When my daughter entered her final year of college, she started experiencing migraine headaches and flu like symptoms including sore muscles and nauseas. I took her to see several doctors to find out what was wrong with her. I was told she suffered from no physical ailments and that it was mostly stress and anxiety. Then we were sent on our way, left to deal with it on our own or with heavy medication. Neither solution was okay with my daughter or me. So we kept looking for help. After about two months one doctor finally started thinking holistically and suggested we look into biofeedback as a diagnostic tool and to help us find an appropriate treatment method through meditation.
The doctor told us that by hooking my daughter up to biofeedback equipment they could monitor certain body functions such as heart rate, skin temperature and muscle tension. By finding when these changed, the doctor could then figure out what was triggering her migraines.
Once my daughter had a couple of sessions that helped her to identify her stressors, she learned some stress relief techniques. Since then she has her migraines under control and her flu like symptoms have completely disappeared.
