Migraine Patterns Change with Age
For many people, the onset of migraines begins around the time of puberty, and
the frequency of occurrence adheres to a rather predictable pattern throughout
a person's life. Others may not be affected by migraines until they are in their
twenties; still others may not start having migraines until past the age of 40.
Women have additional conditions that can initiate the onset and progression
of migraines, including menstrual cycles, taking birth control pills, post-pregnancy,
and post-hysterectomy. Migraine patterns in both men and women can also be affected
by adding hormones (HRT) to their bodies as the added hormones tend to change
the natural balance and rhythms of life.
The age of a person is one of the major factors affecting migraines. As mentioned
earlier most migraines start at the age of puberty, become rather predictable
between the ages of 20 to 35, and then sometime around the age of 40 (give or
take a few years) worsen in intensity, duration, and frequency regardless of
sex or earlier life patterns. As this progression continues, the pattern may
transform into one of chronic daily migraines. Migraines generally subside once
a person has reached full menopause or what many refer to as "having gone
through menopause."
Tuliv Migraine Research may have been one of the first to identify the relationship
between the secretions from the pituitary gland and the occurrences of migraines
in both episodic migraines and major pattern shifts. The pituitary gland controls
the onset of puberty, monthly menstrual cycles, pregnancy, sexual functions,
and eventually perimenopause and menopause stages of life. The secretions from
this gland control the production of certain types of hormones that cause a reaction
that ultimately produces a chemical called CGRP that has been linked to the initiation
a migraine attack.
It was this discovery of the relationship between the pituitary gland and
the production of CGRP that was the premises that led to the development of the first migraine prevention formula that addresses
the natural cause of migraines - Tuliv Migraine Defense. (See update on how drug companies are now working to match Migraine Defense)
It is important to note here that there is no evidence of anything being wrong
with the pituitary gland that would cause a migraine; rather, we are simply saying
that there is a relationship between the secretions from the pituitary gland
and the occurrence of migraines. By studying the role of the glands of the endocrine
system in relationship to the occurrence of migraines, it appears that many of
the mysteries of migraines can be solved.
