Does anyone know of links between haemangiomas and endometriosis or have they been diagnosed with it in the brain please.

I was born with a haemangioma on my forehead and have suffered from endometriosis since late teens. I now believe that my endometriosis is causing problems in my head (headache, raised pressure etc), but my GP says that it is not possible. Any help gratefully received and thank you.

Endo does cause migraines...... Basically due to eating something our bodies don't like at that particular time so the pain is caused from the bowels reaction and then turns into a headache. So yes it is true, that doctor needs to educate himself... X

Thanks. I guess male doctors dont know what it feels like x

Endometriosis and migraines are not linked.

Both conditions are common and sometimes (like me) you are unlucky enough to have both.

Stress of coping with the symptoms of endometriosis can make migraines worse.

Food definitely has role in migraines. My food triggers are, cheese, citrus and red wine.

You learn something new everyday... I have had aura migraines since the tender age of 6, I was always led to believe that there was a connection between the 2 condition, something to do with hormonal changes? But now that you mention it cuddlybarb I never did think it was connected!!! Btw sorry to hear about your dog xx

Thank you Lilykat.

Harvey died of old age and kidney failure. We had to make the difficult decision to put him to sleep. We didn't want him to suffer. My two other

dogs are lost and my children and I are devastated.

How are you? X

I am sure you are, I can't imagine anything happening to our Barley just the though of it makes me tear up, he's only 16 months old so I hope not to have to worry about it for a long time yet!! They are such a big part of the family, I'm sure Harvey had a beautiful life xx

Thank you lovely lady. Give Barley a big hug from me. X

Before endo I had never had a migraine, only got the odd headache which were few and far between. Now I have endo I get migraines if I eat something my body doesn't like and I get endo pain and migraines together. Headaches come from the bowel......
