Hi , I was on prostap for 18minths first 6 months I was fine but got swollen belly change my diet no gluten no dairy . After 6 months the headaches started. Unfortunately that is the side effect of the drug . I am 6 weeks post OP from total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis. Now I am dealing with the menopause. Now on Tibolone HRT. So think I will always be on medications for rest my life. Good luck hope not on prostap for to long . Have read up on side effects of prostap?

Why are on the prostap if you have had a hysterectomy? I definitely come off them . Have tried changing your diet ? I am gluten free , dairy free, drinking loads of water and I take vitamins magnesium and vitb12. All take various other vitamins. Do you go on Instagram? Great person to follow is divinataylor and megmathews she great ideas for eating. Also podcasts are great to listen too .Changed my eating and my health has improved. Keep 💪
