Please I really need help . Ever since my last period I have had health issues . I had my normal chronic migraine a few days before I came on , but then it came back during my period . I just finished bleeding and I got a fluey cold which has made me feel rough . I’ve had that a week . Thought I was feeling better , but migraines come back , feeling sick , hot then cold , shaky and anxious , worried as I’ve been ill for over two weeks now . Is there something seriously wrong or are my current feelings to do with this bug . Fed up with feeling so ill

    Could your symptoms be exacerbated by allergies? Are you in a high pollen area? Could make cold symptoms or headaches worse. Sounds like a virus or allergies though.

    I believe that's why my friend went on the bio-creams.  She said the migraines were so bad that life just wasn't worth living.  She still gets them but not as intense or as often.

    Dear Jane

    I never suffered migraines ever until I reached 51 and I had a bout of silent migraines, they stopped only to re appear last year and I have them monthly, I sometimes get a mild head pain but mainly the aura. Menopause certainly can bring migraines on even for people who never suffered with them before. I have been offered beta blockers but at the moment im not taking anything. I had the fluey feeling in peri but it was more like bouts of it coming and going plus chills but they happened seperate to the other symptoms
