I got told by my doc that panadol and a maxalon together work wonders for headaches/migraines and that if you take it at the first sign it will help it stay at bay. I've been getting headaches for weeks that turned into migraines and the mix has so far stopped my headaches turning into a migraine.
My doctor prescribed me foricet for my migraines, I've had to take one dose almost every single day. I called to tell them I was running out and they won't prescribe me anything else but since I'm 18 weeks they told me to take 4 Advil just once. Yes right. I'm not going to do that. I'm pretty bummed, its Bern nice to live headache free for awhile. Now I've got to go backto pain which makes me depressed.
I have had 3 real migraine headaches in the last month that each last 3-4 days, two with the usual auras I have had for yrs w/o headaches, and one began in the middle of the night-- so can't be sure I didn't have an aura then too. It had been 11 months since I have had one of these aura episodes w/o headache. I just started 25mcg of thyroid hormone 2 months ago for a goiter + hypo symptoms.
Headaches in women, particularly migraines, have been related to changes in the levels of the female hormone estrogen during a woman's menstrual cycle. Estrogen levels drop immediately before the start of the menstrual flow.
Premenstrual migraines regularly occur during or after the time when the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone, decrease to their lowest levels.
I've had migraines like that before but because I was pregnant. I know headaches can be caused by pregnancy because of the high hormone levels changing. I don't know what you can take now that your preg but nothing used to work for me and I would just have to sleep it off!! Feel better!!
Still in the first trimester, 11 weeks, been having crazy bad headaches. They last for a long period of time and I try naps to help. Hot showers and massages. Want to avoid medication and will talk to my doctor when I see her Wednesday. Anyone experience this or have advice?? Thank you!
Yes and no. Headaches can happen from all the hormone changes. For me though I had to be put on some medicine because the migraines were affecting my vision. Severe headaches and migraines should be mentioned to your doctor and let him decide if it's a problem, especially if you're having other symptoms with them.
Participants who took part in four sessions where they learned skills for managing their headaches reported a significant increase in their belief that migraines could be influenced by their own behavior. In other words, they were able to conquer that helpless feeling that is all too familiar to those of us that suffer from migraines.

I was diagnosed with migraine headaches when I was a teenager. I am in my early thirties and they seem to be getting progressively worse with age. Now when I get a really bad migraine I throw up all day and cannot keep anything down even water. I have even passed out the day after such headaches. I have noticed that I am also having have tremors. They do not occur all the time but their frequency seems to be increasing also.
I have had awful cluster headaches and migraines since I've been pregnant. My doc says could be hormone related (I've never been able to take birth control because the hormones gave me migraines) he also said could be caused by the increase in blood volume during pregnancy or nadal /sinus congestion.
I had a partial hysterectomy (I still have my ovaries) 4 years ago. I have had headaches/migraines my whole life . Recently they have gotten worse. I have been diagnosed with sinusitis many, many times, I never really felt like that was the real answer. Lately my migraines are so terrible I am unable to even get out of bed without vommitting. I also developed brown spots on my face a year ago . I am concerned and really don't know where to start can you help me?
I read migraines are real common but it said that getting a hot face and neck like that wasn't normal? I dunno I hope it goes away soon though!
Hello,
Oh my goodness do I ever have hormone headaches. I even notice vauge head discomfort with ovulation some months. Imitrex tablets and the Imitrex injectable pen have completely helped me. I hardly ever need the pen and can usually get away with only half of an Imitrex tab.
Hormone headaches are definitely for real, get yourself some pain relief and enjoy feeling better.
Take care.
Thank you for responding pep. I don't know a lot about migraines, but I have read some of the symptoms. My arms and hands were going numb and tingling, so you may be right. Of all the problems I have had, this is the most frightening. Thank you again for the info. I hope you are well now.
ve been suffering for with headaches since I was in the 7th grade. I think they could hormone related since I sometimes miss my period and my breasts occasionally hurt. But I'm not sure. FYI I'm not on the pill or anything, so no issue there. I've been to different neurologists and have had many MRI and CT Scans, that all come back normal. I've been going to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, hoping they would catch something but everything appears normal.
This may indicate primary headaches such as migraine, tension or cluster headaches. However, it would also help to check on her hormone levels as well since at her age, there are plenty of changes in this aspect that she is experiencing. Rest, ice packs, prescription medications may help provide relief. A headache journal may also help her identify the possible triggers that she should avoid. Take care and do keep us posted.
It seems probably you are having vascular headaches - migraines and stress due to pregnancy, high sound, bright light and work might be triggers. Are there any associated symptoms like nausea, vomiting, giddiness, and blurred vision? Avoid working in congested place or outdoors. How are your blood pressure levels? You need to rest for at least 2 hours in daytime. Before considering any medication do consult your Gynecologist. Have nutritious food; drink plenty of fluids and adequate sleep.
