“I suffered from chronic migraines since childhood. Managed with meds for a long time. At times, I would be resistant to meds and then they would “start working” again. Same dosage. Same brand. I was at a low point of them not working. At the end of 2022, I went all in with a neurologist and tracked every headache and symptom for months. Tried Topamax (horrible side effects) and researched the next new med (abdominal injections monthly). Decided to go a different route and commit to an elimination diet for about 4 months. Migraines seemed to get worse. Now I understand my nervous system was even more disregulated from this very restrictive diet that actually created more fear around food. In January 2023, I found the Curable app and listened to success stories and expert interviews. I started the brain retraining work through the app and joined their Facebook group. Through the app, I listened to Nicole Sach’s interview and saw many people on the FB group posting about her. Have listened to every podcast. I’ve watched all her YouTube content. I continue to explore mind-body connection and learn. And most importantly, I am chronic migraine free. Get headaches from time to time, but for the last year or so, I would say I am free from chronic migraines. They are rare and managed with meds or sometimes just the work of JournalSpeak, pain reprocessing and mediation on the occasion they arise. I do not live in fear of them. They are not debilitating in any way. This work is worth exploring if you suffer migraines (or other chronic pain and conditions). Nicole’s work and her podcast in particular have been instrumental to my healing journey.”
