Hi All. things calmed down for half a year or so after the last multi week bleed; ; but now with all teh symptoms of an incipient bleed, nothing is happening and there's only a headache that is like migraines that wont go (on one side, keeps coming back after getting better after Immitrex; one 3 day short dose of prednisone - total 120 mg helped, but had a bit of wine the last day and the headache was back (wine slipped into a punch , I didnt realise it was there.)
And hot and cold sweats as well. All in the midst of very high work stress. Ive soem small fibroids but nothing else showed up on a required scan. 1) does anyone have any advice re prednisone and this time of life 2 ) any advice for dealing with the headaches 3) and how about stress!? thanks W Posted on 06/16/12, 12:09 am |

I get headaches too. They are migraine like, but not quite. When I get them, I can't take anything because it just comes back up. It also doesn't help because I'm hypoglycemic, and when I get the headaches I can't eat, so the headaches last 2 days.
My Dr's won't give me anything because I was on the pill, and starting menopause at the same time, so they want to see where my hormone levels are in 6 months to determine if I need anything. I also had a bad drug reaction a year ago after an accident, and everything I was taking just made a mess out of me, so they are reluctant to prescribe too much, and now I research what they prescribe. I don't know how much sleep you get. I wasn't getting much, which aggrivated the headaches. My friends thinks it's strange, but my Dr. told me to have a glass of red wine and melatonin before sleeping, it works, and the headaches are less. Stress wise, it's almost 2 yrs since my divorce, I have a daughter who won't talk to me, and a son who tolerates me because I found love again, and feels bad for my ex because he has no one. My ex won't speak to me, only e-mails, but he lives a block away, we see each other almost every day, and the emotions peak each time. I also have my boyfriend commenting on everything. These boards ground me, also my friends. I hope you find your answers.

Hi! This is Buntea,
Just relax and take a deep breath (as in yoga) every time you see your ex. I am in a similar situation back in India. I am going through menopause and since i started having hot flashes got on the net and found this site. Today's my first comment and i would like to share with you a remedy. I too suffer from allergies from medicines to foods (eggs, pulses, meats, soft drinks some fruits and alcohol. I would get hives all over my body, vomit and sometimes had to be rushed to hospital as i was gasping for breath as my body internally and externally would swell ...until i was given steroids and put on oxygen. I tried everything from homeopathy to ayurvedic . Finally, one medicine or tonic called SAFI in INDiA which is a blood cleanser cured me. I had a tbl spoon every night for 6 months. Now i can eat anything. I hope you will find this medicine in your country. It has no side effects and even teenagers can have it as it is very good for acne. wish you all the best and hope to hear from you. Love and big Hugs
