Have Migraine. Pain, Vomiting. Taking Vovron And Emeset

Hi, my wife (40 years) is a migrain patient for the last 12-13 years. She gets migrain attack once in a month (1-2 days prior or post her monthly period). This lasts around 45-48 hours and during the attack she feels severe pain and continuous vomitting (after every 20-25 minutes. For the last 3-4 years she was taking the injections (vovron and emest) during the attack, but for the last two months these injections do not give her much relief. We would request you to please advise us.

Migraine is known to precipitate in women in pre and post menstruation period. For your wife the attack seems to be quite severe and would almost qualify for status migrainosus. There are medications available which are more powerful than the current medications that she is taking. Also she needs to take prophylactic medications for migraine will prevent the occurrence of these attacks. You can discuss these options with your neurologist and he will guide you further.
