Migraines and Menopause

Anyone else gone through or going through perimenopause/menopause as a migraine sufferer? What things did you find in terms of medications/treatment for either that worked vs. making the other worse? What other things have you noticed?

This is very new to me. Migraines for years, but only recently started perimenopause. Just started hormone replacement therapy this week.

  1. I want to note for thoroughness that it is a little bit extra complicated for me because I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago and only have one ovary left. So I don't have periods and have a fairly irregular hormone cycle. So it is a little tough for me to even tell, but I did have it confirmed by a doctor that my hormone levels have significantly dropped and just started hormone therapy.
