I have suffered with migraines for 4 years some lasting everyday for 3 months. Most recently my doctor wants to do a frontal lobe biobsy. There are cerebreralvascular disorders that could be treated and help with this. And i researched that migrraines are linked to endometriosis which I have also. Hormones have us really messed up I guess. I hope You get answers. If so, can you give them to me too.
