For over a decade since my pregnancy, I've suffered from ferocious headaches and, also, from rosacea (?) really scaly skin on face with spots. The headache feels like poison each time. I kept a headache diary and have seen a nutritionist. The headaches sort of coincide with my cycle but not really, and also seem to come at random other times, always lasting for 3 days, sometimes up to 7. I am incapacitated during the headaches, cannot work or function. For the rosacea, it has been a big embarrassment over the years. At least as a woman, can wear foundation but frankly close up for work colleagues and friends/family it is obvious and looks rubbish. I do have heavy periods now, I just thought it was age.
A bit randomly (I usually take a multivit) I took a slow-release Iron, Zinc, B12 tablet last time I had this headache. Within a few hours, the headache had gone and I could see clearly, felt normal. This has never happened, paracetamol aspirin does not clear this headache, or clears it a bit then comes back. Same thing next day. They are one-a-day with 17mg iron in, and so I took one a day this last week.
I feel great.
No headache. Feel clear and energised. My skin looks normal.
I cannot believe I've just spend a decade suffering and now might have found the solution.
My question is whether anyone else had this?
And if so what dose did you take? Is it safe?
