I read somewhere that women should not use testosterone gel, yet I see that some women who followed the Migraine Cure used this hormone. Whats the story?
First let me say that testosterone is safe for women if they take it as prescribed by a knowledgeable health-care professional. That means that before anyone-female or male–takes any hormones, they should have their hormone levels evaluated. Testosterone is one of the hormones that needs to be in balance to eliminate migraine, and we recommend it only if a woman needs to restore her levels to be in balance with her other hormones. Every woman who follows the Migraine Cure program does not need to supplement with testosterone, and those who do often need to use it for only a short time. Individually compounded, low-dose testosterone supplements are available in gel as well as a transdermal patch, capsule, and tablets. I recommend the gel because a compounding pharmacist can create the exact formula for a patient’s needs, and it is easy to use.
