[QUOTE="Star*, post: 99962, member: 4964"] I suffer from about 15 migraines a month - the other 15 days I have a low grade headache, I haven't had a head hurt free day in quite a while. My doctor had no idea what to do and put me on a ton of medicine I could not afford. I looked into holistic herbs like Butterfew, but it's not a lot less expensive than medications. I get crippling migraines about 3 times a year and have to go to the ER. I can't talk, I can't walk, my blood pressure shoots up so high I'm in stroke range. I was on epilepsy medicine for seizures and a bunch of it. It did cause me to loose weight but it gave me the "dumb". I have charted mine for the past 5 years and know some of the causes - weather changes will put my head in a vise; unavoidable, but true. Strong perfume or cologne? Instant. And the time of the month thing - I'd prefer to go crawl in a hole. I have PMDD, PCOS AND migraines. What I have been doing that seems to help is start an aspirin regiment. I take 4 Bayer coated aspirin a day. I don't know if it thins out my blood or helps with the blood vessel constriction -and it does NOT get rid of migraines, it just helps with the daily headaches. I also stopped drinking coffee and severely limit my caffeine intake. That almost killed me - going off caffeine for me was harder than giving up smoking. And it hurt worse too - but I'm better with it all now. I try to watch the things I eat and see if they cause a headache - I do know that processed cheese will give me an instant headache - weird huh? Sorry for anyone that has these - truly awful Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
