I've had migraines since i was about fourteen or so, they usually would come about once a month, so i figured it was hormonal.  two years ago i went on the contraceptive pill, and the migraines disappeared for a while.  Then about a year or so ago, they came back again, always when i came off my pill for a weeks break.

 spoke to my gp and i tried tricycling, which worked for a while, until i found myself having one migraine a week, whether taking the pill or not.  Decided enough was enough, and went  back to my gp and she put me on atenolol about six weeks ago.  so far in that time i've only had two migraines one of which was quite mild.

 I'm here to talk to other people who suffer from them, who can maybe help me to learn more!
