Hi can anyone help me, since i started my periods, i have suffered with migraines, which i could cope with. But now im coming into an early menopause, i have daily migraines, which as you can imagine are a nightmare. Has anyone suffered the same, have any advice on getting control of them. Thanks for listening Bliss

i think you need to go to the docs with this. my sister has always had migrains, over the counter medicines just dont hit the spot, go see your GP if you havent already!

Hi Bliss. Sorry to hear you suffer with these terrible migraines. The best person here to ask for advice about those is Dawny. I know she gets some shockers some times that are really debilitating for her.

I should go to your doctor as well and see if there is anything he or she can offer you. I,ve never suffered with these myself thankfully but my husband does occasionally and they have made him physically sick sometimes. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the advice, ive been to the docs, tried various medications, to no avail. Im now going down the naturel route, currently trying “California Poppy Tinture” hopefully ill get there. 

Hopefully all of us that suffer from migraines, can learn from each other. Ill keep you all posted on any other things that might help. I know a few drops of peppermint oil diluted into naturel oil, can be helpful, just not good when you go out.

I have migrains quite frequently over a period of time then gone for another and the best painkiller I have been prescribed from my doctor is migramax, it may be worth asking about. I was also told to come of contraceptive whenever I got my headaches as this could trigger more serious symptoms.

Other than that I try to stay away from the caffeine and the sugar drink plenty of water too, well I know that is pretty common advice for migraine sufferers anyway.

Hi everyone , thank you for all the support and understanding, much appreciated, thank you ever so much. I went docs yesterday and she put me on “Paremex and Pizotifen” so ill have to see how it goes. Then she advised me to go on the mini pill if it doesnt work, Crazy. Anyway alls well today, ill keep you posted. 

Hi kezflake, i like your name, isnt that crazy advice from the doc about puttinf me on the mini pill, thanks for the reply, Bliss

Just replied to you PM Bliss xxx

Have had a Migraine since yesterday, been a corker TBH, been a sicky one too, just love those ones

So if this one continues, its back to the doc for me. Fed up of being ill

Hi Dawny, hope you are feeling much better today, my heart goes out to you. Thanks for the message, im ok today so far so good, im uping my intake of California Poppy tincture, hope it keeps them at bay. If not im going back to the herbalist, for a consulation. Keep your fingers crossed , my thoughts are with you x

Bliss hows things with you now? Are your migraines any better? Keep us up to date with how your getting on.

Dawny how are your migraines now? I really feel for you both suffering so much.

Hi its great to hear from you, thanks.  The migraines are no better, never mind, im of to the docs on Tuesday see what she says then.  Its been a pretty rough week.  Ive got good support from my hubby so thats good.  Has anyone heard from Dawny how is she.  Ive tried to contact her via Pm but cant get through.  How are you hows life treating you. How are your family.  Chat soon

sorry i’m not english but i understand what i can read.

few years ago doctors thought my daughter was suffering from migraine. I never had migraine,
so I’m curious… curious now as a mother of teenager (16 year old girl) and as a mother at the age of 40 and had some chemos 20 years ago.. I think i’m having some symptoms of pre- menopausal, but doctors here (where i live) don’t admit that…
