Bit fresh when we faced the breeze but very pleased to be somewhere different. Very efficient in the old Debenhams, came out the time I was due in! Strangely I felt the needle this time and I didn’t feel a thing last time! Good news Sue. Pleased for you. Graham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pains are only on the right side of my head and vary in type as a result of neurosurgery. When I asked my consultant if they would go in time or if I would have to learn to live with them he couldn't say. I have learnt to live with them but some days are better than others. Best wishes and hopefully the pain eventually settles down. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the one above on Azura in 2019 and had booked B749 for 2020 but it never happened 🙂 Wonderful cabin 🙂 Just to add that our church has been open now for 3 weeks but we are watching on Youtube at the moment. Will be nice to meet up this Easter. It is our favourite time of the year and we missed the celebrations so much last year. We should have been on Azura in B749 in the Med for Mr Presto's big 6 - 0 but that had to be cancelled so it may be Chez Stoke on Trent. Shouldn't complain - 12 months on and we are well 🙂 P.S. Happy Birthday everyone - we are all a year old today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited March 21, 2021 by Presto2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were at dinner at the time and as I got up to go and get his tablets our waiter came to see what was wrong. I told him about the migraine and he simply pressed at the base of Frank's thumb and index finger and told him to relax. I was very sceptical and went for his tablets.

I looked again after posting and saw the short video for headache and migraine pressure point and 5 minutes mentioned. I hope it works for you. Knee arthritis pain and not being able to take ibuprofen because of my heart medication is what I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted March 22, 2021 #17492 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Beautiful morning in The Shire. We went for our walk early and are just in, with 7500 steps under our belts. Well earned cuppa and web-browse now Exciting times for those making bookings for the UK waters cruises. Fingers crossed for them all 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you hold the pressure for? Graham. It depends on the severity of the headache/migraine. You hold the pressure for as long as you have pain. It's amazing how you can feel the pain gradually subside. I was gone from the table for about 10 maybe15 minutes at the most, and when I got back Frank was fine, just the residual after effects of a migraine, just no pain. Acupressure is an accepted form of pain relief. I think there are pressure points for your arthritic pain too, but I've not used those. It's like acupunctue but without the needles. reading back at your post I would say 5 mins is about right. Narid didn't give a time frame, he merely said 'until you have no pain' Avril Edited March 22, 2021 by Adawn47 added text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you know it works, but for what it’s worth she said she’d had it recommended to her some years ago by a friend of ours who was a consultant anaesthetist running a pain clinic. He demonstrated its effectiveness to her by instantly removing a headache using an acupuncture needle in that location. He added that pinching the same location would also work, but take a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
