Hi, ladies...

So...last night I got one of those headaches that usually happen before your period- that is, when you actually have one. It is one sided and involves my cheekbone and nose,clogs my nostril. Then it radiates to my forehead. Sometimes it's like a knife to my temple. It starts and stops. It sets my health anxiety into high gear. I know I have a tendancy to think the worst, although I try to talk myself down. They say 99% of what we worry about never happens. Over this year I've had these symptoms: dizziness, tummy troubles, nausea, headaches, absolutely messed up sleep, itchy skin, creepy crawly sensations, knee pain, ankle pain, the tremors, super dry eyes, heel pain, thickening toenails but thinning finger nails, my eyebrows migrated to my top lip,cramps, a period for a month, a rash from wearing pads for that month....on, and on, and etc. They rotate. 2 days ago my doc said I was healthy and we would deal with the extended peri. She suggested cryoablation. I just had hysteroscopy and got a normal biopsy from that. So I am very grateful. Dont want to to tempt fate.

I'm laughing and crying because I'm scared and fed up. Praying this is sinusitis and it goes away. Maybe hormonal AND sinuses... I just heard that this is a bad allergy season here in Chicago....ragweed n pollen count super high.

Thanks for listening....I'm open to any advice for cheering up and not giving in to fear. Hugs to everyone...xoxo

    I have sinus issues too here lately.    I have been using OTC sinus pressure meds alternating with IB Pros, nose spray, tea and oil pulling with coconut oil..  I'm extra sleepy too and took a nap yesterday.   My doctor said that as we age our allergies get worse and offered an allergy pill.

    Yes, I've had those EXACT same headache symptoms! I had a couple of those so bad in the middle of the night, I nearly went to the ER. Instead I got up and took a hot shower and then laid down with a hot pack on the side of my face. I was able to fall asleep again, but wow, it really frightened me. 

    As for the rest of your symptoms-yup. All those too, apart from the rash from wearing a pad.

    Hormones can be our best friends or worst enemies. Hang in there. YOU ARE NOT ALONE smile
