Q: Migraine same time each month
asked by: Alifs on August 25th, 2008

I have been a regular sufferer of migraine headache since last couple of years but not so regular to the way it is now.

I get the attack on the 10 or 11 day after the first day of my menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle last for 5 days. Prior to the migraine i get the visual auras where sometimes i find loss of side vision or some balls or lines running its a very scary feeling at times, this last for max a minute and after some 10 min i will be down with severe headache. I feel nauseated, feel some stomach upset, many a times i get pang of hunger its everything associated together. Neither can i sleep, can't tolearte noise, light... say in a year i get this headache 9-10 months. It stays for some 4-6 hrs though the pain intensity starts decreasing after 2 hrs and sometime it occurs again but mild the next day.

Some help or advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanx

Have you noticed some other triggers for your migraine attacks or you find the appearance related with your period only?

Do you take some preventive drugs?

Have you experienced this in more than three consequential months?

Migraine that happens only around the period, beginning from 2 days before the start to 2 days after the end, and not at other times of the month, is known as pure menstrual migraine.
Usually, this type of migraine is more severe and more frequent than regular one.
