hi everyone me again this new thing has popped up to go along with all the other 66 symptoms of menopause occipital neuralgia and it is so painful. my back neck and head are in constant pain and seemingly its caused by tense muscles. once again foe the millionth time my dr has prescribed antidepressants for this which i have been refusing for years as i cant take hrt. im sick of being sick it never ends. how in the world can having no hormones cause all these health problems.

      in my late 20s (39 now) I heard one of my coworkers talk about ovarian rejuvenation, she was in her early 40s at that time. She was Korean, for them it's part of a rituals you'd even say once women enter the perimenopause phase to do all kind of healing and rejuvenation of female reproductive organs with herbs and natural remedies. I didn't take anything seriously and honestly might have dismissed the concerns of peri symptoms. of course I was young and immune to all the health problems but today I know exactly what she was talking about. Thank you for bringing up ovarian rejuvenation. I am going to look into that.

    hi sandra - i know you are probably in pain & the last thing you probably feel like doing is exercising, but i have had so many aches & pains & i started a restorative yoga (very gentle/meditative) & it really has helped to relieve the constant inflammation that i feel in all my joints & muscles. 3 months ago i woke up & i felt like i was 90, just overnight - do try the yoga or a gentle water movement class (many senior centers offer it) that has also helped me - feel better

    Hi sandra. I have had this before. However, I had it before peri too. It was one of the most painful things I have ever experienced. Muscle relaxers generally help me. Last time it took longer though. I did some research after that because I swore I would never go through it that long again. My plan was to go see a neurologist so I would be an established patient so that the next time it hit I would be able to go in for a trigger point injection that would numb it.
