Mine were totally menstrual related, sometimes I would have them to weeks apart, a part of a hormonal change. As soon as I stopped menstruating my migraines stopped. I would have had a hysterectomy if I had known this beforehand.

I’m just recovering from a migraine attack. I heard that when you are in menopause, migraines go away, but I think it doesn’t true, because I’m 52, and I have an aunt with migraines too and she’s 71. So there’s no hope😢

I'm convinced there are people out there wrongly diagnosed with a mental illness who just have silent migraines with the exaggerated mood swings/depression.
