I use replament .625 replacement estrogen patches every 3 days beginning at the start of my menses for a full week-10 days post menses. It helped somewhat for the past 2 years. Seen several neurologists-tried all that rig a ma roll that didn't help and end up using migraine abatement regime of 1) Exedrine Migraine-if that doesn't work 2) Fiorinol and if that doesn't work 3) I have 30ml of Tordol that I can inject myself. Still I have a headache cycle and lethargy that lasts about 10 days every single month-rarely lasts just a day or two. I haven't seen and endocrinologist and just spoke with my Ob/gyn and he balks at the idea and insists on a neurologist again. I'd like to have children someday and have a regular job but these headaches prevent both! Can an endocrinologist help me? I have a fam hx of graves dx and wonder if this is underlying but my primary doc won't take it seriously either-and my brother with Graves had normal results of first line lab levels done-mine were also norm but they refuse any further studies. I need help! Where do I turn?? Dear anonymous -- I suffered for years with migraines. The thing that has helped me the most is ACUPUNCTURE. It's a god-send. I used to go 2x a week for a while, now, I try to go 1x week or at least 2x a month. I can't say enough good things about it. I had been to specialists and frankly was tired of all the pills -- one pill for symptom A, one pill for Sympton B which was caused by the pill to get rid of symptom A and so on down the alphabet. If you decide to pursue this you want to make sure your person has proper accreditation and perhaps dual status as an herbalist. Good luck. H
