Headaches

Hi everyone. I suffered headaches from the Gonapeptyl and now suffering from the Menopur. Really don't like the idea of taking paracetamol daily plus they are not really working. Did anyone else suffer. Is there any natural remedies that people can recommend? Thanks

You can try forehead stick or tiger balm for your headaches, not quite sure if it will help but may ease a little. I generally found lying in a bath with my head under the water helped, obviously with my nose sticking out so I could breathe! If mine were really bad I just had to go with codeine or cocodimol as I would normally have taken nurofen and thats defo not allowed and paracetamol didnt touch mine. Hope you get some relief soon.xx

Thank you. I will try the TigerBalm. I just wasn't sure if it was safe to use as i don't know enough about it. I will definitely be trying the bath idea too.

Thanks again

Hi Tina. Try drinking extra water too. The drugs are messing with your pituitary gland in your brain. See if your GP can prescribe you something. If it should be codeine based, be careful you don’t get constipated. Hope you get sorted. Diane

Thanks Diane. Will try upping water intake. X

Hahahaha just typed my message and then saw yours. Great minds!

Hey Tina I would recommend drinking lots and lots of water as the drugs dehydrate your body. I found if I hadn’t drunk enough water by say noon my head ache was out of control! 2-3 litres a day is ideal

Hope you feel better soon xxx

Hi, sorry a bit late with the response on this one. I had v bad headaches and didn’t want to take medication either. I drink a lot of water anyway but drank even more whilst on the meds. I also got a lot more sleep than normal which definitely helped with the process in general x

Hi all. So i too always drink about 3 ltrs of water a day but i have upped it to 4/5. Always on the loo. I have 4head which helps to ease it but doesn't get rid. Paracetamol not working. I am really tired all the time so have started taking paracetamol and using 4head before a nap after work. Not the best time to sleep but it helps. Not sure what else to try.
