Have started on the secondary risk drugs and leuprorelin (prostrap) had no issues but my goodness the letrozole hormonal migraine has been the worst pain I have ever experienced. UTI was bubbling so I have started to take probiotics, cranberry extract, cranberry juice (no sugar), Yes Moisturiser and cut out all alcohol and caffeine and seems to have done the trick
my question is how do people manage with the migranes? I have heard swapping brand; meds to prevent migraines; meds to take if you get a migraine and also an alternative to Letrozole itself. Any guidance from this community of personal experiences would be great so I can be informed for the GP!!
