Canine distemper virus

[Nikilll]

HelloI'm 29 years unmarried. I have endo from 12 age and 5 years ago 9cm chocolate cyst removed during lap.last 5 years I'm using birth control pills for my heavy mensuration. Ethinyl estradiol and dienogest combination this was suitable for me last 2 and half years. Now my problem is last 4 days I have headache not in foreheads. I touched my scalp in my back side some inflammation and I feel lite pain during touch. I have pets (dogs) one was affected Canine distemper virus so I'm very panic this was affected me?. OR this was any birth control side-effects OR hormone imbalance?. OR last 2 months I have depression. Please answer me

Thank you

Hi! To the best of my knowledge humans cannot catch Canine Distemper so that should not affect you. I am sorry to read about your dog though, I hope they will be okay. I would strongly suggest you speak to your doctor / GP about the headache and inflammation. They are much better able to help answer that question for you. I do hope you get some answers and some relief soon.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your pain and also regarding your dog. I am a veterinarian. Distemper is not considered a risk to humans ( is closely related to the measles virus but not the same). It can affect other species including some wildlife. Please read this link below (I also have found a research paper but very long if you want it let me know).

Please contact your gp re your symptoms to try and figure out the cause and hopefully for some treatment. I did in the past have some headaches on dienogest but this was when I first started it and was fine after ( had seen you've been on it some time already). I get tension headaches possibly worse with endo pain ( possibly from stress too)but normally quiet briefly and respond to meds. See your gp since its been going on for a some time and especially since you said it seems inflammed and painful when you are touched etc .

It sounds like you have a migraine, the sensitivity you feel when you touch your head is a specific type of migraine, I suffer with them myself. My scalp hurts and the lightest touch is painful. Possibly the birth control has brought this on. It might be worth speaking to your GP about an alternative

Hello.

So sorry you’re suffering so much. I have stage 4 Endo and Diegonist gave me the most terrible migraines, I’d never had migraines before this.

Also diegonist did nothing/ very little to prevent the progression of diesease unfortunately it just masked some symptoms.

Best wishes to you, I hope you find some relief soon.
