I’ve tracked 197 #migraine episodes since May 2020.
2020–Oct 2025 Baseline: High-frequency, ~3 attacks/month, 7-day median gap. Severity typically 5–8 on a pain scale, peaking at 10.
Since #HRT and #estrogen: The median gap is 10 days, with much lower severity, averaging 1 on a pain scale with an occasional 4 breakthrough.
For you #perimenopause folks who find that migraines worsened in what might have been early perimenopause (before periods fluctuate), doctors may warn you that estrogen might worsen your migraines. But it might also be the thing that makes them better? It’s clearly dramatically helped me.
I’m basically back to the level I was when I first went in and was like “I seem to be having kinda frequent headaches? Can you help?” and got diagnosed with chronic migraine.
