not been feeling well since Saturday!, started with a migrane which woke me up, took a Sumertription straight away, which did ease throught the day, which then my bony started to ache all over (like I had ran the marathon my body literally ached all over! This proceeded right through Sunday and this morning felt 100% worse?!.
not only my whole body ached another full blown migrane , neck ache and through the day I felt weak to the point I was going to pass out like going black and like a sinking in water feeling?.
i don't know if the HRT I'm on is not working for me? If I've picked a virus up? I've no idea?
shold I be concened at how I'm feeling? I feel a little silly going to see my GP !, has this happened to you?. Any advice of anyone?.
Not sure if this helps but just reading your post it's like I wrote it myself. I am not on HRT, going through peri and still having periods. However, I woke up on Thursday evening with a migraine followed by two days of nausea, vomiting and an unreal tiredness and light-headedness. Migraine went off and came back, accross back of the head and top of neck. From what I've found out it seems like it could be stomach flu. It's going round in the UK. Feel better soon x
I am having a rough time myself. These few days I have been tired again. I started birth control pills about a week ago. My period went on for about 7 days this time. It is usually 3-4. Anyway, today my body aches and my pinkie toes went numb again out of nowhere. The symptoms come at such random times that I never know what causes them. The season is such that body aches and migrane could easily be a virus. I know my numbness does not come from a virus. but bone and body aches... give it a few days, drink lots of fluids and rest. Could just be a virus.
Omg!!! How long does this have to continue??? I too woke up at 3 am Saturday morning with migraine! And if that wasn't bad enough, I fell asleep on the couch for like 5 minutes when chest pain woke me up, just to get another aura before another migraine, went to ER where thank God everything was fine, but honestly have felt like crap now for the past 3 days! Oh and did I mention the ear ringing, neck aching, hand tingling and arm pain??? Please dear God give us relief from this crap!! Sorry for the rant, but I am sooo feeling your pain right now!
Please keep ranting for me too. I want to rant but no energy to do so tonight. My pinkies numb again today. Body aches and sleepy! Anxiety rockets 🚀!
Tension headaches and migraines have very similar symptoms. Tension headaches dont cause any visual sid effects like aura or physical side effects. Sinus headachs are moderately pianful and can be treated with sinus treatments or allergy medications
I'm in same boat but I haven't started any hrt as I want to see if I can do without it , night sweats are reall bad at min and the migraine headaches were so bad the doctor put me on beta blockers and thankfully they have helped , has anyone got any ideas of what to try other than hrt?
I started birth control a week ago. The doc said at 35 and regular periods this is what I need to try. I resisted but have given up I don't know what else to try. I thought to give it a chance.
There seem to be lifestyle changes that help some women. Sugar free diet, excersise, vitamins. My symptoms are so broad and appear and dissapear so randomely, I have never been able to point a finger at what makes it worse or better. Sorry for long post
I had a hysterectomy nearly four years ago because of very painful periods it was the best thing I ever done , can't sleep at night with the sweats and during the day I'm constantly having hot flushes 😬 , joints are always sore and constant ringing in the ears 😳Oh it's great being a woman 😂. Do you think the birth control will help your headaches? ,x
Hi Elaine. I found super strength sage stopped the night sweats, passionflower helps anxiety and sleeping, and meno serene womens multi vit helps with all meno symptoms.
migranes, headaches, body aching blah blah blah, etc etc, so many symptoms we have to go through.
Today I woke up fine BUT around 10am:
my headache returned, back started to ache to the point I'm currently sitting with a hot water bottle on my back!!!!!!
i don't think this is a virus?.
im thinking that the HRT I'm currently on is NOT agreeing with me?
this is the second different brand I'm trying!!!! That to set off bad heads and migranes BUT nothing like what I'm experiencing at the moment, I know I'm not stressing about anything, just been really off since Friday?
ive tried Nurophen plus for my back but the bad heads / migranes, aching body it's just the pits!!!!
Hi Shelly. its difficult when you feel like crap most of the time, to distinguish when you have just "picked up a bug"!!! for the past couple of days I've had upset/unsettled tum/bowels plus awful period type pain lower down, & constant light headedness/dizzyness. i have chronic bowel problems anyway, & am also on hrt which has been controlling my bouts of lightheadedness i was experiencing before the hrt. so i honestly think I've got a bug/virus as its all been constant last few day not intermittent, & i have just started bleeding again yesterday!! but it does get hard to work out if other things are hormone related or just common bugs/virus's doing the rounds. i still feel unsettled tummy today & lightheaded to point of not being able to drive, so think it must be a bug. probably the same for you hun...x
I too have been feeling the stiff neck & migraines on/off for the past week- I am peri menopause (still getting periods) I am not taking any form of HRT so I don't think the symptoms have anything to do with (side effects)-
I was dealing with nausea as my biggest symptom (just when it was becoming manageable) now the migraines, and over all sick feeling w/low anxiety (ugggggggh!)
I have my family on board for support and have enlisted the moral support of sister-friends, and of course on really hard days when I'm struggling I come to the forum for xtra support! (thank you all) ;-) ;-)
I am trying the royal jelly (3 tablets daily) & the ginseng every other day to see if it helps with the fatigue, anxiety, and fogging brain (just started this week so I will keep you all posted to see if any of the symptoms are relieved) I really don't want to bother with any of the risk that can be associated with HRT so I'm trying to survive this horror stage as natural as possible-
Please fell better to you all and if you find something that works keep us informed (huggz)
hi shelly. Just saw this post now and wondering how you are now? I was so ill the last 5 days with EXACTLY the same symptoms as you. Migraine that kept coming back, neck ache, awful tiredness and dizziness and the list goes on... I stuck it out and eventually went to doctor and it is a virus. Plenty of rest now and lots of water and ibuprofen. It's so hard to know if it is symptoms of menopause or something else and we wait it out.... So wondering if it has eased for you, I doubt the HRT is causing this for you.
