Hi I am sorry i am not on here much I have bouts of H/A and inbetween my bouts i stay away from the computer when I am well. I am having another bout of it which has again coincided in a bout of IBS, my last bout of IBS started when i reduced my citalopram and the doctors said it had triggered a flare, never the less I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy, celiac tests all came back normal, so they diagnosed IBS, this latest bout has been the worst. Evertime I eat i have stomach cramps and diarrhea after eating, headaches and tiredness and a touch of heartburn. The doctor said it was classic IBS and gave me peppermint oil and Mebeverin which has completely settled my stomach apart from the occasional griping pain. My fear is that it is ovarian cancer and no one has picked up on it and the tablets are masking the symptoms. I had bad sciatica for a day that has now gone, that was a week ago but now I have read that leg pain is another symptom of ovarian cancer along with cramps and diarrhea.
I did mention Ovarian cancer to my doctor and he said "no you are classic IBS".
I am going out of my mind with worry my H/A always arises when i have a bad IBS flare up, but the flare up comes before the H/A starts so its not stress thats triggering the flare ups.
sorry for the ramble I have been googling all day and night looking for reassurance and its not helping.
Many thanks
