Migraine Support NZ

Pre Menstrual Migraine
I suffer with pre menstual migraines and heavy periods. A Gynecologist has recommended a Hysterectomy, leaving my ovaries. He thinks this may provide some relief for my migraines. I cannot see how this can be, has anyone experienced relief by having a Hysterectomy.
Thanks Christine

I have two children who get migraines, my 9 year old son and my 13 year old daughter. So far my 11 year old daughter has not shown any signs.

These migraines are very debilitating when they occur. Becuase of their ages they can only have ibuprofen and paracetemol – they are too young for Imigran (at least in NZ they are!), although my daughter has recently started on cafergot

Is there anyone else out there who has children with migraines, and how do you as a parent cope with the feelings of helplessness etc?

I would be very interested to hear from anyone
