You can take soya isoflavones, which are a gentle plant form of oestrogen. They take around 4-6 weeks to kick in though, so consider taking some extra magnesium in the meantime to help quickly while you wait for the oestrogen to work.
Salus Haus liquid magnesium is fast acting. Take 2 doses per day instead of 1 until you feel better.
Are you taking an iron supplement too? A natural iron would be best - Floradix or Feroglobin, for example. You won't feel like exercising so your circulation will be poor, which doesn't help.
Try doing breathing exercises, as this helps your circulation and also boosts the release of painkilling chemicals from your brain stem.
