Hi Diane!   Migraine is a genetic neurological disease. Unfortunatly, there is no timeline to when they will start or stop. For some women, they start at around puberty and get better after children or menopause. For some, they start later in life.   Of course there are women out there that didn't start having migraines until menopause, you are not the only one!   We have a forum on our site here, if you'd like to join us in more of a discussion. We have a great group of members and the forum is quite active with ages from 13 and up!
