Does anyone have any advice about hormonally triggered migraines in perimenopause? I landed in hell when the hormones started cycling every 14-21 days instead of 28-30 & I can’t catch a break. The estrogen patches helped a lot, but also I think they’re keeping the cycles going so idk.

Today I will take a nurtec even though it scares me. They last a couple days and there is some paper out there that talks about how CGRPs affect hormones a bit. The triptans help for an afternoon & even though I don’t believe in “medication overuse headaches” (it’s an excuse to make women suffer & to deny us healthcare) I don’t want to burn through my supply.

Edited to add: and these stupid itchy ear canals . . . Wtf even is that? Would vaginal estrogen cream rubbed into my ear help because OMG THIS IS SO ANNOYING!!

There is finally a for-sale sign on the #house next door after ~2 months of (up to 12 hours long) daily renovations. They’re still renovating even with the sign…but the end is in sight. Juuuuuust as the neighbor 2 yards over decides to start ripping down his shed

Dear one: it’s because those weren’t sinus headaches, they were #migraines :( #13yrsago #timehop

It turns out that #Sailing and #Migraines are incompatible 😢

Second day after my preventative med dose, and the fog seems to be clearing! I was able to read a chapter today and comprehend it/keep track of the concepts. Soon my research shall be in full swing again! #chronic #migraines

The #terrierist has a particular pitch in her barking that makes it feel like my skull is going to crack. The "joys" of #migraines and #dogs who scream at other dogs through the window.

Interesting thing, this pollen season, is I seem to be having a number of "silent" #migraines. On the one hand, it's like, "thanks for not being painful to the point of needing to lock myself in a dark, quiet room." On the other hand, turning my thinking-processes into pudding ain't great given that I need to do a lot of problem-solving during a given work-day.

I woke up with a terrible migraine 😭 So this is how I'm going to spend the day 😮‍💨
I had plans for the writing workshop and at the job office, but I had to cancel everything.... I can usually catch a migraine before it gets bad, but this came in my sleep... So I couldn't catch it early on and take medication ❤️‍🩹

I live being at the #gym when a pressure system is making its way through the area. That feeling of a rusty blade stabbing through your eye is just a top notch feeling.
