Patient: I have been suffering from migraine for 12 years, and I can’t find out what the cause is. It happens 6 times in 12 years, and each time it takes half a month or as long as 4 months. The pain is really unbearable, each time the pain is 2 to 8 hours, and after recovering, it is the same as normal people, but after a year and a half, it comes back. The 6th time the medicine really can’t cure, inadvertently used acupuncture treatment, zap acupuncture 12 times, once every other day, well. This time, it seems to have vertigo pain, and the location of the attack is the same as the original, basically the left forehead, and the left neck cervical blood vessels, the pain is so big that the whole head hurts, and the whole head is uncomfortable when it is more serious, and now the doctor is treating me for Meniere’s syndrome, and I have been infusing fluids for 2 days, and eating vertigo and cipro, but I don’t see any improvement. I want to continue to seek acupuncture treatment from a Chinese doctor. Can I get acupuncture for migraine 5 times a year while I am well? Is it possible to prevent it? Or has anyone suggested that I should have 10 infusions of pulsatilla a year? I look forward to the professor’s reply.
