There's no helping migraines caused by hormones (unless things have
changed a lot), but others will respond to heat or cold. There's even
medication you can take for them. Inderal is only one med. There are
others formulated especially for migraines. Have you discussed it
with your Dr.? I find that the most responsive Drs are either those
who get migraines themselves or those whose spousal unit does.

Sometimes I even put it in the food.
