I had hammering head ache in the middle of the head, where I can not even apply any pain balm. I was going mad with that. I use to vomit and vomit and I was tieing a cloth tightly on the head and was rolling on the bed. Ordinary paracetomol was of no use. I used to take all gins in the sense, analgin, novalgin etc. which are very strong and bad to kidney. Then due to fibroids my uterous was removed and period stopped. Now I am free from that night mare. When I see the images in your discussion, I feel I am going back to those days. My God! Too much to bear.

I hate having periods.. Not only do I have really bad headaches, I also have pain on my lower abdomen, and I have diarrhea.. That's why I always take a sick leave on my first day.. I just don't want to be with any other person .. I just get easily irritated, and I just want to stay in bed all day... just like what I'm doing right now.. And oh, I really like your new picture.

i'm glad and lucky that i don't experience any of that pain when i'm having my period. the only discomfort i have is that it's very uneasy to move and i'm very lazy when i have it.

Hi,As a man i know it theoretically,but i knew something from my wife.See some info from experts- Menstrually related migraine (MRM) are more severe, last longer and are less responsive to pain medication than other migraine headaches. MRM occur 2 days before to within 3 days of the start of menses in at least 2 out of 3 menstrual cycles as well as other times during a woman's cycle. Menstrual migraine (MM) occur 2 days before to within 3 days of the start of menses in at least 2 out of 3 menstrual cycles and at no other time of the month. 8% of all women have MRM, but 50% of women who report headaches have MRM (me too). The theory is that falling estrogen levels in the late luteal phase of a woman's cycle trigger migraines. Treatment of MRM and MM is two pronged - treat the migraine itself once it starts and short-term prevention taken perimenstrually.Some remedies are===== A] Perimenstrual short term prevention: 1] transcutaneous estrogen 1.5 mg 2] frovatriptan 2.5 mg twice daily, 3] naratriptan 1 mg twice daily B]Treatment of acute MRM/MM: 1] sumatriptan 50 and 100 mg 2] mefenamic acid 500 mg 3] rizatriptan 10 mg Be care,bye .
