natural, long term cure. He suggested acupuncture. Which is what I will be sharing with you today.

My migraine attacks have been very often lately due to KL’s heat as well as my work’s demands. Clients order for items at the very last minute. Not respecting our stated time frame that requires me to work in the heat and around the clock.

So my first session was yesterday, note the first. Cause I know I’ve to go back there pretty religiously to reduce my attacks. I went to this place in Taman Megah, PJ. It was recommended by my aunt and obviously I did my research. How? Google la, what some more

My session was about an hour. Started of with him checking my pulse, my foot and my tongue. Then he took out his set of needles and sterilizer. He placed them at my wrist, feet, thigh, scalp, temple and forehead. Yes it isn’t painful but the one on my wrist really hurts. My hand was numb, I could not feel my fingers and they were cold. He later than explained that happened cause my wrist is injured and has a lot of wind there. Sigh. He got that right.

After about 30 minutes of trying to stay still, he came over to extract them off me. Next procedure was the massage. Good God, I thought my head was going to explode when he massaged all my problematic areas on my head. I bet he saw how my face twitched. Haha. After he was done with my head, he massaged the body. Which was like a cracking party, but it was a great feeling to get my bones back in line.

Cupping was next. It’s my third time doing this. It was a lot more bearable this time around as it was a shorter period. About 10 minutes I think. But yes it left my back looking like a ladybug. It hurts cause it’s bruised but I need and must get better. Downed an icky herbal drink made out of some plant’s roots and I was set home.

I’ve another follow up this week. Will keep you posted on my journey of curbing my ridiculous migraine.
