Headaches before periods

 Does anyone get headaches before their periods and any suggestions (besides being addicted to pain killers) to tackle this...it sometimes comes just days before my period and sometimes a whole week.  Some have suggested I may be anaemic but I try to keep my iron levels up esp before expecting my periods.

This can be a hormonal thing.  If you have a good Doctor speak to them.  If you can find a doctor who specialises in natural womans health even better.  There are things you can do.  If you have a compounding pharmacist in your area, speak to them they will know whether there is a doctor in your area that specialises in this as that doctor will deal with them.

Believe it or not, a lot of headaches are at least in part caused by dehydration..Drinking lots of H2O may help alleviate the headache when it comes!1

Good luck!

I get them all the time also...they are ridiculous...the only thing i do is take whatever works as soon as i start to feel it and  when i get to bed i sleep with a cold face cloth on my forehead..most of the time my headaches last throughout my whole period...nothing really works other then just laying down with a face cloth on my head (along with the pain meds of course)
