Re: surgical menopause/migrains.From: Joanne (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 16 Jun 1997 09:00:49 -0400
Yes. > Migrains are a classical symptom of the menopause. > > -- > Bernard Cristalli MD CNGOF > AIHP - ACCA > Paris - France > http://www.obgyn.net/corresp/cristalli.htm Oh wonderful. Another question then. Is there anything that can be done, to help prevent them? That is other than estrogen replacement, as that isn't possible as yet. Actually, I do believe the migraine, most likely, was from the Black Cohosh. I had also experienced an episode of extreme depression, with weepiness and feelings of wishing I was dead, though not bad enough to act on the thought, shortly after the first dose of BC. The migraine happened several hours after the second capsule. Now I know depression is also common with menopause, but it does seem so coincidental that these two things happened, both of which I've not been subject to in the past, after beginning Black Cohosh. I've decided not to tempt fate, so I'm staying away from it, altogether. Another question for everyone. How long does one usually experience menopausal symptoms, post hysterectomy? Are we talking, on average, months or years? I'm also looking to find the lowest dose of estrogen replacement, I can find, to alleviate the symptoms, prevent reactivation of endo, yet give me the benefits of ERT by protecting my bones, and heart. Tall order, I know. I've heard there is a Climara patch that is only .1mg. That seems a pretty low dose to me. Anyone know anything about it? Have any of your patients had success with it? Thanks again.
