I suppose I'm the first one to try it since I didn't get any replies lol. Well, I figured I'd give an update in case anyone else was interested. I purchased a raw Baltic amber bracelet, and was highly skeptical, since, you know, it's a bracelet. I am pleasantly surprised to report that my pain has steadily been decreasing. The first 3 days I didn't notice any difference, but day 4 rolled around and I didn't need any pain meds! Prior to this, the longest I ever made it without a Tylenol or Advil was 24hrs. But I was typically averaging a med every 8-12 hrs. The longest stretch I now made was 56 hours! A new record. I have been wearing the bracelet for about 2.5 weeks now and have not taken any pain meds during the day for about 2 weeks. I take 1 Tylenol or Advil at bedtime and that's it! So now averaging only 1 pill a day, and sometimes less. And the best part is that when I do get a headache, it only ever gets as bad as 3/10, which before it was about 8/10 every time. Way more manageable.I have ordered a necklace also that should be arriving tomorrow, since my headaches originate in my neck and I was told the closer the amber is to the pain, the more effective. I hoping between the two, I will be headache free. And as an RN myself, I recognize this may just be a placebo, but I don't care, I'll take it!!!
