The sad part is, the doctors refuse to admit that the BC is the cause. <br /><br />I think for many people only one or two brands work for them with little to no side effects while all the other ones mess them up. It's a pain figuring out the right one though.talklesssaymorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938292497467031659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223109661908851312.post-12876525878041839182010-06-12T06:19:25.939-07:002010-06-12T06:19:25.939-07:00Hopefully, the medicine was the problem and you wi...Hopefully, the medicine was the problem and you will not have anymore migraines!!<br /><a href="http://www.admaya.in" rel="nofollow"> PPC Advertising India </a>sanjeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04043304632873778108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223109661908851312.post-1573812744940165052010-05-08T18:48:39.709-07:002010-05-08T18:48:39.709-07:00Ive gotten migraines my whole life the only birth ...Ive gotten migraines my whole life the only birth control (trust me when I say I have tried them all) is ortho trycylin...<br /><br />I would not wish migraines on my worst enemy...Random Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14109757741210625162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223109661908851312.post-9256387982857445822010-05-08T04:14:41.258-07:002010-05-08T04:14:41.258-07:00Glad you are feeling better.

She found out she had to much candida in her digestive system. She went on a very restrictive diet for a while to get rid of the yeast and she is migraine free now!Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110420412281024292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223109661908851312.post-1461425057851698152010-05-06T21:44:26.154-07:002010-05-06T21:44:26.154-07:00Such great advice.

Anyways, recently (as in a few months ago), I realized how moody and emotional I was during my periods. Like, much more so than typical. I figured it was my bc because, what else could it be? I got off of it, switched and I feel so much better! The NuvaRing worked for me for a long time... but not forever.

Mine were bad, but not 4-day long bad spells like you were dealing with. I was on the pill at the time and my family doctor (whom I adore) explained that the timing of my migraines coincided with Aunt Flo's monthly visit. Estrogen & serotonin (did I spell that wrong?) go hand-in-hand and when they dip...the migraine comes! He put me on antidepressants to keep my happy hormones in check and that worked. The antidepressants, however, didn't set well with me. I wasn't sleeping. Ick.<br /><br />Anyways, I switch BC and got the Mirena IUD and, lo & behold, no more migraines. Of course, Aunt Flo disappeared all together, too. <br /><br />This totally has NOTHING to do with your story, but I figured I would share since we both had an issue with headaches and birth control.<br /><br />I'm so glad you stood firm and listened to your gut. And, I'm glad your head is feeling better.<br /><br />OH...and I really like the pics you did for Lis & JD!! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02257009371838799718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8223109661908851312.post-62013760838539332502010-05-05T13:33:21.050-07:002010-05-05T13:33:21.050-07:00You know what?

So sorry you had to deal with migraines lasting this insanely long. And I'm sorry no doctor could help either. I hate when this happens. Glad you took action and tried something and it worked. Trust me, it's what we all have to do.
