Is there any relation of Migraines and menstrual cycles?

Yes.  It is called "menstrual related migraines".  i have been researching it all day.  Here is some data from the Diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago.  con

Absolutely!  My most painful migraines are right before my cycle begins and sometimes right after.

I believe there absolutely is!  I am 35 now and started getting migraines at around age 17-18.  My absolute worst and most painful migraines are almost always just before (sometimes during and rarely after) menstruation.  Sometimes these are responsive to triptans, but only when caught very early.  Unfortunately, triptans are very expensive and I don't always have them on-hand, unless I have take-home samples from my doctor.  While I can manage other migraines on my own at home (decongestants and caffeine are surprisingly effective), I have noticed that I end up at my local urgent care center predictably every 3 1/2 to 4 weeks.  What works in these instances is an injection containing 2 components:  Phenergan and Nubain.  Unfortunately, this requires a shot in the bum, which is truly a nightmare for someone who hates needles, nearly to the point of phobia.  The fact that it just simply and truly WORKS on the most unbearably excruciating pain is why I eventually submit to it on day 2 or 3, usually by the time I'm in tears, which never helps a migraine!  Also, my menstrual migraines almost always last 2 or 3 days, (sometimes 4). 

One note, and this is a MUST:  The Phenergan/Nubain injection at the doctor's REQUIRES a ride home, as it is STRONG and works FAST.  I also always am usually deeply asleep within an hour, and can stay asleep for a LONG time.  I try to remember to drink plenty of water before I fall asleep, to avoid dehydration, and almost without fail will wake up the next day without the migraine, but I will have that 'migraine hangover' feeling and some fairly substantial exhaustion the day after the injection - going back to work the next day is not generally an option.

I'm curious to know if anyone else reading this finds some or any of it familiar...
