As a migraineur I was led to believe that post menopause & HRT meant Migraine free, I'm still chronic, just not as chronic as I was before HRT & the ovaries ceased production. On the plus side, HRT has helped & I'm down from 25-30 high pain attack days per month to 15-20 medium to low pain days, my cognitive function though is still hit full on as is recall for simple words. This mornings word that escaped me was chisel, I was looking at one but could not name it until a minute ago 🙄 bloody annoying.

My HRT levels are as high as I'm allowed, they have given me a little freedom from frequent high level pain migraine attacks, they don't address the Occipital Neuralgia, arthritis or cramping but I try to navigate life through them & the add on symptoms that are popping up daily 😁

Alice in Wonderland Syndrome, when you feel either really tall, short & the environment seems distorted. I had this as a child pre-puberty & thought it was normal, yes I had bad heads as a child which Mum treated with junior aspirin but it was not associated with AIWS because I didn't say a word, years later it was thought to be associated with RTLE however it eventually was attributed to my migraine attacks. The migraine association to AIWS only became apparent to me after the online support network exploded over a decade ago & we were able to track symptoms of a migraine attack.
