When menopause comes up, everyone says the same thing: HRT. For me, that door is closed. And at the same time the migraines got worse – more days in a dark room with the curtains drawn, losing whole afternoons.

Two problems feeding each other, and the standard answer for one of them isn't open to me.

I have a drawer full of half-used boxes. Every new one came with hope, and every one ended the same way.

At some point I stopped waiting for the right pill and looked for something that isn't a pill at all – no hormones, nothing to swallow, nothing to check against what I already take.

Two separate ways of helping, working at the same time, and neither needs me to do anything.

It's not something I take when it's already bad. It's on me all the time – at the kitchen table, on the sofa in the evening, in bed.

Polished stainless steel in gold, rose gold, silver or black, adjustable to my finger. Nobody can tell I'm wearing it for a reason.

That's all I was asking for: days with the curtains open, a book and a cup of tea, and a head that stays quiet.

And if it hadn't helped, I had 90 days to send it back. Every Magneva ring comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee – wear it every day for 90 days, and if your days don't feel quieter, you get every cent back.
