Yorkshire Migraine

Professor Anne MacGregor is the name to Google alongside menopause & migraine, Migraine Ireland is the only place I've seen her video, posted several times on my page, had I not seen the video I wouldn't have had the courage & knowledge to tackle my old GP's outdated knowledge on prescribing HRT to migraineurs. Between them they made a difference to my life with migraine.

Looking for a Chlorine free indoor pool??

I used to swim regularly until perimenopause kicked in with my chlorine allergy, talking to my Dad earlier when I realised I hadn't been swimming in an indoor pool for about 22 yrs 😲

I miss swimming & when I get the opportunity I ask for people to let me know about any nearby indoor Ozone or saltwater pools, literally anything without chlorine near Sheffield or within an hours drive so that I can swim with my daughter.

As a migraineur I was led to believe that post menopause & HRT meant Migraine free, I'm still chronic, just not as chronic as I was before HRT & the ovaries ceased production. On the plus side, HRT has helped & I'm down from 25-30 high pain attack days per month to 15-20 medium to low pain days, my cognitive function though is still hit full on as is recall for simple words. This mornings word that escaped me was chisel, I was looking at one but could not name it until a minute ago 🙄 bloody annoying.

My HRT levels are as high as I'm allowed, they have given me a little freedom from frequent high level pain migraine attacks, they don't address the Occipital Neuralgia, arthritis or cramping but I try to navigate life through them & the add on symptoms that are popping up daily 😁

I've spoken to probably hundreds maybe thousands over the last 20 years about how my body began reacting to cannabis/w**d/skunk when perimenopause kicked it. Its one of my 3 major migraine triggers the other 2 being bleach & citrus.

There is so much on industrial pollution but very rare we consider the vapours we inhale daily, passively, very rare people consider how they pollute the planet creating hell on earth for millions across.

Ingest not inhale would save me from costly masks & weeks with debilitating pain
