25 years of migraines - over!
by: MS on Fri, Jul 24 2009

My daughter suffered with migraines for over 25 years. She read everything on the subject, took every medicine prescribed by doctors, every holistic/alternative treatment. She spent at least three days each month in bed while raising her family and keeping on with her work as a child therapist. In desperation, she saw a psychiatrist who said, “Let’s try Lithium.” She was given a small dose - 300 mg That was four months ago and she has not had a migraine since. I want to pass this on as I know how terribly debilitating migraines are. If something like Lithium, a salt from the earth, can help others, I hope others will learn about it - doctors and patients.
