Hi hun. I have been in menopause for over a year now and my first symptom was headaches. You will experience EVERYTHING. You hormones are bouncing all over the place. I am also a nurse. I would recommend seeing your doctor for symptom relief. Some doctor's will prescribe hormones like birth control to balance you out. I suggest progesterone. It is safer. A lot of doctor's these days are making women "wing it" so to speak. Vitamins are very important and will help. You should take a GOOD multi vitamin, a calcium vitamin/D, and B-12. Good Luck hun and hang in there...it is a bumpy road. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
