Migraines can be caused by so many things. I had them from age 6 to 37. My then-husband talked me into going to a chiropractor. Gosh, I'm NOT going to a quack! Well, he bugged me to the point I went......haven't had a migraine since!!!! Looking back, they started after a car accident -- where I landed on my had on the floorboard (before seatbelts)... Considering the headaches "run" in your family....there's another reason (hormonal is my guess, too). Unless a person has experienced them, they have no idea how bad they are. My 1st husband didn't understand.....it's so sad and disheartening to have them treat you like you're an idiot!!!!
