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several times on my page, had I not seen the video I wouldn't have had the courage & knowledge to tackle my old GP's outdated knowledge on prescribing HRT to migraineurs.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 😁
