@liztai The last two years before I fully reached menopause, I had daily headaches and about fifty percent of them were migraines. Try working with your head pounding every day for a year. One of the few times I went to a doctor and they had nothing that helped.

The ordinary headaches disappeared as soon as I hit menopause. The migraines took longer although they reduced down to one or two a month each lasting precisely three days.

Then I retired. Now I have maybe two migraines a year (generally related to days when the barometric pressure drops rapidly) and I can often stop them with peppermint oil (something my doctors never suggested).
