QUESTION:

I have had hormonal migraines since a teenager. I am now 56 years old. I have tried various medications and participated in numerous clinical trials. Have yet to find a treatment that works for me. 3 years ago at the onset of menopause the migraines decreased in frequency and severity. 8 months ago headaches returned occurring every 2 - 3 weeks and are severe. My ability to cope with these headaches is not as strong as when I was younger. I do not have medical insurance. I live near Austin, Texas. I would be willing to participate in investigational studies.
Thank you for your help.
J.

Dear J:
The only headache specialist I can think of in Austin is Dr Marci Roy. I don't know if she is conducting any studies, but you may want to call. Unfortunately, the most expensive part of treatment of headaches is the cost of the medicine(s).
