Advice please ! Since my first period after pregnancy, a decade ago, I regularly have episodes where I vomit, have a moving pain in my head, great fatigue and muscle tics. Am basically in a conscious coma for about 3-5 days. It’s not on any particular day of my cycle, but I never have a cycle without this. I get a feeling of doom beforehand and am then out of function really until the symptoms go, basically feel poisoned for those days. None of the GPs I have ever seen have helped me. It is not diet, stress, weight, exercise, as over the last 10 years these things have varied but not my unwellness. I’d really like to understand what is wrong (not just “hormonal variations”) and find a good medicine solution. I asked my GP for the combined pill but at 48 I am apparently too old. Have not taken hormonal contraceptive before. Do not want to take anything progesterone-only as I think I need a balance of hormones, not less oestrogen. Anyone had this and solved it?
