Exactly how much of a role do hormones play in causing migraines?
I suffered from typical menstrual migraines as a teenager and a little more frequent as a young adult. I have had four children and had no migraines during the pregnancies but after each child and as I get older they have increased to 8-10 headaches a month. I also had a hysterectomy 2 1/2 years ago. I recently read that a lack of progesterone could be a definite cause. Do you have any advice. FYI: Immitrex takes care of the headaches and I don't seem to have rebound headaches because I may have a headache for four days in a row and then not for two weeks. Thank you very much.
