Kerry,   Thanks for posting about your experience with hemiplegic Migaines.   It's important to note that what your neurologist told you about the pattern may or may not hold true. Everyone's patterns are difrferent. If hormonal fluctuations are one of your triggers, then they may be more likely to lessen or stop after menopause. Some women have Migraines their entire lives.   Also, every Migraine specialist I know says NOT to remove the ovaries in hopes of reducing Migraines. Removal of the ovaries might help, but it might also backfire and make things worse. Please, please, please consult an actual Migraine specialist before taking such drastic action. If you need help finding a specailist, see our listing of patient recommended specialists.   Good luck, Teri
