> There are lots of ideas about what actually causes migraines; and there's probably more than one type or cause. Some people say they are vascular, while others insist neurological. I swear with my exp I think they've GOT to be hormonal.
I'll take one of the above. My migraines have become worse depending on how stable my perimenopause symptoms are. My gyn told me that I'm "exquisitely" sensitive to hormonal changes.
Environmental triggers become more sensitive (wind, cold, heat, humidity, yada yada yada) when I'm vulnerable hormonally. That my body usually responds well to the triptan drugs, which work on the vascular system, just tells me instinctively that it's all related somehow.>
> I think there are a few options your doctor may present you with. I hope everything works out!!!Thanks, Erinmarie. And nice to meet you, too!
BTW this is my first morning without a headache in about 2 weeks. I'm pretty excited about that.
