I've been a migraine sufferer for 20 years. While I'm not having any related to the surgery, I can try to help. Did you ever have any tests done previous to surgery to know their source? Are they true migraines (one-side only) or just really bad headaches? They can seem like the same things, but there is a clinical difference.

For me, it was a bevvy of things. I am predisposed genetically, I have horrible hormone problems, large breasts that cause horrific back and neck pain, and some food allergies. I also have to keep a schedule. If my sleep, eating, stress, etc. get out of whack it's like a perfect storm. It has been a huge help to change my diet and stick to it. I always knew refined sugars and carbohydrates could be a culprit, not having them (much) now has made a difference with everything from weight loss, headaches, energy, sleeping.

I would also want to look at your magnesium, Iron and B12 levels. I have a hard time keeping those in check and find that when I'm low in one or more of them, the headaches become more frequent. That's why the two days before menstruating are my time to get headaches when those are lowest.

Are you staying hydrated with 60oz or more of fluids per day? Dehydration can cause wicked headaches. Remember: If you find yourself thirsty and needing a drink, you're already dehydrated. Stay ahead of it.

Dehydration and headaches are very related.

Betterthanbefore-

That is true. Also, I wonder if they are the three day, over one eye, or on one side type of migraine or headache.

Wishing & praying you haveno more migraines.

I was really bad with migraines. I would get them on one side or over one eye. I bought a water container from walmart that holds 8 glasses of water. It is easier to measure from there and u can see if u r drinkjng all water. No more migraines for me since then...sleep is also a factor
