Very timely! I just wrote a lengthy post about migraine and chronic illness and my experience with medical gas lighting. Haven't decided yet if I will send it out.
Yes please to sending it out. You have a story we need to hear. To witness. We’re here for it. Ready and waiting🙏🩵
I firmly believe that we regain our power through sharing story. That in telling our story as it happened - and in later retelling our story as we intend it to be - we will bring about the greatest shifts, the highest change, in humanity that we’ve ever seen.
P.s. I ummed and ahhhed in whether or not to share this today. Now I’m so glad I did😍
I’m so glad it found its way to you. I’m super grateful for our connection. Were you chronic before peri-menopause kicked in? How has the hormonal side of things affected migraine?
Yes I have suffered with migraines since the age of 15. The migraines were always worse around my cycle. Now that I’m post menopausal I still get them with barometric pressure changes.
I have an app called Weatherex it alerts me of changes in my area and I use earplugs that happens for the most part. I also make sure to stay hydrated.
I also have maintenance medication I take at the first sign of symptoms.
I try to be proactive and take a more holistic approach whenever possible.
I’ve learned the hard way the importance of self care.
That is a proactive, multi-disciplined approach! 🙂
Like yourself, I have learned the very hard way about self care. Especially in regards to what it means vs what we think it means, as well as the critical importance to each - not just once a week or once a month but every. single. day!!
I wrote a post on it the other year (please do t feel obliged to read but sharing just in case)

Oh yea please! Thanks for sharing here😍🙏
Thank you for this as a chronic migraine sufferer I feel this!!

Sorry to hear that. Menstrual migraine are known as the most challenging and difficult to overcome amongst other things.
I used to ignore mine, knew they’d be worse if I went out drinking and did anyway (to numb out), suffering immensely.
It’s only now I realise how worthy of taking care of myself I am.
How do you support yourself when the barometric pressure changes?

How about you what do you do?
