I think you are right about the hypoglycaemia. I ate breakfast as usual this morning and was fine and a few hours later I needed to eat again and have had no headache today. Hooorah. I like to take all my supplements on an empty tum tum so maybe it was the time between eating and absorption of supplements that caused the issue.
I am getting my hormones checked and the doctor has agreed to do that as he is a new young doctor who is not yet jaded by the system and likes to help concerned females like myself!!! He is checking for FSH, LH, oestrodiol and diabetes apparently. I asked him about progesterone levels etc and he just drew me a drawing to take home LOL. ah sweet! He did say that blood tests don't give a definitive hormone level but it will discount and abnormalities.
I reckon I may do a test privately a few months down the line to see the state of play.
Thanks Dr Abi for your help and making me feel less panicked!
