My migraines for 30+ yrs were hormonally related, though it was discounted for years because they were not at the beginning of my period but rather exactly 2 days after it was over. I went on every med manufactured, and received some relief, but it always wore off over time. It wasn't until a doctor that approaches his therapies outside of the mainstream therapies suggested magnesium, I finally found relief. I have not had a migraine in 6 yrs.
My daughters seizures, tended to also be hormonal too. Not all, but I think that had to do with which medication she was taking at the time. Her very first one was on the day she started her period, and many others were similar. We went the bioidentical hormone therapy because she was tested and she wasn't producing this hormone. Her estrogen was dominant. She had at the age of 14 severe spider veins on the inside of her thighs. I was told that was "normal" for some women. I did personal research and found out it was a symptom of high estrogen. Estrogen excites the brain. Progesterone calms the brain. Once Rebecca began using the progesterone, the spider veins disappeared.
It wasn't however until we eliminated prescription drugs (these caused seizures for Rebecca) and made major changes in her nutrition, that she has began to get relief. She has recently not had a seizure in 9 months and eight months prior to the last one. Her blood sugar is wonky, and it is my research on insulin and how it effects hormones that has helped her to raise her seizure threshold. Making sure the liver is eliminating toxins, improving bowel movements etc that is healing her system from the inside out. I had no clue how her eczema could be related to all of it, how the sinus issues, the constant clearing of her throat, etc... they all were clues. However when treated individually they were just a nuisance. They have all cleared up as the body has been viewed as a unique system, not individual parts.
