Paz, my mom has had her migraine for..you know, I don't even remember now. 30 or so *years*. 24/7. The Dr at the Mayo clinic asked her what was her concern, she said her head hurts all the time. His diagnosis was "your head hurts b/c you have migraines" Nobody's ever been able to find an answer for her. I've never had them for longer than a week. What helped me was getting off Nuvaring. I did three months after the ring, on regular birth control pills and still had migraines but they were at least 50% reduced in duration and frequency. To go from 10-15 days a month of wondering if a persons head could really explode down to 5-7 days was wonderful--and now that I've been off hormonal bc for three months, I've had..one, maybe two total, migraines in the last three months. I'm not sure if you're even *on* birth control of any sort, but it's something to check into anyway..hormones can really eff a person up.
