Has anyone tried Avulux glasses for migraine?

Hello @maxieg, I don't mind at all. No, I have not taken migraine medicine following the program. One of the PRC goals was omitting or reducing medication to as little as possible. I walked away from all meds when I graduated and never looked back. I'll say my biggest takeaway was retraining my brain and body to do things differently. Now I count on tools learned to help symptoms management. It takes time and repetition for retraining but for me it has been well worth it. I've found stress management to be one of the biggest components for migraine relief, in addition to physical exercise and of course eating right. How have you been doing?

Hi @rwinney, thank you so much for your reasurring reply. I turned in all of my migraine meds and weaned from seditives before I left.
With PCR approval, I have stayed with my very low dose Sertraline. Not sure about what I will do about that.
Overall, I do okay. I do have difficult times with intense pressure headaches. Really not sure if they are truly migraines. What I do is push through and would not be able to do that if not for the PCR program. I have done too much on the good days and pay for it the next day or two. It’s been a year since graduation. I keep up with my stretches, cardio and PT. I thought I would have more stamina by now. But, I see that it does not work that way. So I am trying to go back to the basics with time and stress management, moderation and flexiblity. The most important and valuable outcome for me is that I can now sleep after a year of insomnia as a result of their CBD therapy. I go often to the Monday zoom classes. Very helpful for sure.
Thank you for being a great Mayo connect mentor. I really appreciate being able to express all of this.
