Prostap headaches

Does anyone have experience of bad headaches on prostap. I've been given prostap to shit off cycles while I wsit for my hystetectomy.i wasn't able to cope any longer with pelvic and back pain. My back has eased within a week, but the headaches are horrible. I'm trying to alleviate with oestrogen patches but hasn't worked yet. Really scared that this is what's facing me post-hysterectomy. Does prostap mimic your body's reaction in menopause?

I had headaches for the first couple of injections, I don't get them any more. Just hot flushes and night sweats, but compared to the end pain it's a breeze .

I'm 46 and surgeon is open to leaving one ovary if I choose. It's just that my ovulation period has become intolerable so trying to make an informed decision ( devil or deep blue sea it seems!) before June.

Hi I hope you don't mind me asking but you seem to really no your stuff, I had endo lasered 10 years ago and again in January this year, but now i have adeno as well, I had mirena coil put in at laser in January for it, but it's been hell ever since, I've really tried to persist with it for 3 months as he suggested but I can't take it anymore and have an appt on 24th. Did you have adeno too? I'm basically scared of what the outcome is, it seems if this doesn't work the only real cause of action is a hysterectomy? I'm 32 and am scared of this but at the same time I can't live like this.ni have a 6 year old daughter and even though I'd be gutted I can't have any more I need to be a mum to the one I have got, I feel useless enough as it is not being able to carry out intimate wife duties! I want to at least feel well enough to not be snappy and be a good mum to my little girl. My back pain makes me feel sick, it feels like I'm carrying a brick around with me all the time, I look 7 months pregnant before my period and I have pain every day, I take naproxen and cocodomol every day, the week before my period and the week on are actually horrific I have labour contractions and my pain is cranked right up, my mood lows and I feel like I couldn't care less if I crashed my car on the way to work, being at work is so hard and I come home and go to bed and sleep for 12 hrs at a time. Sorry if tmi just trying to give you a little insight to see if you can offer any advice? Would pros tap benefit me do you think? Any advice ? Thank you, claire
