Hi. Same as me started with migraine at the age of 16 to about 18 with auras obviously hormonal. I had nothing then until the day after my second child was born with aura but a one off, again hormonal. Pre menopause and throughout I suffered severe headaches no auras and about 5 years post menopause just auras no headache.. The past 3 years I have been getting constant almost daily neck and head migraine which are gradually easing in intensity and frequency.. I am now 63 so surely not hormonal? I have tried almost everything from daily preventatives and Triptans to daith piercing, Accupuncture, massage and now the Chi machine. Hopefully this expensive machine is going to help even more. I did find a difference after the daith piercing but want the damn things to stop altogether. Mine always start at night at the moment so I am losing sleep which isn't a good thing for migraines. Everyone has different symptoms and what helps for one doesn't for the other. I think it's just a matter of trial and error. A lot of people have positive results from Botox. Hope you find your 'cure' good luck.
