NERVE DECOMPRESSION SURGERY FOR NDPH

Hi, I wanted to join this blog just to let people know my story and to give hope. I have had headaches off an on my whole life. Then migraines the last 7 years with chronic daily headaches and migraines. I tried topamax three times in the 7 years but after 4 months couldn't take the tired drug feeling. Then Elavil or Amitriptyline. And Botox shots, sinus surgery , migraine diets and many other ways to get rid of them. My Daughter who is 27 years old also had them. She was watching Dr. Oz who had a guess speaker on there named Dr. Fuhrman He said all his patients recover from migraines in three months by following his nutritional advice. I knew this was not going to work. But my daughter bought his book (Eat To Live) followed it and recovered. So I tried it and now I am 9 months migraine free. no meds!!!! What also compelled me to try his way was he wasn't selling any magic herb or snake oil or promoting any one thing. He simply tells you how to get rid of them buy going to the grocery store yourself and buying the right food and getting rid of toxins.I used to get very insulted when people told me I had the power to cure myself with food or just drink more water suggestions. So I know oversimplifying migraines can be angering. I thought there is no way Im changing my diet just to try one more thing that has little chance curing me, since migraines stole my life all I have left to enjoy is food and I don't want to deprive myself further. Dr. Fuhrmans program is more than diet as you will see in his book. But My daughter who lived with me keeps cooking this yummy food and she felt great. So with a panic attic in the grocery store trying to buy new foods and mourning the oreo's. I kept my promise to her and weened off the Elavil. and started Dr. Fuhrmans program And now I write you completely cured and not selling anything but hope. If you are interested, Read his book for the info.( I found his book at our library) He has a web sight at Dr.Fuhrman.com. PS we also lost weight on his plan. Good luck don't give up and settle for medications like I did!! Write me anytime.

Nerve Decompression Surgery for chronic daily headaches & chronic migraines: I have suffered from migraines since 1994. They have incr over time & I was close to dying after a Basilar Artery Migraine caused me to have a cardiac arrest. Needless to say...I have tried everything anti depressants, anti seizure, pain meds, muscle relaxants, centrally acting muscle relaxants, Botox, nerve ablation, in hospital treatments 4-6 months out of the year, & nerve blocks. I was at the lowest point in my life & was desperate. Mon 4/14/14, I had nerve decompression surgery to my occipital & trigeminal nerves. The surgery was 4hrs and recovery has been good & bad days. Today so post-op day 7. I have a small incision above my left ear & a 2 inch incision with staples at the base of my skull. Other than incision pain and tightness, I haven't had any migraine pain!!! For others desperate to have a life again, to be a mom again, and to be a living person. Please make an appointment with Dr Mark Khorsandi, www.migrainereliefcenter.com. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. you don't realize how much you've lost until it all starts to come back!
