Drug Treatment Centers in Oakland

Question by Chenanagan: Menopause issues, HELP!?
I had a hysterectomy at age 32 and have 1 ovary. I have my hormone levels tested several times a year and I am always within proper levels. The past month I am getting hot flashes all the time, I can’t sleep and my migraines I have had for 24 years have seemed to worsen and none of the prescription medication works. I cannot take hormone treatments as they trigger migraines for me. I must be starting menopause. What can’t I get answers to the headache pain that is daily and never goes away? And not being able to sleep even with sleep aid? Since I have not had a menstrual cycle in 16 years, I will be 48 this February 2012, I can’t say it’s due to my cycle. I have to see a doctor but don’t really want more drugs, black cohosh did not work, I need help. The hot flashes make me hot from head to toe, so I fan myself, go to the door and open up for the cooler air or throw my covers off at night. I usually answer questions, this will be a first for me but I appreciate all advice and what to do. I am more grumpy but not much, at least yet. Ha ha. This head pain though is something that I can’t live with and don’t want harder drugs than I already use for migraines! Love to all who can help me!    Read more...
