I've had migraines since i was 13yrs old, i find they come on approx a week prior to menstruation and often lasts till after my cycle. I also have a 20day cycle which means my migraines are almost constant. MRI is clear, Lumberpuncture is clear, had accupunture which does help but too expensive. Please Help!!

Try FEVERFEW!!! it's an herbal supplement that rescued me 10years ago...I was having them twice a month, & had jsut had a baby...couldn't crawl under the covers for a day or so to get rid of it anymore...so the hospital gave me Imitres...and promptly discovered I'm allergic to that....so talking to a friend, she told me about it & I started taking 1 capsule every day for the next 2 months...didn't have a single headache! Then it was almost 6 months before I got a vision disturbance (here it comes...) so I took another capsule & it went away, without ever exploding into a headache. Like I said, it's been over 10 years, & I've only had 1 mingrane since then, when I was out of town without my supply of feverfew.

I have suffered from migraines since I was 10 years old-I am now 50 so I have had 40 years experience. I do know a bit about them. First, you can have a migraine at any time. There is no set pattern-I have gone months and even years without having a single migraine. There are many migraine triggers. Hormones play a big part. That is why women suffer from migraines 3 times more than men. A week before your period is the worst time. I found that birth control pills helped me. Also, sinus problems and allergies as well as hot weather can trigger migraines. Certain foods can also be a trigger-chocolate and sugar are the number 1 offenders. Cheese can also do it. Watch your stress level too. Ask your Doctor about the triptan drugs such as imitrex and maxalt. These are very effective-they are expensive though. I have found that 2 regular excedrin works pretty good most of the time-the trick is to take medicine before your headache gets to bad. Good luck.

Well, there is this one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. The effects on the self-healing capacity the body and soul are really amazing - experienced them myself! :-)
Most people get rid of their migraines very quickly after this treatment.
Just - it's available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. You see a chance to enjoy the treatment?

It looks like your migraines are hormone-related. Visit a gynecologist, s/he might help you regulate your cycle. In the meantime, try to stay hydrated and work out to keep your blood circulation good.

Get a second opinion, no one should have to deal with migraines.

Have you seen a neurologist?
There are prescriptions that you can take which will reduce the occurrence of the migraqines, and prescriptions to take to make the headaches go away once you get them.

Try drinking coffee, caffeine is a great cure for such an ailment
