I can’t cope with these migraines!

Q I have suffered with occasional migraines for many years, which I manage with prescription medication at the start of an attack. Sadly, my husband and I have decided that our marriage isn’t working and have started divorce proceedings. I’m sure it is the stress but my migraines have hit with a vengeance and I am having two or three attacks a week. Please help! A I am sorry to hear this and I am sure it is the stress, too. Make an appointment to see your GP who will explore some options with you. You may need professional help to manage your stress and your GP may also offer you a prophylactic migraine treatment. This is something that you take every day to prevent attacks, rather than something taken to avert an attack when symptoms start.
