My old GP (who thought she could help me w/ PCOS) told me my migraines were the result of "severe stress" due to my job, school and life in general. Then she prescribed Midrin for the problem, didn't help me w/ my PCOS & even refused to order a GTT. (That may explain why she's my old doc!) However, since our last discussion on this board, I'm now seeing a link between many women with PCOS who are also suffering from migraines. I "think" Clara's right on....IR & migraines may be related. Hopefully, I'll learn more about it when I go to see a new RE at B&W's in June. Alexis
