women's migraines

I take Excedrin Migraine for my migraines, I also have an herbal supplement called Fever Few. Only place I have found it is at GNC General Nutrition Store. I also eat Hershey's chocolate bar and drink a coke. I also take a goody pain med if nothing else works. Laying in a dark room with my eyes shut, doesn't work unless I am trying to go to sleep. Good Luck I hope your migraines go away and this was helpful info

If I am going to get a migraine it is going to be either when I am ovulating or during my period. I ended up going to get a prescription. I can't take walking around 3 days with a migraine not going away.

I used to get them but since I gave birth to my 24 years ago I never had one since But I know they are terrible Have you seen your Doctor and asked him if he has anything to give you for them I hope you can find something Twin to get the relief from them

I found that I had less migraines, and for a while none at all when I added more magnesium rich foods and a magnesium supplement, to my diet. That is add more sea food, beans, and nuts. I would have them about four times a year. Also, mine do seem related to weather. I had one this last weekend, and I have not had them in ages, like over a year. I think taking Black Cohosh helps me, as well. That would tie into menstrually related. I have had a hysterectomy.

When I was on Birth Control, I would get them just before my period for about a week. Then, once I got off BC, the frequency of them came to an end. Now, I only get them if I am really stressed about something or when the atmospheric/barometric pressure is high because we are going to get a storm. Not all storms will do it to me. And, I couldn't tell you how high the pressure has to be to insure a migraine but, it is something I noticed. What helps me is normal visits to a Chiropractor. I see a Chiro once a month every month. He usually keeps my migraines at bay. But, there are still occasions when I will get them because of the atmosphere or stress. But, no longer because of my menstrual cycle or misalignment of my spine. So, my suggestion would be, if you are on BC and can get off of it, you might see that you stop getting them. Otherwise, see if a Chiropractor can't make you feel better when you get them...although, I think yours are hormonal and I don't know if a Chiro would be effective for that kind of Migraine.

if it's just a menstrul migraine depending on your health since your period lowers your blood count you could take some iron and try midol. it that doent work you cud always consult a doctor i suffer from migraines all the time and i try everything the sun to get rid of it because im not a happy person lol when i have that nasty migraine.

My migraines used to center around my period, and they usually still do, although I now have them more often. And mine would last days. My gyn. put me on birth control because that levels out some of the hormones that cause the migraines that are caused because of the periods. I'm on Yasmin, and I've been told by a couple of doctors that is the best kind for 'period' centered migraines. Ortho-tri-cyclen I've heard it also effective. However, I still get a lot of migraines. And I currently take Amerge. However, when my insurance covered it, I took Imitrex shots, and girl, those work (the needle injects itself when you push a button)!

hi,arkaf61, just a note to say that I feel you, I had severe migraines for years, and took all sorts of medicine for relief. Just that time of the month I was miserable. Have you tried any of the new medicines for migraine. Back in my day they did'nt have any. I went through the change and no moe headaches. Talk with your dr. popciclecold

I have never had a problem with migraines and hope I never do. I heard that taking a daily supplement of vitamin b12 helps(riboflavin) Hope you get some relief real soon.

You know I had migraines when I was a kid that were just awful and I knew never to bend over because I would get the worst pounding. I used to kid that I had a brain tumor but I honestly never knew what it was, it would come and go but I had them for years and they just disappeared, I just dont recall when because I was a kid and was just doing other things. My family didnt use aspirin so I just never brought it up to my parents and I drank alot of water so I don't think it was that. I have such a low tolerance for migraines now that even the slightest hint of one makes me want to run. I try to tell myself that if I just drink water or get some gaterade in me that will work but it doesnt always work that way. I was outside walking under the hot sun the other day with the kids and by the end of the night my head was pounding even with all the gatorade, I had to call my boyfriend to come home a little early because the only thing i could think of was sleep and it worked so well. Thank goodness, thats a rare thing, but I do take a medication that might bring them on if Im sweating alot or working strenuosly, I have to keep that in check.

Hello There! I always have to go to my OB for my irregular menstrual period and at times, I had experienced a severe migraine. She told me that it is normal if we experience that though not that too often. I just took her advice and take some pain reliever (advil, biogesic or anything for migraine) then after 2 periods more, my migraine stopped. If it is really consistent, I suggest that you see an OBgyne since it only occurs when you have your period. Take good care!

I get them a few times a week. It's very painful and I have bottles of motrin usually not too far of where I might be- like in each bathroom, at the computer desk, and 1 in a drawer in the kitchen. I hate migraines, have had them since I was young.

I am suffering from migraine from last 10 years.Intially the attack was very frequent,once in a every month.Now this happens only in summer.Actually summer is too hot in my country. I felt severe pain in right part of my head.I cannot open my eyes whenever I suffer migrain. I found that when I am exposed to direct sunlight for 2 to 3 hours especially in summer, I suffered from migrain. I take a aspirin tablet or a sleeping peel and sleep in a cool dark room. My grandma told me to put a drop of mustard oil in both nostril and these really works.

I got perscription pills that really worked, but they were about $25 a pill.

Hi there, I am not a woman to give any feedbacks on these but I do know a way or two to treat a migraine.If you can find ginger in your place,slice a few piece,put it on your forehead and then get a cloth and put it around your head.At this point the ginger is between the cloth and your forehead.Tie the cloth as tight as you can.If you would like to feel even better,sleep in room where there's no light at all.It should be pitch dark.Sleeping in a dark room and ginger on your forehead should help.My mum always face this and she practices these methods.Seems to be working well.Just a suggestion.
