[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 502915, member: 1233"] I would probably think it was both if it was me. Simply because I know that diet sweeteners cause so many headaches. But hormones are also a trigger. THough with hormones you would probably have some history of cycle related headaches/migraines. Given the age and probably perimenopause, you should talk to your doctor about the headaches. There is a LOT than can be done, even if they are cycle related. One of the biggest bonus gifts that I got with my hysterectomy was a huge reduction in migraines. It didn't end them all by a long shot, but it did remove one major trigger. I am NOT saying you should look into that, but there ARE ways that can help with cycle related headaches. Do you like herbal tea? On one of my migraine boards there are a LOT of women who say that certain teas are a big help with stress and headaches. Tension tamer by celestial seasoning is one (I loved it long before I heard of this - even thank you likes it and he drinks it when his asthma acts up because the warmth helps. But it also helps him sleep then.). Tazo has a Calm tea that is also supposed to be really helpful. You can buy it at most Starbucks by the cup and many groceries carry it by the box. Just don't buy a box at Starbucks because it will cost a LOT more than at the grocery. Feverfew is also very helpful. It helps prevent headaches AND it can be a HUGE help wtih pms and perimenopause grumpiness. Be sure to use a medication checker like the one at drugs.com to make sure it won't interfere with any medications you are taking. [/QUOTE]
