Hi Mel,
I have stage IV endo and was diagnosed in Sept. 07. I had suffered
from migraines that seemed to go with my cycle since I was a teenager.
Days 1-3 were always the worst. Usually, they were on the left side as
well. I tried so many things to get rid of them, but found that Imitrex
was the only thing that worked. Anyways, when I went off of the pill
two years ago, they pretty much stopped. I still get them every once
and awhile, but it's way better than it used to be. Only a couple times
a year now compared with a couple times a month.
So I don't know if my endo and headaches were related, but I definitely
think the birth control was causing them. I hope you can find something
that works for you. My headaches always made me sooo miserable...
