Id like to hear from anyone out there who gets bad headaches especially around the time of their period and what do you do to combat this

I often get bad migraines around the time of my period, they really are a pain (pardon the pun). I went to the Migraine clinic in London for advice. It is a hormonal thing. Make sure that you drink extra fluids around this time. I take two (200mg) ibuprofen and one soluble paracetamol, I dissolve it in luke warm water as it gets into the blood stream quicker that way. I take them every four hours...any more than that is non-effective and could be dangerous.
Have a chat with your doctor, he will be able to help you.

Yes I used to get bad headaches, not now as I had to have a hysterectomy 3 months ago at the age of 38. My headaches were very bad before and during my period. I took ibuprofen every 4-6 hours. They did relieve the headaches but not 100%

Yes, very common to get migraine like headaches during your period. Try limiting salt and sugar intake about 3 days before you start then continue until you are done. I've also found that the Advil product for migraines works great if taken early in the pain stage.

I get bad headaches - I try to massage my head rather than pump my body with asperins. The pain does ease, but I have problems with headaches most days anyway.

I did when I was married to my sons father, but then chocolates helped as much as the divorce did

You're just collecting them. When you get married you'll be giving them all to your husband.
