Comments on: Next year I will officially become a “cyborg”. For those of you who are close to me know I suffer from severe chronic migraines, the worst kind there is. I have tried so many treatments from acupuncture to Botox and nothing really helped my case, so for a drastic case, a drastic option will be applied, meaning I’m having a Neuro Electrical Peripheral Nerve Stimulator surgically implanted as seen in the pic. This technique involves both occipital and supraorbital nerve stimulation and was documented to be successful in more than 80% of patients suffering from chronic migraines. It will deliver mild electrical pulses to my nerves for pain management. In the meantime I will be using the Cefaly headband for pain management as well until I get the pacemaker implanted. I’ve been suffering from migraines since I was 6 and it has taken a toll on me, It keeps me from enjoying many things in my life and I feel like I’ve missed out on so much. I can’t focus, concentrate, study, work, etc. Fingers crossed and this will be the end of most attacks I get. #TENS #neurostimulator #FUmigraines #Cefaly #headband #belgian #technology #cyborg #transhuman #posthuman #migrainesufferer #mechanical #partmachine https://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/bhenderson/2015/01/30/next-year-i-will-officially-become-a-cyborg-for-those-of-you-who-are-close-to-me-know-i-suffer-from-severe-chronic-migraines-the-worst-kind-there-is-i-have-tried-so-many-treatments-from-acupunc/ Education and Digital Cultures January 2015 Sat, 14 Mar 2015 18:32:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: bhenderson https://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/bhenderson/2015/01/30/next-year-i-will-officially-become-a-cyborg-for-those-of-you-who-are-close-to-me-know-i-suffer-from-severe-chronic-migraines-the-worst-kind-there-is-i-have-tried-so-many-treatments-from-acupunc/#comment-20 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:30:16 +0000 http://edc15.education.ed.ac.uk/bhenderson/?p=111#comment-20 Hi Claire, as much as I would like to be a Cyborg the article was

Pretty amazing too that you will become a ‘cyborg’! :)
