Why You Should Get The Daith Piercing If You Struggle With Migraines

For years I have struggled with chronic migraines. I went to the eye doctor, I went to my regular doctor, I had tons of tests run on me and they simply said that nothing was wrong with me. But I did not believe them, because I had migraines that would last for two or three days at a time. I would feel sick and not want to eat, I would get angry, I would just want to lay in bed and do nothing and hope it would go away. To most of the time being woken up the next day with the migraine still there. It was awful.

For a long time I thought it was my fault. I would go an entire day and realize I had not eaten at all, and think oh this is where this migraine is from. I would struggle with anxiety and just think that was a part of having anxiety. So, I took it upon myself to change some of these things to see if that helped. I made a meal schedule and stuck to it. I ate three meals a day, with snacks in between if I was feeling hungry. No change. I started studying two weeks before my tests to try and help calm my anxiety and make it easer on myself. No change. I finally realized that it was not anything that I was doing right or wrong, I just struggled from migraines.

I was on Facebook one day scrolling through my news feed when I came across an article. It talked about this piercing that could help cure migraines and anxiety. A win-win situation for me! I jokingly sent it to my Fiancé, and he responded back that I go and get it done. I took me about two weeks to work up the courage to finally go and do it and he gave me no other option but to get it done.

I sucked it up and took the pain of all of 30 seconds (seriously so quick, and so easy), and it has been life changing. I was skeptical at first, but I had read hundreds of reviews before going to get it done about how much help it had been to so many people so I figured why not me.

Going from having migraines that lasted two to three days, to almost a month now migraine free has made a huge difference in my life. I seriously did not expect this, but I am so glad I jokingly said I should get the piercing. I have been in much better moods, have enjoyed doing more things where I used to just curl up in bed and not want to do anything.

If you have migraines and have tired everything, I highly suggest getting this piercing. I seriously hope that if you read my story and you do get it, that it is as big as a success as it was to me!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
