A 40-year woman with Migraine at Migraine Upkram said that she gets bad headaches before her
menstrual cycle. This is a classical symptom of Migraine. The headaches were this bad that she
would fall unconscious because of it. 7-8 days of the month would go holding the head, tying it with
a dupatta, vomiting for the entire day, falling on the floor but no relief in pain. She started having
Migraine since her age of Menarche i.e. 14 years and all through her life she didn’t have migraine
just for 2 years when she was pregnant and not menstruating. So, you cannot stop menstruation but
that doesn’t mean that you learn to live with it. You can treat Migraine the moment you think you
want to treat. Her treatment continued for 6 months and no more headaches disrupt her difficult
days of the month.
