Migraine Awareness Month #3: Just Shoot Me Now

I'm taking part in a 1-month blogging challenge from Health Central's migraine group. Today's blog - what's my worst migraine trigger, how do I avoid it, and how do I handle it when I can't avoid it. 

OK. So, I my big trigger is something I can't avoid very well - or at least I don't know how to avoid it yet. It's those dreadful hormones. They take my body on a wild ride every month. Twice a month, at peaks in my hormone cycle, my head goes through the ringer. I started on a continuous birth control pill, Seasonale, in hopes that by regulating my cycle, it will raise my migraine threshold, so I have fewer and less severe migraines.
