I'm 51 years old and think I'm at the start of the perimenopause.  I've been suffering with headaches for approx eight weeks, haven't had a proper period for eleven weeks except for some spotting a week or so ago. Coincidentally the only days I haven't had a headache where approx 3 days before and and 3 days after spotting and this is when it hit me the headaches could be associated.  The headaches feel like tension ones as they're from top front going into the top of my neck.  Not realising they might be hormonal, I've had my eyes tested and been drinking more water before seeing my GP.

Hopefully this is a short term thing, but I just wondered if anyone can recommend an natural remedies or supplements that have helped them.

Hi and welcome to MM Starfish4
These types of headache are very common in peri meno.  Read up all the info on this site to get clued up and get back to us with questions.  A low dose of HRT ‘might' help to balance your hormones through the peri meno stage and receive these headaches. DG x

Thanks for your reply and welcome. I've been having a good look at the forum and have decided to try something with soy isoflavones, as I read it also helps with hot flushes which I've also been getting, primarily it's the headaches that bother me at the moment.   Does anyone know how long they take to help, assuming they're going to?
