TribElle

Ever wondered what's actually happening in your brain during a migraine? 🧠

It starts with something called cortical spreading depression - a wave of electrical activity that moves slowly across the brain. This wave triggers inflammation around the trigeminal nerve, which is what causes that intense, throbbing pain.

It's not tension. It's not stress "getting to you." It's a complex neurological event - and understanding that changes how we treat it. Which is exactly why migraines deserve proper treatment, not just the nearest painkiller.

Women are three times more likely to experience migraines than men. And there's a biological reason for that 🧠

Oestrogen affects the brain's pain processing pathways - making them more sensitive to the triggers that set off a migraine. When oestrogen fluctuates (before your period, during perimenopause, after giving birth) the risk of an attack goes up.

Most people know about the headache. Not everyone knows about the three stages that surround it 🧠

A migraine attack actually has four phases - and recognising all of them can help you manage attacks better, spot them earlier, and understand what your body is going through. Swipe through for the full breakdown

👉 Save this one - it's worth coming back to when you're trying to explain to someone what a migraine actually feels like.

If your migraines always seem to hit around your period - that is not a coincidence 🧠

Oestrogen levels drop sharply in the days before your period. For many women, that drop is enough to trigger a migraine attack. It's called a menstrual migraine - and it's one of the most common (and most under-recognised) patterns in women's health.

What that might look like:
→ Migraines arriving 1–2 days before your period
→ Attacks that feel more severe than usual
→ Migraines that improve after menopause (because oestrogen stabilises)

The good news? Once you recognise the pattern, there are options.

From prescription treatments to lifestyle changes that can reduce frequency and severity. We've written about this in detail on TribeReads - link in bio 📖 → https://hubs.li/Q04lm16X0

The updated SIGN migraine guidelines landed this year - and one of the most practical things they recommend is something you can start today: keeping a migraine diary 📓

Not because it's fun (it's not), but because patterns are genuinely hard to spot in the moment. Stress, sleep, hormones, screens, dehydration - these all stack.

Tracking them helps you and your clinician figure out where your attacks are actually coming from.
