Long comment: Many people suffer from migraines, and sometimes it is due to hormonal imbalance. If you (women) find yourself getting cyclical migraines according to your menstrual cycle, it is a hormonal problem. The cause of the migraines is estrogen dominance, where progesterone levels fall and estrogen increases. This causes fluid retention and your brain also swells causing the migraines. Progesterone cream can gradually help relieve the pain. Another common cause of migraine is aspartame, which is found in diet drinks and yogurt.
