Hi Scottie Lover,

 

Migraine is a genetic neurologic disease that may change as we age. For some women hormone fluctuations may trigger Migraine attacks before, during and after menopause, but they do not actually cause the disease. There are some Migraineurs who see a reduction in Migraine after menopause, but it seems to be hit or miss. In our Ask the Clinician section, this question, Role of Hormones in causing Migraines may be very helpful.  

 

And anytime our symptoms change it is important to discuss this with out doctor.

 

Good luck
