debilitating migraines for as long as I remember...

Get them done. I can tell you about the thousands of dollars, and specialist after specialist I saw over the years I had debilitating migraines... Oh the meds I tried (and spent money on) of course not without side effects, and the fact that nothing really worked. Want to know why I had debilitating migraines for as long as I can remember? A tongue tie. I had very mild speech issues as a child, and while my mom said she had some nursing issues and gas problems with me as a nursing baby, she "powered through" I had some dental issues that were related to ties for sure, but tore the lip tie when falling off my bike as a kid and had thousands of orthodontic/dental work courtesy of my parents. 

My son was revised and it was a huge game changer for us, the biggest problems we faced were around 4 months when supply will naturally regulate, my supply started to tank and fortunately after revising he was able to nurse great and get it back up there. He went from screaming in the car seat to liking the car and falling asleep, and he also started sleeping SO much better. For me? I learned about my having a tongue tie from debating whether or not to go through with the revision for my son... I was shocked! And had mine fixed, even though I was rather unconvinced that was my problem (wouldn't ANY of the dozens of MD's I saw over the years at well reputed institutions like the mayo clinic and also a well regarded university research clinic have figured that out?) it's been a year and a half and I don't have migraines anymore. It's legit changed my life. 

I went from being on the fence of fixing my son's (and definitely cried the whole time before/during/after the revision) but I'm currently due with my second and I'm getting this baby's mouth assessed by the provider that helped my son soon after her birth. I don't want any child of mine to suffer like I did for years for a tiny damned flap of skin in their mouth!!! (Which btw I've had mosquito bites that are more traumatic/hurt more)
