Why do i keep getting migraines?!
Question: Why do i keep getting migraines.?
Hi, I have suffered from migraines now for approx 5 years on and off, I started suffering after the birth of my second child (a girl) approximately 1-2 times a week, for about 2 years, in which i had my eyes tested .. which were fine, then i fell pregnant with my 3rd child which was a boy and i no longer suffered for 2 years, then i fell pregnant with my 4th child born last november (another girl) and staright away came back the migraines, i'm now suffering 2-3 times a week and they are getting worse, i am prescribed sumatriptan by my doctor which at first worked really well, but now they are less effective, i took 2 in the space of 2 hours this morning which done absolutely nothing other than make me feel like a space cadet, then about 4 hours later it eventually wore off, i can't carry on like this, i just don't know what else to do.? i even thought about going to the hospital this morning as i was in agony! as you can imagine while looking after my children i can't go lay in a dark room or relax i usually sit just holding the left side of my head.Health Question & Answer

Most likely your condition is psychological. For some reason you may be more stressed after having a girl because you have issues with something. Most likely form the way it sounds to me you have a 'block'. A traumatizing event in your life that you can't remember and the trigger for it happens to be having a girl and is cured by having a boy.
You should work through the block, I know you don't have much time but meditating would probably help you a lot. Health Question & Answer

See a neurologist if you aren't already and ask if he is familiar with DHE treatment. ((dihydroergotamine mesylate) Injection, USP) It often succeeds where other treatments fail. There are also many other medications that can be tried but first, you should definitely see a neurologist rather than just your family doctor. Health Question & Answer

Consider checking the carbon monoxide levels in your home. When i was a kid, that is what caused me to have more migraines than normal.
Changes in menstrual cycle can cause migraines, i was put on birth control to help lessen the headaches.
Foods high in 'tyramine' can cause migraines (deli meat, aged cheese, etc.)
Changes in Weather.
Changes in Eating and Sleeping habits.
also, you can become immune to your medications. Something that works for awhile may not work after you've taken it for awhile. Thats when its time to switch to something else.
Here are some medications you may want to talk to your doctor about:
Relpax
Imitrez
Zomig
Midrin(helps me tremendously)
Frova
