Complex Migraines

Anyone else start having worse migraines during perimenopause? I've now been diagnosed with complex Migraines which can be triggered by hormones. In other words, I'm having them all the time. Waiting for neurologist appointment. Is there anything I can do for some relief in the meantime?

I just starting having crushing migraines 1 day after turning 49 yrs old. Although I’m going through perimenopause, it’s related to low blood sugar due to hormonal changes. Started eating every 3 hrs and they’ve subsided. Hope this helps and you feel better soon

Migraines got so bad I was having a couple a week, they are definitely hormone related (plus I know cheese is also a trigger...don't know why just get them if I eat it), since being in hrt I'm down to one migraine a month just before I'm due my period

@Marcelle Thank you so much! Thanks for taking the time to respond and for the advice. I am so grateful. I read about caffeine and sleep. Ive never known which supplements to take. I'll look into the brand you've suggested. Thank you again.

I did. I had to give up drinking alcohol, and any caffeinated beverage. I couldn’t even tolerate decaf for a while, but I’ve been able to bring decaf coffee back. I went online and read about migraine triggers and just have to avoid all of them. You can look it up and see which things to watch out for. After I eliminated them my migraines were less frequent, but I still got them sometimes. I started taking some vitamin supplements specifically for menopause and perimenopause. You can look that up online too. There are lots of over-the-counter brands. I use some that I buy from the company Gennev. I also use some that I got at Costco, I can’t remember the brand name. After I started taking supplements that made a real difference. And then I had to be really careful about getting enough sleep. All of those things added up together, and I am only having a migraine about every six months now. Good luck! My migraines were the worst thing about perimenopause.
