  1. If you are getting menstrual Migraines, and you are having them a few times a month - have you tried preventive treatment? What about Frova? I read the list of the things you've tried, none of which are a medication - they are mostly suppliments. Are you against medications? I was that way for a long time, until I was in so much pain I gave up and got on a preventive plan.

    Good luck to you! I find menstrual Migraines to be the worst kind for me. I'm happy I hardly get them anymore! I wish you the same! :-)

  2. Hi, thanks for your comment, I've updated the post to include some of the medications I have tried in the past.
    Is Frova like Sumatriptan?
