I have been having Violent migraines since i started the beginning of going through the Menopause. Sickness all day and depression, different aura symptoms too. I have however discovered that if i stop eating chocolate the headaches stop. I have always been able to eat what i want whithout it affecting my head, so why now?. The healthier i eat cutting out too much junk it makes me feel better. I have not had a period for 9 months and also since my last Migraine 3 weeks ago my sweats have stopped. Could it be i am getting to the end stage of menopause?. Im 48 but have heard menopause symptoms can go away then come back, is this true?. Advice please?.
