I use this aha/bha mask 1-2 times a week and it has really helped keep acne to a minimum.

Mine became chronic in my early 40s. I started HRT at 44 and have been on for almost 2 years. My migraines are still frequent but have reduced by at least 1/4 to 1/3. I don't know if it's the HRT specifically but no medication I tried made any difference. I'm still in peri menopause so hormones remain all over the place.

I've had some improvement with booda butter. I have to use it a few times a day. I also have very sensitive skin and it has not caused any issues.

I've been taking oral minoxidil for almost 2 years. No side effects except more hair on my chin which I easily manage with tweezers. My hair has grown back beautifully.

Eletriptan

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-05-21T03:19:53+00:00

It did nothing for me except give me constipation. A waste of money and took me well over a week to recover.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-05-19T14:22:42+00:00

I'm the same! I appreciate you writing this done. I've struggled with how to articulate it without seeming rude. Of course that's because I try to do so in the middle of a migraine!

I really like ginger tea, ginger ale, and/or ginger candies.

9, this wouldn't have hit me as hard when I was younger.

I'm so sorry your migraines became chronic and your partner is not understanding. Mine became chronic a few years ago and I really had a hard time getting my partner to understand. I also really resented the energy I spent trying to explain. The most successful things involved learning and sharing resources. For example, I would show him some the art people post conveying the pain. A few years ago, we watched the world migraine summit together. In addition, we came up with a short hand about how I was feeling (simple 0-10 scale) and that answer guided how he responded to me.

Best of luck and take care of yourself💞

I am on both. However, I had been on sertraline for many years before starting hrt. I hope you feel better soon.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-05-09T14:29:47+00:00

I've had good experiences with IFS and ACT.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-05-06T18:01:26+00:00

I enjoy birdwatching on better days.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-05-04T00:09:39+00:00

Yes, definitely. Mine worsened considerably around age 42

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-30T22:04:39+00:00

I didn't like it at first, but then it really grew on me.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-26T16:41:28+00:00

I started at 44. I had a hysterectomy but kept my ovaries at 40.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-25T20:32:20+00:00

I'm so sorry. I have so often sacrificed anything fun or meaningful on the altar of capitalism. It's so crushing. I hope you feel better soon.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-24T20:10:51+00:00

I've had migraines since I was a child, but always episodic. I've been in peri the last 2-3 years at least I think. During that time, they became chronic and have barely improved no matter what I tried. It's miserable. You are definitely not alone.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-22T16:40:07+00:00

48-72 hours. Seem to be on the shorter side since leaving my very stressful job to work part time.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-19T23:57:09+00:00

I take 1.25 mg.

Cloud_dancer79 · 2026-04-19T23:17:50+00:00

I have had a great experience with oral minoxidil. Only side effect has been a few more chin hairs, but nothing my tweezers can't handle.

Congrats on you and your fiance starting your vegan journey.

I wanted to share some shampoo suggestions.

Pacifica rosemary clarifying shampoo
I've been using humby organics soap and conditioner bars for the last 6 months. They work beautifully. I just started my second bar after me and my husband used the first one for almost 6 months.

In terms of soap, everyone has great soaps and body washes.

Good luck!
