Migraine and Perimenopause with Dr. MacGregor
Every once in a while I like to point you to other peoples’ articles or videos on key topics. Usually I do this on Twitter or Facebook, but this article deserves a little extra attention, as does its author.
Professor Anne MacGregor is a specialist in hormonal migraine. She has 30 years of clinical experience, and continues to work at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London (where she teaches headache medicine), also lecturing at the University of Worcester. She is author or co-author of numerous books, including Migraine: Your Questions Answered. She has many journal publications, including Menstrual and perimenopausal migraine: A narrative review.
Recently Dr. MacGregor wrote an article for The Migraine Trust which I would like to point you to. In the article, she discusses why migraine can be a specific problem during perimenopause, and also how it can be managed. The article is available here: Migraine and perimenopause. There’s a lot of information in a short read.
She also has a previous article on menstrual migraine here: Menstrual migraine
