Ladies, a few days before my period I get a migraine headache & I even throw!


Question: Ladies, a few days before my period I get a migraine headache & I even throw up?
I am 31 yrs old. My mom said that she had similar symptoms before she reached menopause. What is happening, is this normal. It goes away but I feel like I have the flu for a day...then I start my monthly cycle.

Answers:

I used to get severe migraines around the time of my period, no I just get really bad period pain. Doctors basically said to take painkillers and deal with it that way. The most effective way of taking painkillers is to take ibuprofen AS SOON AS the symptoms of migraine start, otherwise they won't be much help.

Also, if you're getting auras when you have the migraines (weird lights in your vision) don't take the combined pill, I found out it massively increases the likelihood of a stroke.



Menopause...? Already?
You're only 31. I thought that Menopause was just an extreme form of your period.. I mean, I know it's like the end, but there are a lot of hormones involved. It could just be an awful period.
