I had dibiltating headaches for years starting from when I was teenager, but it wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I heard the term “menstrual migraine” – and worse, my OB-GYN told me there was no cure, they were the hardest migraine to treat and manage, and I could look forward to menopause! Great (I’m being sarcastic) I then proceeeded to try many different brands and types of prescription migraine medications as well as natural cures such as Accupuncture, biofeedback, herbs, restricted diet and Accupressure to name a few.

Although I finally found a prescription medication that worked, it made me drowsy and I was finding I had to take double and triple doses. I also had to pay for it out of pocket since it wasn’t convered by my insurance. I found Dr Steve and Banjo by filling out an online survey on migraines. I received a sample of Banjo, and after following his directions on taking it every day, I made it through the month without a migraine! Since it was the holidays I was drinking red wine and champagne (which I’d found may trigger the onset of a migraine) but I didn’t get one at all which was beyond a wonderful holiday gift. I am looking forward to 2010 as a migraine-free year! Send more Banjo please!

[Ed. Note: Fewer than 10% of female migraine sufferers have acute migraine attacks exclusively in association with their menstrual period - but if you're one of them - menstrual migraine can be prevented by starting Banjo a few days before the expected time of onset and continuing until the high risk time has passed.]
