Nerivio 12+

Very difficult to connect but treatment works as a daily treatment

I spend 15-20 minutes every time I want to do a treatment trying to connect this thing to my phone. I then want to throw the entire thing across the room, vs staying calm and meditative, which is the state in which one should be for this. For the love of all that is good, if it’s apple or this app, not sure , but it’s more painful than poking my eyeballs with needles.

However, I have chronic migraine disease, which means I get 15+/month so the goal is to do this daily. When I do that I think I’m reducing the frequency and intensity, so thank you to the developers. I do the treatment in combination with meditation and visualization, visualizing the migraines permanently being removed from my body. I think it does help.
Best of luck to others! 🙏🏻😀❤️

I’m glad I have this

I used Nerivio preventatively every other day for six months as a part of a study. I kept up with the daily dairy every day. No problems with the app, but the preventative treatment did not work for me. NOW, I use it for acute migraines with the guided imagery, and it helps a lot. BUT, the daily tracking dairy has become infuriating. Almost every day, I have to redo the dairy to get the info stick. It never did that before. It is already time consuming to do every day, and then to have to do it multiple times is crazy. AND, sometimes it just won’t stick for a day no matter how many times I do it. All that being said, I’m very glad to have Nerivio especially with the guided imagery. It is the new frontier for chronic pain.

Never believed this would work

I’ve had migraines since elementary school and now I’m a grandma. I’ve tried everything. My treatment plan now is the best I’ve had, but I still get migraines. My doc gave me Nerivio as a trial. I didn’t think much of it at first, but then they added the guided imagery and that made all the difference in the world for me. I almost always get a positive result and feel better. I think I’d do even better if I didn’t wait so long, but I just read some insurance companies may cover treatments. That will be great!
Anything that works and isn’t a medication is top notch in my book. Thanks Nerivio. I’m not often impressed especially being a Nurse.
