OLD MIGRAINE-now esp during periods
My mother (aged 49) has a severe migraine since her early 20s. Painkillers and injections are not really affective.
And from the past few years, she is experiencing that throbbing migraine pain along with nausea, around her periods every month. This pain lasts for 5-7 days. (Possibly menstrual migraine)
She is not even suspecting menopause coming by, as her periods are normal and regular as earlier.
Please suggest some treatment or the 'procedure' to follow to get the right treatment to get it cured as much as possible?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.

If her migraines have gotten worst over time, then you may need to take her to a neurologist nearby who can prescribe her new medications on migraine attacks.
Sometimes we need to change the course of triptan salts and start the patients on prophylaxis for migraine to get their condition under controlled.
So my advise would be to take her to an experienced neurologist whose sub speciality is in migraine or headaches and they would be able to treat your mother.
