MOST of us would head straight for the medicine cabinet if we were troubled by a severe headache but after pills failed migraine-sufferer Lyndsey Montanes-Tena she decided to look elsewhere.

Lyndsey, 28, from Widnes, Cheshire, started to get regular headaches when she was 18.

They soon turned into migraines which were so bad she was constantly vomiting and would temporarily lose the vision in one eye.

“I was on antidepressants and beta blockers which worked for a bit but then the migraines would come back,” she says. “In the past two years I had been getting about four a week and ended up having to take months off work.”

Lyndsey consulted migraine specialists who told her to cut out caffeine, chocolate and daytime naps and to drink lots of water and to exercise.

“It didn’t help,” she says. Then, browsing the social networking site Twitter looking for information on her condition, she came across a dentist who claimed to be able to cure the problem.

Lyndsey contacted Doctor Pavandeep Khaira in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and made an appointment. “He said I had classic signs of jaw clenching because I always woke up with a headache.”
