Title: Migraines
Post by: Emerson on March 02, 2014, 11:25:06 AM
I have read that t can increase the frequency and severity of migraines. Does anyone have migraines? Did t affect them?

I have pretty severe migraines and already take a daily medication for them. I will start t very soon (appointment is Wednesday!) and I am a little worried.

I have migraines. T hasn't had much of an effect on mine aside from maybe lessening them. It probably depends on what causes them though. For example, I still get dehydration ones if I'm not careful, but I haven't gotten the hormone-related ones.

I have very severe migraines as well that are non responsive to prevention medications. So I either suffer through them in a dark room with zero stimuli and ice or take tranquilizers. The only thing I have noticed is that after starting T and being on the full dose and correct interval my migraines are actually less severe and happen less frequently.
