Migraine near Ovulation Time

[admin]

Archived message from old website from Ruby:

Hi! I have experienced migraine for several years but have noticed that, over the past number of months, I experience migraine during the second week of my monthly cycle i.e. the week before I ovulate. I have a pretty short cycle of approx. 26 days so this is also just after I finish my period. I wonder if anyone else experiences this and if it is at all common? If so, has anyone found any good way of dealing with this? I am extremely careful to avoid trigger factors during this time and I take Imigran to deal with the pain; I find the Imigran very good but it is still such a pain! I'm 25, by the way so I could have many years of this to experience!

Hi I get migraines all the time but I have found I get more intense ones when I ovulate and just before my period. I only noticed this in the last while since I've been keeping track. I haven't found anything to stop it happening yet. If you find anything please post it up here. The only thing I've found that helps is I have a woman's cycle programme on my phone so I can keep track and plan around it.

Hi, I am 31 years of age. I am suffering from migraine since I was around 7years old so its been very much part of my life. So far no cure! I take imigran tablets when I get a migraine attack. My worse attacks occour around the time of my periods. I have tried several preventatives but to no success. Most of them lower my blood pressure too much which results in dizzy spells and light headed. I would try anything to cure my migraine. Its horrible when one has only a clear head a fews days in the week. So for all those who suffer migraine lets stick together and try to establish a cure!!
