I have recently made the connection that my migraines mostly happen around my period, usually the worst on the first few days I go off the pill for the week. I googled it and realised that there is something called menstrual migraines, and it's more common in women that take the pill due to the sudden drop of the hormone during the week you don't take it. I've recently started a lower dose pill so I'm hoping this will help me. I've noticed this in only the past 3-4 months.

I also trigger migraines when my blood sugars have gone crazy, like rapid highs and lows (I'm diabetic).

I can take 3 advil and 3 tylenol at one time and this will numb the pain enough for me to function, but it makes me feel woozy. I always make sure I eat with them. For me, I find that caffeine helps so I tend to take them with a cup of coffee Probably not too healthy but it works!
