Many things cause migraines. Diet is one factor. Foods like cheese, chocolate, coffee, and other foods that contain caffeine can cause migraines. I am a migraine sufferer myself, and have found that playing Video Games, watching television or using the computer for long periods of time, can also trigger a migraine. Also, Migraine suffering can run in families. My father suffers from migraines and, consequently, I to suffer from them. Stress is another thing. If you've had a hectic day at work or school, or your feeling stressed, that can cause migraines. I hope I've been of some help.

Unfortunately, this depends entirely on the person.

Some women experience no change it all.

What is the best birth control for someone who suffers from migraines?

Condoms, spermicide, diaphragms. All forms of birth control, whether pill, patch, implant, Nuva Ring, or injection - all deal with hormones. When you have migraines and take birth control, you are risking increasing migraine activity as well as a small increase in the risk of stroke. For some women, birth control may help their migraines. For some women, there will be no difference at all. For some women, there is a dramatic increase in migraine activity. Make sure your prescribing physician knows about your migraines and how often you have them before you begin birth control. Make sure your neurologist knows if you are taking birth control if you are being treated for migraine. Everyone needs to be on the same page.
