Ever since puberty I have suffered from migraines. I've taken so many different meds for them. I use to take Imitrex but that stopped working for me. My doctor thought I should try a preventitive med, Topamax (sp), it's an anti seziure drug that thay found helped prevent migraines. I hated it. It made me feel so funky I stopped taking it. I did discover a hormonal conection. Every time I had my period I got terrible migraines. This made me switch from the patch bc to the nuvo ring, which I leave in four weeks instead of three before I put in a new one and I only take it out and leave it out every three months, so I only have my period four time a year which equals less migrains. But I'm still looking for an escape from them. I can loose an entire day becasue of a migraine. The pain is horrible. Sometimes all it takes to trigger one is if I run into someone who is wearing strong cologne or perfum, cigerette smoke and list goes on. So if anyone else out there suffers like I do or knows someone who does who can help me out I will forever be greatful.
