Patient discussion about catamenia.

Q. preventing pre menstrual MIGRAINES. Has anyone come up with any good preventive medicine for migraines? Mine come systematically right before and during the menstrual cycle. My (male) neurolight in Paris didn't seem to see a linkk with migraines and my cycle - or offer any preventive advice. I take Relpax to relieve. Does anyone have a more natural or preventive solution?

A. I have the same problem and take Topomax to prevent the migrains. Also make sure you get enough rest right before you start. There seems to be a correlation. It took about 2 months to fully work but at least the first migrain after I started taking Topomax wasn't as severe.

Q. can you get poly-cystic ovarian syndrome when you still have your menstrual cycle?

A. polycystic ovarian syndrome is when the egg does not come out- so i guess there is no menstrual that month. but as far as i know it's not every month that an egg decides to stay at home after 18... i guess you can check up more exact at this site:

Q. is it normal to get a nausous feeling around the time i would start my menstrual cycle?

A. Yes, it is absolutely normal to feel nausea before and during menstrual cycle. The shift in hormonal levels can cause also headaches, mood changes, feeling of bloating and other common symptoms.

Some girls may notice that seizures occur more often during certain parts of their menstrual cycle, such as the middle of their cycle or in the week or so before their period begins; this is called catamenial epilepsy.
While seizures can disrupt hormonal balance, neurons in the epileptic brain can also become hypersensitive to hormones, a force that seems to drive both catamenial epilepsy (a pattern of seizures that peaks near the time of menstruation) and the high prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in this population.
