I saw my neurologist a couple of weeks ago because the migraines have been awful.  During the visit he mentioned that he would send me a tens machine..so I received it in the mail..I don't know where to apply the things(sorry can't think of the word)..you can't apply it in certain areas.  He didn't discuss this at the visit..and he is out on vacation.  Has anyone tried this for chronic migraines..did it help you?  Would appreciate any advice?  Thank you!

I have tried my husbands TENS unit before and I'm sorry to say it didn't help the migraines, but everyone is different and his machine is quite old so the newer ones may work Wendy.
Sorry I couldn't be more encouraging.  Hope you feel better soon.

Hi,

I don't know if this helps, but I have used a tens unit before. I think I placed the things on the back of my neck for about 10-20 minutes at a time. It doesn't hurt, just gives kind of a tingling sensation. I hope this helps. Have you tried asking someone in his office about it. Usually, physical therapists may know more about the tens unit than the drs. (You could always check on this.)

Hope it helps.

Hang in there.

Pain free days,

Thank You so much, Sara I love you My head was hurting; I tried to google it myself, but my head was all foggy. 
Thanks for all the other responses as well. Finally got a hold of my Neuro. He was supposed to include an appt. w/Physical Therapy for usage instructions.
Just waiting for the call-back to set it all up. 

Love You, My Migraine Angels I love youI love you

I'm glad you got the reply and some direction.  I find the tens didn't work when applied to my head but that when applied to my neck it is great!

Thank you too Milo..my appointment is next Wednesday..so my hubby has tried it on my neck and shoulders.  It has helped my neck..I have fibromyalgia so I thought what the heck I was in pain why not ?  It did say right it the little book it would not help headaches. so I don't know quite what to think.  Waiting to see what the physical therapist says..

Hope that you are doing well migraine friend!
