From Jan Horton
With a family history of migraineurs going back at least three generations, I was prone to motion sickness which was exacerbated by flickering lights, such as that caused by driving past tall trees. I suffered no headaches until I started using a contraceptive pill in the 1970s.
Frequent migraines occurred thereafter, even without the pill, until a ruptured ovarian cyst resulted in a hysterectomy in my mid-thirties. I haven’t had a migraine in the 30 years since. Drastic, but totally effective.
