I know this thread is a little old but I wanted to share what I have experienced also. I know a lot of women who have endo who get terrible headaches. My sister got migraines so bad she went off the pill and they went away. I've gotten migraines also, but I am trying to control them in other ways while still on the pill. But I can count at least a dozen women I know who get either terrible headaches or migraines who all have endo. Most are either on the pill or take some sort of hormone replacement if they have gone through menopause.

I have been reading about menstrual migraines lately, which is caused by the drop in estrogen that occurs around your period, makes alot of sense to me that that might be happening to me, since estrogen dominance is a prob with endo, makes sense we might feel the drop quite badly. Have my fingers crossed that once i get my hormones under control this will go away. Menstrual migraines??? Seriously?! That makes so much sense. I have pretty mild headaches on and off pretty frequently, but I had a few before I started the endo diet that made me seriously kind of insane. I couldn't think or function in a normal way. I tried everything to alleviate the pain. I tried pressure on my head, ibuprofen, EVERYTHING! I started to think to myself that if I beat by head against the wall really hard that it would help. I actually would have if my husband didn't come in. It was the worst most disorienting pain in my life! It lasted a gruesome 2 hours...I would much rather go through endo pain then to have that happen again. I seriously thought I was going to die.
