Sharyn, I have migraines too. They got severly worse when I was on BCPs. I
truly believe that PCOS and migraines are related because once I got on the
IR drugs and started a low carb. diet, they started getting better.
Good Luck, ----Jennifer
P.S. I also stopped eating cheeses, they contributed as well.
