Could you be suffering from perimenopausal migraines?

 After listening to a woman on the phone describing her migraine pattern, I reasoned that she was in her mid-forties (she later told me she was 45). I am not clairvoyant; rather I have found life-time migraine patterns to be similar for much of the female population. In this case, the migraine pattern was clearly that of a woman in her perimenopause stage of life. 

 Perimenopause, which can start as early as 35, is the time when the symptoms and discomforts of menopause first appear, including hot flashes, mood changes, weight gain and unfortunately, an increased level of intense migraines.

 Throughout a woman's life, from puberty through menopause, migraine patterns are generally correlated to the changes or fluctuation of what are called hormone messengers secreted from the pituitary gland in the brain.  These messenger hormones are responsible for regulating the production of other hormones such as estrogen and progesterone during the menstrual cycle and are seen in our research as the causing agents for migraines. 

 Unfortunately, the secretion of these messenger hormones which control the regulation of estrogen and progesterone becomes sporadic during perimenopause resulting in the increased level in severity, frequency, and duration of migraines as they become chronic daily migraines.

 Treatment, especially for the prevention of perimenopausal migraines, can be very challenging during this time of life when the migraines become resistant to pharmaceutical therapy. Although it was once thought that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may provide some relief, it is now the conclusion of the Mayo Clinic, among many others, that the notion of HRT or the use of supplemental estrogen or progesterone to control or alleviate migraines during perimenopause is not an effective treatment and in many cases actually exacerbates the migraine problem. 

 Stopping Perimenopausal Migraines

 It seems as though many doctors give up on their perimenopausal women migraine patients when the medications that once controlled the migraines begin to rapidly fail and the side effects from such drugs become too adverse for the woman. 

 Perhaps it is for this reason that the majority of Tuliv migraine clients using Tuliv Migraine Defense daily are women in perimenopause. Tuliv Migraine Defense was originally created to control perimenopausal migraines and essentially provides a migraine-free life for the women who take it daily.  If are over 35 and your migraines are getting worse, than you may well benefit from Tuliv Migraines Defense and enjoy a new migraine-free stage of life.
