Migraine Question! Need Ur Help!!! Posted: 10-19-04 13:44pm
At this moment I have a migraine, i've had
it since last night. My mother says I am
getting them because I have an hormone
inbalance. One of her friends daughters
has it, she says that a day or so before
she gets her period she gets really bad
migraine headaches. Yesterday I got my
headache and today I have my period and I
still have a headache. This has been
happening for a while now. Do you think I
could have a hormone inbalance??

I get headaches just before and during the
first day or two of my period a lot. I
take excedrin or excedrin migraine and it
works really well. Goodluck.

It's not necessarily an "imbalance" as it
is probably just the changes in your
hormones that take place around the time
of your period... They may be refering to
a temporary imbalance of hormones. I
agree to try excedrin migraine (although
since it has caffeine in it, it can keep
you awake if you are about to go to bed).
If that doesn't work.. See a doctor for
a prescription medicine that you can take
if you know it's coming on.

Hey there.I get menstrual migraines.They
worsened when I was on the pill,especially
the last year.I use maxalt mlt.It is a
wafer that melts on your tongue,so you can
take it even if you are nauseous.It works
great and is not a narcotic,so you are not
"out of it".Good luck to you and hope you
find something that works for you.Patty
