i experience them, but i haven't found a way to prevent them, i actually have chronic migraines, and they get worse around my period......i'm on topamax, which doesn't always help......and i usually end up at my pcp or the ER for an injection of some sort cause that's the only thing that will help, but ask your dr for something like imitrex, or axert, or zomig.....see if any of those help.....or see if your dr suggests you taking any of those........i see a neurologist as well, and he still can't figure out what is causing them......it's a trial and error situation........stay away from msg causes them though i found that out

I have migraines all month long but they tend to get worse as my period gets closer. I am 39 and perimenopausal. I've tried all the drugs also, watched eating "trigger" food and even went without medication. I also take axert and i've tried amerge. Both meds work great with very little side effects and quick relief. I recently started taking a natural product called Brevail. You can find information online at www.brevail.com. It's actually for breast health but has been found to cut down on headaches and migraines associated with periods. I have noticed that I don't have as many headaches throughout the month but as I said, as my period draws closer the headaches get worse. If you find something that works, please let us know :) . Thanks!
