" Definitely connected with hormones! I get a period like once every three months now...and when it comes, its a doozy! I havent had these bad of symptoms since I was 13! The headaches, the cramping, the all over yuks! And more disgusting is the heavy periods....Something about feeling that drip, drip, drip, EVERYTIME I stand up just gunks me out!I think my body just has a hard time passing those square shrively eggs! I mean, how good could could they be? I'm 50! ugh.... "

" I too get migrains a week before my period and a week after. I take a goody powder at the FIRST sign of the migrain and within 10-15 minutes my headache is COMPLETELY gone! I reccomend goody powder for headaches & Migrains. Good luck! :)

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor but have tried many different methods for headaches! "

Hi Gator,
Good Powders are a brand name (headache/pain) reliever and it comes in the form of "powder' it's individual packets. You can purchase this product at most any convenient store, wal-mart, drug store etc. Open one packet and take with one 8oz glass of water!

Feel better SOON!

(*(*BIG HUGS*)*) :-) "
