Insomnia and migraines
| I can have
a migraine that lasts up to seven weeks. The herbal remedies that
worked for me in the past are not working on the hormonal migraines.

When I was 32 and my Grandmother told me I was nearing "the change",
I thought she was joking. Wrong - my family finishes "the change"
between 37 and 43.
My main complaints are insomnia and migraines. I can have a migraine
that lasts up to seven weeks. The herbal remedies that worked for me in
the past are not working on the hormonal migraines. I'm currently taking
600mg Gabapentin a day to prevent the migraines with a little success
- at least they are not as painful as they could be. Just when I get used
to the rhythm of the symptoms, they change.
On the bright side, I only have 1 - 5 years more of this and when my
friends are going through their own "hell", I'll be able to
say "thank god that's over".
I don't have hot flashes, I take short, private vacations in the tropics.
