Specializes in Neurology

CATAMENIAL headaches: Catamenial refers to "around time of menses"; migraines are renowned for flaring in a catamenial fashion, because estrogen is pro-migrainogenic. Yes, there are several effective strategies for dealing with catamenial headaches, and the american academy of neurology (www.Aan.Com) just put out guidelines about their treatment last year. Good luck!
