Q: can postpartum hormones cause or intensify migraines?
Cause? No. Migraine is a genetic neurological disorder. And since you had migraines in Jr/High school, you already have it.
Intensify, trigger, exacerbate? You bet! Hormonally triggered migraines are very common for women, particularly menstrual migraines. I've heard of many women whose migraines change with pregnancy and menopause, so it's pretty common. Unfortunatley, any change to the delicate equillibrium in a migraineur's body can cause major disruption in our heads.
