This Is My Story Of Suffering
From Horrifically
Painful Migraines For Over A Decade...
...And How I Finally Stumbled Across
A Permanent Migraine Cure
Dear Women's Health Institute of Texas,
I am so thrilled with my new life. I am finally free of migraine
headaches.
My name is Olga Nicholas and I suffered from excruciating migraine
headaches for well over a decade.
In fact, I can still remember my very first migraine headache.
The pain was like nothing I'd ever felt before. It felt like my
skull was giving birth to a bowling ball. Like someone buried an
ice-pick in my temple.
Even though I was supposed to be enjoying Christmas vacation with
my family, I ended up rushing to the emergency room. I described
my excruciating pain to the doctors. And then I waited.
I sat for hours, clutching my knees to my chest. I fully expected
the doctors to tell me I had some sort of tumor or a hidden skull
fracture.
Instead, they told me I had a "Migraine Headache",
gave me two aspirin and sent me home.
For the next 10 years, I battled constant migraine pain.
But there is a happy ending to this story.
It's difficult to describe what a migraine feels like to anyone
who's never had one. Calling a migraine "a headache" is
like calling a man-eating tiger a "tabby cat". If you
suffer from migraines, you'll feel like I'm telling your story.
Migraines are different for everyone. Some get them every few days,
others just a few times a year. Me, I suffered from migraine attacks
a couple times a month. My migraines kept me in bed all day. I
dreaded my time of the month when the headaches would start.
When I first felt a migraine coming on, my initial reaction was
a sickening sense of dread.
I knew I was about to lose 3-4 days of my life. People would say "Oh,
you have a headache?" and I'd want to strangle them.
I'd get a sharp pain in my right temple. Unlike a common headache… my
migraines felt like somebody was repeatedly slamming a hammer into
my skull.
Sometimes the pain would disappear in a day. Sometimes the pain
endured for two weeks. I'd lock myself in a dark room and close
myself off from the outside world.
My doctors doled out drugs like Imitrex and Zomig. At first, they
worked pretty well and actually tamed my headaches. But over time
I guess I developed an immunity to them because they just stopped
working.
When the first one stopped working, my doctors prescribed a second
one. Eventually that stopped working, too. I was in a panic. By
then, I discovered that my previous doctors just wanted to write
more prescriptions and didn't seem to be interested in actually
diagnosing, discovering and curing the root problem that was causing
my migraines.
Before I heard about Dr. Jones, I was absolutely miserable. Like
any migraine sufferer, I would have done ANYTHING to make them
stop. I never heard of anyone saying that they could make them
go away.
BUT, after I started doing what Dr. Jones recommended, in just
a couple of months, my migraines just stopped and went
away. I haven't had a single headache, not one, since
then. He completely eliminated my migraines!
This is no small feat. Even after I started his program, I still
kept my emergency prescription pill in my purse at all times… just
in case I felt a migraine attack coming on.
But it never came.
It's been over a year now and I can happily report that migraines
are a thing of the past. I've thrown out the pills
I used to depend on. I plan dinner parties on a whim, never worrying
about whether I'll have to cancel because of a migraine.
And I no longer lock myself in dark rooms for days at a time. I'm
free to enjoy every day as I choose.
It is an unbelievable feeling to be free of my headaches. Thank
you, Dr. Jones, for giving me my life back."
