I have been looking into something called Migraine Defense for my daughter, she is almost 15 and has been experiencing what I believe to be menstral migraines for about 1 1/2 years now. It is a natural herbal treatment to stop the hormone trigger of migraine. Has anyone had any experience with this product?
Her migraines last 3-5 days. We have tried birth control pills; magnesium, B2, CoQ10; Butterbur; elimination of allergy foods; chiropractic; massage therapy; reflexology. We have been seeing a pediatrician who tried the birth control and imitrex (makes her stomach hurt to bad to take it). We saw a neurologist who said he didn't think it was migraines as a headache didn't always occur and she had a hyper sleep component as one of her symptoms. He thought it was a sleep issue and sent her for a sleep study. Then did an MRI and EEG. All normal. The Naturopath tried natural treatments, see above, as well as phyto estrogen to try to balance out hormones. A nasty drink that she couldn't stomach. She missed 40-50 days of school last year (8th grade). This year she is in high school and can't miss more than 12 days. I'm losing hope!! Any suggestions out there?
