Period after stopping prostap

[Fortyoneandcounting]

Just looking for some advice/experiences. I stopped my prostap injections in October, I could not handle the bone pain. My pmdd and most of my endo symptoms went away whilst on the injection. My period came back on Monday, lighter than usual but more brown and thick (tmi, sorry!). I have had less cramping but painful shooting pains in my thighs and buttocks. The two weeks prior to coming back my mood has been terrible (I have been diagnosed with pmdd) to the point were I was spending full days in bed(I have never done that previously). However, I had also been poorly with a virus(not COVID) a couple of weeks ago and thought I was just feeling under par. Anyway, today my period has eased off and almost stopped, however, I have a terrible migraine type headache and feel lightheaded. I just wondered if anyone experienced this sort of thing or I am wondering if I am still unwell with a virus type illness, can anyone help! I feel so depressed right now like I am always poorly and I can’t cope anymore.
