I am trying to get some feedback in order to help my mother. My mother is 75 and she has been on HRT for 27 years until February this year when she has stopped taking it. She has recently had 2 months of severe headaches which we are trying to find out the cause. After a CT scan and MRI it seems she has over the past 4 years had a few minor strokes she wasn't aware of - we thought they were something else at the time. She has been very healthy and active on the whole. But this isn't the cause of the pain this time. The doctors and consultants are at a loss, but my mother consistently says when asked about the pain that it feels like it's in the bones, ie the skull bone. Her head is also tender to touch and the pain moves to different parts.
Do you think osteoporosis could be happening in the skull bone - is this possible? And could this be the withdrawal symptoms from a long period of HRT intake?
Any feedback would be helpful for us the decide what the next steps are.
Thank you
Deborah
