Q: Estrogen levels can affect migraines during menopause. Changing the estrogen levels, either increasing or decreasing depending on your individual situation, may help.  For some short-term relief, women can undergo Hormone Replacement Therapy. Raising estrogen levels for a short period of time might help reduce migraines. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of HRT for your migraines.  Sometimes, migraines might occur after you begin estrogen therapy. Talk to your doctor if these migraines occur after starting estrogen. You doctor can reduce the dosage, take you off it completely, or change your prescription. One way to treat migraines is to take over-the-counter pain relievers. You can do this without visiting a doctor. Popular options are NSAIDS, like Aleve and Excedrin Migraine. Overuse of these medications, like using them daily, may eventually make your headaches worse. These are medications your doctor can prescribe to help migraines. These medications not only help with pain, but also side effects, like nausea and sensitivity. There are medications that treat migraines and prevent them. Talk to your doctor about what treatment may be right for you.  Examples of medications to help migraines include Maxalt, Frova, Axert, Zomig, Relpax, and others.  These are Triptans and they are used for abortive therapy.  Sometimes they come in an injection form and are injected at the first sign of a migraine.  These can be used in conjunction with NSAIDS for systematic relief. If your migraines are severe, your doctor may also prescribe prophylactic drugs, such as Inderal and Topamax, that you take daily to prevent headaches. However, keep in mind that Topamax can cause some serious side effects, such as vision changes, cognitive changes, or kidney stones. Discuss all of the potential side effects of this drug with your doctor before deciding to try it. Beta Blockers are also approved for the treatment of migraines and these include metoprolol, propranolol, timolol. It is not recommended to use beta blockers if you are over 60 years old or if you are a smoker. Other medications that need further research in their effects on migraines include SERMS and GnRH agonists.  A few studies have shown a reduction of migraines after treatment with these medications. Depression may be an issue in menopause as well and treatment with a tricyclic antidepressant, amitriptyline, has been shown to improve symptoms of migraines. Consider asking your doctor about antidepressants if you are also having symptoms of depression. Other medicines that may be helpful for migraines include botulinum toxin, Butterbur, Coenzyme Q10, feverfew, magnesium, NSAIDS, Riboflavin, and simvastatin plus vitamin D.  Discuss all of your options with your doctor to determine what will work best for you.
A: Adjust your estrogen supplement. Take pain relievers. Take a prescription medication.

Q: Many people with martyr syndrome feel overwhelmed or victimized because they both take on too much and expect a lot from those around them. Ask yourself what you expect from yourself and examine whether this is realistic.  What you expect of yourself is often the same as what you expect from others. Adjust your expectations to a more reasonable level. This will improve both your relationship with yourself and others. Accept not everything will turn out the way you wanted. If you expected yourself to complete a certain amount of work within the day, do not beat yourself up if you miss the mark. Instead, appreciate what you did get done. Appreciate others for what they do, even if they don't meet your exact expectations. For example, say your spouse brings home the wrong brand of toothpaste from the store. Instead of getting angry, be appreciative that you have toothpaste at all and this is one less thing for you to do. Rather than running yourself ragged all the time, spend time with others. This will help you learn to appreciate people in and of themselves, regardless of whether they meet your expectations. Strive for small relaxing interactions, such as chatting over lunch, as well as taking a day off to unwind with friends and family members.  Keep in mind that not everyone is good company. If certain family members or classmates make you feel bad about yourself, don't spend time with them. Focus on spending time with people who make you feel happy and relaxed. Avoid people who drain too much of your energy, as interactions with them may leave you tired. People with martyr complex may convince themselves they cannot ask for help. If you feel the inclination to ask someone for help, you may find yourself making excuses as to stop yourself from reaching out. For example, you may convince yourself that person is too busy or that you don't want to burden them. Remember everyone needs help sometimes and there's no shame in reaching out. The worst that can happen is that someone will say "No." Even if someone is unable to help, they probably will not think less of you for having to ask for help. Almost everyone has needed to reach out to others for help at some point. Every time you say yes when you mean no, you're sabotaging yourself. You can learn to politely and respectfully decline to do what people ask you do. Before you agree to someone's request, ask yourself some questions. Ask yourself if you truly have time. Commitment should make you feel good about yourself and not bitter and overwhelmed.  You can say "no" without ever actually saying "no." For example, you can say, "Sorry, I can't commit to that right now" or "I already have plans." Think about the commitments that really make you happy and prioritize them over things that drain you. Say "Yes" that things that will make you feel personally fulfilled and pass on other commitments. Even if it's something small, doing something for yourself every day can help you feel like less of martyr. Find ways to give yourself a small treat. For example, take half an hour before bed every night to unwind with a book.  Make it a ritual or a habit, such as spending an extra 5 minutes in the shower, relaxing, or meditating in the morning. Consider treating yourself to something bigger once every week or so, such as a manicure or bubble bath.
A: Lower your standards. Focus on spending quality time with others. Seek help from others. Learn to set effective boundaries. Do something for yourself every day.

Q: After having a full friendship meter and leveling during the day, Eevee will evolve into Espeon.  You can achieve this by battling with your Eevee on the team (without it fainting), keeping your Eevee on the team, giving it berries and protein, as well as giving it haircuts and taking it to the National Park. You can get a general idea of your Eevee's happiness by talking to the woman in Goldenrod City. You can find her north of the Bike Shop and on the east side of town. If she says, "It looks really happy! It must love you a lot," your Eevee is ready to level and evolve. Only interact with your Eevee between 4:00 AM and 8:00 PM, as any time outside of that means your Eevee will evolve into an Umbreon. After your Eevee has a high friendship level, you will want to battle with your Eevee for it to level at least once. After leveling in the daytime (4:00 AM - 8:00 PM), Eevee will evolve into Espeon.
A:
Get a high friendship with your Eevee. Level your Eevee between 4:00 AM and 8:00 PM.
