I have read with interest the post on prolactin induced migraines.  I
have some questions for consideration.

Was there a history of migraine prior to this 4th baby for either
Anne Andis or Jan Aken's clients?

 Has either mother had a return of menses?

Was there any history of miscarriage prior to this fourth baby for
either mother? (suggesting possible hormone deficiency)

I wonder if someone should be looking at progesterone levels instead
of prolactin levels. Or better yet look at both!

Weaning may not produce a reduction in migraines.

Has either mother considered  dietary changes that may help.  Foods
that might not have been a problem in the past could now be a part of
the problem.

Migraines at night are usually worse because, for many people,
migraines are worse when you lay down.

I too would want to see the proof from this neurologist that
prolactin was producing the headaches.  What kind of permanent
disability was he talking about from persistent migraine?  A second
opinion is needed. Bring on another neurologist and get an
endrocrinologist involved to look at the complete hormone picture.
