Well, me for one.  I have suffered with migraines since I was 18.  Had 1
while pregnant and 2 while bf.  Migraines increased toward weaning time
(2 yrs.).  Became very cyclical.  Always got a horrible one the day
before my period.  Here's what I (and a few friends) do: Week before
menstruation, eliminate ALL animal fat.  This includes yogurt, cheeses,
milk, eggs, meat, poultry, etc.  Skim milk, no-fat dairy products ok,
however, I eliminate most of this as well.  Also start 1 capsule of
Evening Primose Oil 1x/day for until menstruation.  Can include a
non-steriodal anti-inflammatory 3 days prior (e.g., naproxen).  I haven't
had a PMS migraine since.

Now to this mom, is it possible she's ovulating?  Even is she cut back on
the animal fat in her diet it might help.
