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!

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
