I’m not a doctor, but I’ve read and heard many, many times that women suffer more migraine headaches than men do. I’ve heard here and there that it possible could be because women also experience more fluctuating hormones.
Earlier this week I was listening to NPR (National Public Radio) and they did a story about migraines, and that women suffer more often than men. And they actually even addressed the hormonal fluctuation issue. For so long, women have been considered unstable, or weak, because of hormones. But it’s not instability or weakness. It’s a physical condition and it’s real. To have it validated on NPR is amazing and wonderful.
Neurologist Jan Lewis Brandes, founder of the Nashville Neuroscience Group, says migraines can be triggered by hormonal fluctuation. Migraines are slightly more common in boys than girls until girls begin menstruation. And once girls begin to menstruate, and hormones begin to fluctuate up and down, the number of their migraines increases dramatically.
Here’s the full story:
Welcome to the new website, Women with PMS. The name of this website may change in the future depending on user participation and voting options.
This site is intended to become a place where women who suffer from Premenstrual Syndrome, and their loved ones, can come for support and information. Premenstrual Syndrome, the severe form also known as Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), is a very serious syndrome that affects roughly 3% of the population of women world wide.
This disease has been, unfortunately, mocked and stigmatized by society for many years. We will be working towards demystifying PMS, offering support to women who suffer from PMS through our forums, and listing women’s stories and how they have been able to cope with PMS through their lives.
Thank you for joining us and watch as this website grows and develops.
