Zoladex...constant headache

[Kirstiexxx]

Hello everyone,

For about 5 days now I've had a constant headache and often feel sick with it, and can turn into a migraine it's been 3 weeks since my first injection, did anyone else suffer with headaches like this? I've tried migraleve and naproxen but nothing's getting rid of it

Thank you xxx

Hi I was like that after my first one and would get bad headaches for a couple of days after each injection. I did find with each one they didn't last as long by the time I had my sixth and last one no headache at all.ps if you get any hot flushes try evening primrose oil and sage leaf tablets, one of each twice a day. I found it really helped.

That's reassuring to know it gets easier I have evening primrose oil will get some sage leaf ones too.

Thank you

I havent but some women have lots of side effects in luding weight gain. Any drug that goes into our bodys can have side effects. You'll only know when you stop! Good luck!

I suffered with terrible headaches for the first week after first injection still had them for a few days after each injection after that but they weren't as bad. I found cuprofen and the 4head stuff you can get from chemist helped

Hi ladies.. I feel for you with headaches/migraine they make you feel so poorly. I'm due my first zoladex injection tomorrow & I'm so scared - not only do I have needle phobia but I'm terrified of the side effects! I was diagnosed endo over 10 years ago & was diagnosed last week with andenomyosis too. Having my 3rd lap in 9 weeks so keep feeling anxious! I keep looking on here for ladies having zoladex to see what I may be facing & from the sounds of what your going through its not going to be great! 😳

Me too Carly, I get mine in Thursday and I am hearing more negatives than positives. But for me I think it's my only option 😢 good luck

[Carly05 in reply to Sam341]

That's what I keep seeing too!!! I keep trying to see any positives but my gyne thinks he may have to do hysterectomy & wants to see how bad I am first.. So zoladex is my last chance too. I'll let you know how I get on today! Good luck hun xx

Hi Sam341, I had the jab.. Not as bad as I thought it would be! Feeling a bit unwell tonight though but not sure if that's just my period or not. Every twinge I'm thinking is it the injection 😖.. I suppose I'll just have to see how it affects me. I'm more worried about low mood as I've suffered depression on & off for years & hope it doesn't make it worse. Anyway good luck for Thurs I'm sure you will be fine 😊 xx

Thank you for the update. That is so kind. Fingers crossed for us both. X

If the headaches persist tell them when you have your next injection they can put you on a low dose of hrt. You may also need hrt if your mood drops really low, something they never told me could happen felt like I was going crazy ( no previous history of depression) hrt started working within a couple of days. Started them after 3rd Injection and it was the best I had ever felt no endo pain, no periods,no bloating and I lost 1.5 stone I felt like a new woman such a shame it's only short term.

good luck I hope it works for you
