Could this be?

16 years ago

I am a newbie to this forum, mostly go to the KT and or cooking. I just found this forum and now I have a question if I may.

Sometime after the first of the year I started having these terrible headaches. At first it seemed to be like clockwork every 12 hours. Then I figured that by taking some Aleeve that is a 12 hour pill was the reason for the simularity of time. This headache(not migraine) was like someone hit me in the back of my head with a slug hammer. I get hot, at the back of my head, that is my 1st indication that it is coming.Now I have figured out I need to put an ice pack at the back of my neck ASAP.

I break down crying at work because it hurts so bad ( at least once a day) People at work think I have a brain tumor, or cancer , or something equally as worst.

When I went to my PCP he said I strained my trapzius muscle, sent me home with a prescription for 500 mg aleeve and a muscle relaxer. Well the aleeve upset my stomach and only took 1 relaxer because of the way it made me loopey.

My daughter works for a chiropractor and finally said I would go . Now that has been an overall relief, but the headaches are back. Started about 10:30 am and the ice was the only thing that helped. My Question---

Could this be the something to do with menopause. I had a complete hysterectomy back in 91 and went off HRT 1 year ago Jan. I do not know if I am or have gone though menopause.Any suggestion is appreciated...Deb

The minute you had the surgery, you were in menopause. That's called surgical menopause. You won't have any other kind. I had a total hysterectomy in 1987 and have been in surgical menopause since then.

Yes, headaches are a sympton of menopause.

Why did you go off hrt? Have you considered bioidentical hormones? They come in gels, patches, creams and pellets. I have the pellets. They are implanted in my hip every 3-4 months. I get estrogen and testosterone. They have drastically changed my life for the better.

There are options out there and you don't need to suffer.

Hi all, Sorry for the late response. I haven't logged in for quite a while. Interesting views. Mangodog, quite fascinated with the idea that it also happens to papayas, suggesting that this could be a phenomenon that happens to all fruits. Jalilu, so that explains the pico's relatively more pointed shape with reference to the carabao. Hence, the descriptive pico name. The Philippine language has many references to the spanish language. Or maybe, you're right. It could be the protrusion that happens once in a while that led to it being called the mango with the beak..hence pico :-) Thanks for your insights. Zig

@dianabythelocks I think the rugs you are showing above appear equally as patterned, they are just lighter. I tend to like a darker rug for a runner because it is usually in a heavy traffic pattern area. Without knowing the rest of your home design and/or colors it's hard to pick one. I was also thinking that the darker one pulls the color from your chest, and doesn't fade into the tile. https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/united-weavers-countess/Brown/14185110715-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/surya-ath5052/Chocolate/158ATH5052-P.html https://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/rugs-usa-luxuriant-fringe/Brown/200KHMC23A-P.html What do you think of these from rugs usa, they all have a runner some just didn't show up that way in the vizualizer.

Wayfair had them, but sorry to say they’re out of stock. Maybe you could contact them to see if they’ll ever be carrying it again? https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/orren-ellis-tangires-curve-foot-end-table-w001603593.html ETA: I looked further and saw some other sites that had them, but every single one is out of stock/no longer available.
