I get menstrual migraines & am in a rural area. have seen 3 docs who don't know what to do with me anymore. they are angry when a medication/treatment isn't effective. i get upset too, i don't want to be in this much pain but i'm out of options help!

It sounds like all: of you are very frustrated but your doctors shouldn't get angry. Most migraneurs can be treated successful. Tricyclclic antidepressants, B-blockers & calcium channel blockers are potential preventive therapies. Aspirin with caffeine & other OTC's, anti-nausea meds, triptans,magnesium, steroids, extra fluids and ergots can treat migraine after it starts. Don't give up! Dr. Anne

Pranayama: Pranayama, which is yogic breathing exercises, can be very helpful for migraine headaches.

Can be treated: Catmenial (menstrual) migraines are not uncommon, with approaches than can be slightly different than that used for other types of migraine headaches. Since you are in NM, suggest your doctors utilize the teleHealth linkup of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine to discuss your case. http://hsc.unm.edu/health/patient-care/telehealth.html
