There is some very exciting news in the migraine and
headache community - TheraSpecs
®
will be featured on the television show The
Doctors tomorrow! That's right - on Thursday May 2, 2013 TheraSpecs® the
specially designed glasses that may provide relief to some people with migraine,
will be on the television show The
Doctors. Tomorrow's show is centered on non-pharmacological pain relief for
painful conditions such as arthritis, restless leg syndrome and others.
Hart Shafer and his wife Kerrie Smyres, who both suffer from
migraine and headache, are the creators of TheraSpecs®. These glasses were developed due to Kerrie's extreme
disabling migraines after she literally tried a myriad of preventive
medications and Botox, acupuncture, physical therapy and many other western and eastern approaches. At some point in the course of one of her migraine
specialist appointments, they discussed that light may be complicating her
migraines. That's when Hart began his mission to help reduce his wife's
suffering. Because Kerrie is so debilitated by her migraine pain, she's no
longer able to maintain a career, instead writes a blog about living with
chronic migraine called The Daily
Headache and is a patient advocate and blogger at Migraine.com.
TheraSpecs ® are the "precision-tinted
eyewear" for those of us with migraine and headaches and suffer with photophobia
or light sensitivity. These glasses work to lessen the frequency and severity of
migraines by filtering light that for some can trigger an attack and help
reduce eyestrain light may also cause. I have an original pair of these glasses,
but currently do not need to use them. My son however, has used them and tells
me his eyes feel "relieved" when he puts TheraSpecs® on
during a migraine. Anything to help with the pain is good. Remember to set time
aside tomorrow to watch or record The
Doctors talk about TheraSpecs® and migraine.
