I did mine on the right...my sister did hers on the left (whichever side your migraine starts on). Have had the piercing for a year and a half and not a migraine since

I have them in both ears. But they do not kill my migraines, only help with the pain level. (Please keep in mind that I had a stroke, and my brain did not fully recover from it)
Meds I am able to take only work for a short time, currently the only help I have is my piercings & essential oils.

I've had migraines since I was 12. My first one was very scary, I got my 2nd one when I was 16, and they were pretty constant after I turned 18. I had them 20 days out of 30 each month. I tried numerous medications that had no impact on them and made me sick to my stomach. Then I had a hysterectomy almost 5 years ago, and my migraines turned worse. I only had them about every 3-4 months, but they put me in the hospital every time. They had to give me a cocktail of Benadryl, Toradol, and Promethazine. It works, but I was still down for about 2 days. After about 3 years of this, a friend was telling me that she was getting her daith pierced for her migraines. I asked her if it worked after she had it, and she said it did. Amazingly. So I did the research into it as well. Took me a year before I decided to take the plunge. It started out with a headache (not a migraine) that was in about 7 days. I called my daughter up (who also gets severe migraines) and told her we were getting our ears pierced. She got one daith pierced, but I chose to have both my rooks pierced. Reasoning was, when I applied pressure there versus on the daith, it relieved the headache better. I got this done on February 4, 2017. I haven't had a migraine since. Headaches, yes, but not severe and manageable with Excedrin, and have had a couple of times where I had the aura at the beginning of a migraine with no resulting headache. It was amazing. I strongly believe in the piercings and urge you to try it, but don't do both at the same time. It was awful because I'm a side sleeper!

I was on propanolol, fioricet, ibuprofen, naproxen, anything over the counter I could get my hands on. The fioricet worked for a while but never really got rid of it.....just took the edge off enough that I could function. I had relief within 10 minutes of getting my piercing. If I feel one coming on....I mess with my piercing and it quits

How did you chose to do the piercing? Acupuncturist would seem like the right person to mark the spot.
