Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 07:09 PMA friend of mine had a full hysterectomy and has not had a migraine since. Another friend had just her ovaries removed and has had just a few migraines in the last 10 years. I had just my ovaries out, had 4 months of freedome and then had one in January and then every day since April 1st. I dont know!! I still am holding onto some faith that this is going to at least reduce my migraines to once every 3 months or something. Heck, I would take once a month again.-yes, it was 2 weeks out of every month, but not daily like I am doing now. Hot flash Heaven sister!!! I am not on any estrogen replacement-that seemed to be my evil. So for now, I am soaked all the time!!! Sleep with the fan and an ice pack on my head.

Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 10:57 PMHello, and welcome to MyMigraineConnection.com!
I'm so glad you found us and shared your story. Here's the thing - Migraine is a genetic neurological disease thought to be caused by overactive neurons in our brains and genetics. Migraine attacks are triggered by many things including flucating hormones, foods, smells, weather changes and even dehydration. Hysterectomy's, and other female surgery will not remove the cause, but help reduce the trigger. Does that make any sense? Contineu reading these articles for more information: Migraine Disease, Menstrual Migraines, and Hysterectomy and Role of hormones in causing Migraines?
