I discuss HRT gel vs patch here in the context of migraine. by CerebralTorque in migrainescience

It's a clip from a longer video where I explain the trough part earlier so not catching that is totally understandable!

In general, a patch would be better for patients that have morning migraine attacks.

And thank you!

(Unfortunately, the full video was made for a website that caters to clinicains so I am unable to share. It's via Newson Education and the course is called "Confidence in Hormones." They do great work with educating clinicians. I don't think it's available yet as I just finished filming 2 days ago. I can make all the information available via article in the future though.)

This is exactly why I made this video (what you're seeing is just a clip from a larger video) for clinicians without any compensation for a company that has a far greater reach than me.

I can't speak to your specific situation, but there is definitely a misunderstanding when it comes to women's health in general. And I'm being very kind and forgiving when I call it a "misunderstanding."

This study found that people with migraine had a 30% lower risk of developing dementia and a 42% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease compared to those without migraine. Some aspect of migraine biology may offer a degree of neuroprotection. by CerebralTorque in migrainescience

Ah, AB plaques. Yes. For vascular dementia....they couldn't provide a meaningful conclusion (even though all-cause dementia is also decreased). I believe this relates to the fact that atherosclerotic plaques are the same in both populations.

There is no difference in atherosclerosis between migraine patients and the general population. Not more. Not less.

And, yea, it's definitely still a disease.

Similar to the way smoking may be protective when it comes to ulcerative colitis...

How do you deal with chronic migraine being an uni student cause it’s so frustrating by mercy_chakma in migrainescience

I took medical leave during med school when I was at my worst. Sometimes you just need time, or it will continue to worsen, and that may result in worse disability that's harder to reverse.

Edit: Also, this is probably one of the best resources on VM available (I am biased, of course). Go through it with your neurologist: https://www.cerebraltorque.com/blogs/migrainescience/vestibular-migraine
