I don't know if this could be related to menopause or not. I am not
normally prone to headaches at all. I did get migraines when I was on any
and all GERD meds. That was the start of those. And then they continued
after I was off of the meds but were for sure related to my cycle. Although
I didn't always get them, if I did get them, they came at the start of my
period. But I haven't had a period or a migraine since last May.
A couple of weeks ago, there was something going around where people who had
it said they felt like they were starting to come down with a headache. And
I had the same thing. I would get this little off and on pain above my
right eyebrow. Nothing bad but a tad annoying. Also a bit of a sore
throat. And the others seemed to have this too. But... We were also
having freezing fog and very poor air quality. I chocked it up to that.
But... The air is good now but that weird almost headache has come back.
Again, it is off and on. And at the same time I feel like the back of my
neck on the right side is tense, stiff and swollen. I can rub the muscles
on the left side of my neck with no problems. But I don't need to. Ha!
Because there is no pain there. But I can't reach the stiff part at the
right side of my neck because it also seems that there is some sort of
shoulder or arm thing going on that is preventing me from the full range of
motion. Normally stuff like this goes away in about 24 to 48 hours but this
has been going on for days now. And it started before my husband came home.
So I can't blame the stress of him being here on this!
Has anyone had anything like this happen? Could this be related to
hormones? I have also been having cramps in one leg. But that could be
because I need to replace my compression hose. And I will be doing that
tomorrow. I was just trying to squeeze one more use out of the pair that I
had. I had read that headaches and muscle cramps can be a part of
menopause. Just wondering if this could be that or something else. Thanks!
