Final Note on Migraine Relief Guide

For those of you who have been following the saga of my purchase of the Migraine Relief Guide, here's my final report — I received a full refund of my $37 today. Nobody ever replied to my email, but when I filed a dispute with PayPal, a refund was issued.

Now, I don't want you to think that all I did was grip about the book. I read it beginning to end, twice. Even took notes and wrote a review of the book. The review is based on the content of the book, nothing else. If you're interested in reading the review, here's the link: The Migraine Relief Guide: A Review.

Another Migraine Relief Guide Update

I thought it time to update you on my progress, or lack there of, in getting a refund from www.TheMigraineRelief.com for their 65-page Migraine Relief Guide.

After sending them three — count them, three — emails, I filed a dispute with PayPal this evening. PayPal will contact the payment service they use since payment was received through them. They have 20 days to respond. I have 20 days to await their response and to accept or reject it (if I get a response) or "escalate" it to PayPal for their determination of whether to force them to give me a refund.

Will definitely keep you posted!

Update on TheMigraineRelief

As I shared with you previously, one of our members on the MyMigraineConnection.com forum asked about the poduct/program promoted at www.TheMigraineRelief.com.

Not liking to comment on something I've not seen or tried myself, I went to the site. I woud doubtful, but since the "guide" was guaranteed, decided to try it. There were glitches with the download, but I finally got it.

Total waste of money for me. So, I went to the site, and emailed them for a refund. Keep in mind, this is what is on their site about their guarantee:

 

So far, I've emailed them twice for a refund. So far, they haven't even had the courtesy to reply. I paid via PayPal. If I don't get my refund by Monday, I'm going to file a dispute with PayPal and see what other avenues i have to file a complaint.

Follow-Up on TheMigraineRelief

Yesterday's issue with having purchased the Migraine Relief Guide but not being able to download it has been resolved.

I received an email last night, apologizing for the problem and providing a download link.

The question I think many of you have now is — Just what did I get for my $37.00? Good question.

There was the 65-page e-book, the Migraine Relief Guide, a pain relief e-book, a Migraine tracker, and a recipe book. Now, I never did get the recipe book. Even on their download page, that link is broken. But then, it's the Migraine Relief Guide that you're paying for. The others are "free bonus material."

Some people believe in the saying, "You get what you pay for." With the advent of the Internet and e-books, this saying is quickly going by the wayside. Since the Migraine Relief Guide is supposedly what I paid $37.00 for, I'll focus on my problems with it, being general so as not to violate her copyright...

• $37.00 for a 65-page e-book is absurd.
• Some of the information in it is outdated.
• Some of her suggested "remedies" have no scientific basis.
• There's nothing new or unique in it.

You can find better and more current information online.

If you want to buy a book, you can go to Amazon and spend $15 or less for a book that will have more and better information than I paid $37 for in this thing.

This supposedly has a money-back guarantee. Their site says, "If you're not satisfied, I will return your money." I emailed them today, requesting a refund. Again, I'll keep you posted.

Is There Any Truth in TheMigraineRelief?

Today, one of our newer members on the MyMigraineConnection discussion forum asked if anyone knew anyone about the product/program sold at www.TheMigraineRelief.com.

Allow me to quote from the site:

"What If You Were Able To STOP Your Migraines Once And For All
Without The Use Of Medications In A Very Simple And Effective Way?

The truth about mysterious migraines has finally been exposed!
You are about to discover the REAL secrets behind this truth. A truth that will allow you to take control over migraines and immediately change your life."

I admit that I am more than skeptical about this. However, without knowing exactly what this "truth" is, all I could justifiably say to our member was "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Yeah, I know. That's an old statement, but it still usually rings true.

To find out what this is all about costs $37.00. I decided to invest that $37.00 to answer our member's question. Paying through PayPal is an option, so I did so. I printed the page with my payment receipt, and I received an email receipt. After payment, I was supposed to be redirected to a page to download The Migraine Relief Guide plus some "special bonus products."

I was NOT redirected to a download page. The email receipt also had an email address for reporting problems. Well, guess what? That email address rejected my email when I tried to report a problem. Finally, I found another email address on the web site.

What will happen next? Who knows? I WILL keep you posted.

Could Sleep Issues Be Impacting Your Migraines?

Do you wake up with a Migraine or headache? Has your doctor ever asked you about your sleep?

Too little sleep... too much sleep... disrupted sleep... poor quality sleep. They can all be powerful Migraine and headache triggers.

You may think you sleep just fine. I certainly did, but I was wrong. I have a sleep disorder that, until it was being treated, disrupted my sleep. I didn't feel refreshed in the morning, often awoke with a Migraine, and got terribly sleepy most afternoons. If that sounds familiar, it's time to talk with your doctor about your sleep.

Migraine and headache specialist Dr. John Claude Krusz asks ALL of his patients about their sleep. If you'd like to see a video in which he discusses the importance of sleep, just click HERE.

Will the FDA Ban Some Meds with Acetaminophen

Do you use medications with acetaminophen in them for your Migraines or headaches? If so, you should be aware that the FDA, concerned about deaths from acetaminophen overdoses, is considering making some major changes in the maximum recommended dosages and possibly even removing some medications from the market.

Do you sometimes use Tylenol #3, Percocet, Vicodin, Fioricet with Codeine, Norco, or other prescription medications that contain acetaminophen and an opioid? An FDA panel has recommended that all of these medications be taken off the market.

Is that really the solution? I think not.

Migraine with Aura, Women, and Brain Lesions

For a few years now, we've been seeing reports of research showing that Migraine may be a progressive brain disease... that it can cause white matter brain lesions... that Migraine may cause brain damage.

A new study, which was partly funded by the Migraine Research Foundation, reveals more data about women with Migraine with aura showing brain lesions in later life.

Although this is nothing for us to panic over, it's information that we should have so we can discuss it with our doctors and do our best to take care of ourselves.

Find out more about this research in Migraine with Aura Linked to Late-Live Brain Lesions...

AND you can see what a leading specialist and researcher has to say about Migraine prevention in the video The Evolving Role of Migraine Prevention.

Seeing a Migraine Specialist

How are you doing with your Migraine or headache treatment? Finding the help you need from your doctor? Are you and your doctor working well as a team toward better Migraine disease management?

Finding the right doctor is one of the biggest problems we face. It's not easy. Neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine specialists; nor are pain management specialists. BUT, there are doctors out there who are.

For those of you who are still looking and those of you who wonder what to expect from a visit to a Migraine and headache specialist or clinic, I want to share my experience.

Of course, doctors, clinics, and personal experiences will vary, but it can't hurt to see what one person experienced. Right?

So, if you'd like to know what my first visit and first follow-up with Dr. William B Young at the Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia were like, take a look at Migraine and Headache Treatment - As it Should Be.
