Feeling weird after period goes off

So sorry you are having migraines! I got them before my period when my sleep was disrupted and/or when I overheated.  Mine always started in my stomach with a particular kind of nausea. Then the lights and wobbly vision. 

Oner thing I did was consciously try to relax my jaw. A Dr. told me that a migraine perpetuates itself through the muscle tension in your head and face when you tense up with the pain. 

Lying in the dark and quiet helped too. The trick is to get into the dark and quiet at the first sign of the lights and nausea. Give yourself permission to stay there in the quiet until the headache is gone. Getting up when you feel a little better is too soon. 

Happy New Year Sharcerv, the only thing that works for my migraines are Triptans, the one I am prescribed is called naramig, there are different kinds and you just have to find the one that works for you

I have suffered from migraine for years mainly before or at the end of my period. They have became more frequent and intense since I entered Peri, I also have the visual disturbance and flashing lights sometimes which always freaks me out

Ask your doctor about the triptans they really are great for dealing with migraine and the sooner you take it the faster it gets rid of the intense pain

Good luck x

I just learned something new from you. I had the same symptoms and didn't realize these were migraines.

Dear Sharcerv

I never suffered with migraines ever but in peri had the migraine auras, at first I wondered what they were zig zags of light, I did have as many as four a month, thankfully I hardly have them now! I didnt take anything for them x

hi.    I take an anti-histamine when I feel a migraine starting.  It was given to me when I went to hospital once and then I read about the migraine/histamine connection.  I don't take these all the time, just when I start a migraine (which are much less now).  See what your doctor says and look up about migraine/histamine. I also avoid certain 'high histamine' foods, such as strawberries and cheese. Your migraines may not come from food triggers but if you think they might, and you've eaten something that high histamine, you can then have something low histamine like an apple which can balance it.  I'm not an expert on this at all, but you should look it up and ask your doctor too. hope this helps somehow.!

Me too, feel lke my head is an over blown balloon. Y nose is constantly stuffed too, what joy!
