Headaches

Posted , 6 users are following.

I've gone almost 10 months of missing my period, I'm getting closer to menopause but the closer I get I've been having headaches . The headaches are so do unbearable , I usually get them around period and ovulation time if I was still having a period. The whole head seem to hurt especially in the sinus area and around the back of head. Along with the headaches I am so weak. I thought I would be feeling better since I'm getting closer to menopause but I feel so depleted of hormones and so aged. Does anyone tell me why I'm having these headaches? I've never had headaches before until the past few months.

    I am 45 (peri) and started getting migraines at the start of my period around 37/38. I had my first migraine aura at 43. The migraines are incapacitating. I often lie in bed for 24 hours with ice packs around my head and back of neck. Absolutely, tortuous. i have a period every 21 days, so it really adds up. It is easy to blow through 10 allotted sick days. xo
