Headaches
Hi, I had a TAH April 7, 2005, still have my ovaries...but I'm getting headaches on a daily basis. I haven't checked my hormone levels. Went to the docter and had some head xrays done. Came back clear.
Could this be hormonal? If so, what do I do about it?

Perky, it could be hormonal. Have you talked with your gyn? It could be a result of the surgery (even for those who get to keep their ovaries, there is a "shock" to them from the loss of blood supply that came from the uterus, and that can cause short term symptoms).

Thanks, I guess I will have to check my hormone levels to see where I'm at.

Headaches
Your gynocologist should be able to give you an idea of whether that's it. Or, it might not have to do with the surgery. I have had headaches almost daily for many years. I just started with a new doctor, and he is planning to do a complete physical, MRI or other imaging, blood tests, etc. He is hoping to identify what the cause is.
Best wishes--I hope you're able to get some help!

Check your meds. About a year ago, I was having terrible headaches. Dr. ran all sorts of test MRI, ect... They found nothing. DH and I decided to go off all of my medicines (Birth control, Depression) I just stayed on my blood pressure med. The headaches went away. Then about a month or so later, I was feeling down so I went back on Lexapro - headaches returned. When I told my Dr. he said "Oh, yes headaches can be a side effect" That would have been nice to know before the $ bill for the MRI. So you may want to look into any meds you are on and see if they can cause headaches. Good luck!
