So 5 years I developed very severe breast pain, after investigation it was put down to hormones and I was prescribed EPO and painkillers.I plodded along and just changed bras and accepted they were painful. Then a year ago I started with ovulation pain for the first time ever. 6 months ago I started to get very persistent period pains and bloating. Blood tests and scans ruled out anything sinister but my ovary follicles and womb lining were unusually small/thin. Now since Christmas I have barely been able to sleep even though I am exhausted and I have this awful feeling of nausea (like morning sickness) ,dizziness (vertigo) and headaches from ovulation onwards and anxiety is through the roof. Could these all be linked to meno? In hindsight it all seems to have started since my mirena was removed 5 years ago. Until then I had always either been on contraceptive hormones or pregnant ( so 21 years!)
