And like, it sorta seems like that 7-10 median shift isnāt that big. But it FEELS huge. Instead of being like, āoh, yeah, thatās this weekās migraineā, or sometimes being unlucky enough to get two, I sometimes go a whole glorious week or more at a time with nothing.
The bigger drop is obviously the pain shift ā feeling a 5-8 is basically āIām fucked until the drug cocktail kicks inā. Feeling a 1 is like āoh, hey, I guess Iāve got an annoying headacheā.
Anyhow, the estrogen patches havenāt been perfect - Iāve had problems with the first brand falling off and gumming up clothing with the adhesive, and Iām now switching to a brand thatās apparently better at sticking but requires changing 2x a week. But Iāll take the tradeoffs.
