Guys, you may not want to read this, lol.
A "friend" was having endometriosis for about a year and decided to have the operation. The gyno/surgeon was given the authority to take "her" ovaries depending on how they looked during the operation. So they were removed.
About a month later (after being on pain meds) she started getting headaches. Over the last 8 months (yes 8 months) she has been to numerous doctors, nuerologists, tried every known migraine medicine they suggest for this. Classic symptoms dont dictate a migraine (not bothered by light, sound etc). Headaches are constant and do elevate and decline but the "core" headache is always there. Had a Catscan and MRI with contrast and everything is clear. Sinus area as well. Was on the hormone patch, they raised and lowered the level trying to see if an adjustment would resolve the headache problem. Also the oral hormone. Now off everything on the advice of doctor. The only relief is narcotics.
Anyone ever hear of this/ Any ideas or suggestions? Has anyone tried the hormone cream? Results, good or bad? Does something like this "go away" after a year or so. Is this a lifetime sentence to horrible almost debilitating pain?
Oh, nothing showed up on the MRI from the spinal tap either.
In retrospect, beng miserable 5 says out of the month was FAR better than being miserable daily for almost 3/4w of a year with no soultion in site. All doctors and specialists are stumped, with the exception of trying biofeedback, hormone creams, or any other legit form of alternative treatments. Anyone?
P.S. I know its not scene related. But I am at my wits end.
