zoladex headaches

[99anon]

After suffering with endo for several years I have now had the zoladex injection. I’m due for my next month one on Tuesday but so far my experience hasn’t been great. First week severe stomach pain and bloating which eased and then an awful period. That went and I’m now left with horrendous headaches. For almost a week now I’ve been unable to get up and when I do I’m managing a half a day before the migriane returns. Have strong migraine medication anyway as suffer with bad migraines. I wondered if anyone else had similar symptoms and if I should continue with the next injection?

hi, I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. I can’t comment on the injections, but I get constant headaches I think because of the endo. I’ve had one big continuous headache it seems for 15 years. Not sure how much longer I can go on like this, or rather, how to go on like this. I feel for you with the headaches x

Hello,I've just started zoladex and due My second injection next week.

I agree the headaches are awful, I'm putting myself to bed at around 8 because it hurts to keep my eyes open.

From what I've heard it's best to give it at least 3 weeks for your body to adjust, and for it to start doing what it should.

So I would try and persevere with another one. Have you spoken to the docs and explained its made your migraines worst? They might be able to up your meds ?

Thanks for the reply - have managed nearly a whole day out of bed today so hopefully I’m starting to improve. The doctors want to try one more month and have next jab tomorrow so let’s see how it goes! Hope your head starts to improve soon also!
