EFT and migraines

I suffer from migraines since childhood. I was told that chocolate is the main culprit, and that was bad news since I adore chocolate, especially around "those days". Anyway, it not just chocolate what brings my migraines, but a whole army of triggers, ranging from aged cheese, to barometric changes. Right, like I control those... (in truth, sometimes and cannot even control my chocolate cravings...especially when i am with PMS).

My last migraines was a couple of days ago. I tried EFT on it, and although it makes it a little more manageable, to this day I haven't been able to totally suppress a migraine with EFT. The difference this time was that I had a bloodshot eye along with my migraine, for the first time. It was completely red an d itchy. I googled it "migraine bloodshot eye" and receive lots of results saying that it can be an accompanying nuisance, especially because it happened of the same side as my migraine.

I dodn't know how to deal with a bloodshot eye. It's not pinkeye. I decided to make some chamomille tea to wash it with, as I do when the kids have pinkeye. While the tea was cooling, I did one round of EFT.

Even though I have this bloodshot, completely red and itchy eye, I totally and completely accept myself
Reminder phrase: "this itchy bloodshot eye"

One round! And the redness was gone. That was incredible! The first time I got relief from EFT so fast!

    Awesome! Isn't that a wonderful feeling?

    I find the trick is to be very specific when choosing something to tap on...

    You are right, but this is the first time it worked out so fast when tapping on my own :-)

    Wow! Such an amazing tool. I have no question in my mind that you'll make progress with the migraines, too.

    Hi Ange, thanks for the encouragement :) I don't know why, but migraines are being persistently tough to tap on... I can lower a little the SUDS number, but that's it for now. Need to keep tapping ...

    Wow, that's an amazing result! To me, the result was so rapid on the redness because you were tapping specifically. As far as the migranes, perhaps you need to delve more into causes, emotional or otherwise.

    John, Tiffany, thanks for stopping by and for your comments.

    John, I agree with you that I need to delve deeper and see what's at the root of the migraine. I guess it would be easier to work it out with someone else, who can see things in a different or impartial way.
