Prior to 2010 when I was first diagnosed, I had migraines.  But, for the past few years I just had a couple of them.  I went off Letrozole 17th September, 2014, and Warfarin a week later.  For the past two weeks, I have been having both aural migraines, and migraines with aura.  My dr. is out of town and won't be back until 10th November!  Could this be happening because my estrogen is rizing???  Should I try to find another dr. to help me rather than wait around?

    Maybe. I've had migraines for years. Each month, every month during my period-no other time of the month. My gyno told me many women do and there was a good chance they'd stop when I go thru menopause.. I've had no period since July and no monthly migraine for the first time in 15 years! Some migraines definitely have a hormonal component.

    Thanks, labelle!  I guess I am worried that even though I went through chemopause 3.5 years ago maybe my estrogen is rizing again because I just stopped taking letrozole (femara).  Also, it could be because of the extreme humidity where I live.  But, very strange that this is happening to me again after so many years!!!
