HORMONAL MIGRAINES! Why They Happen + What To Do About Them

Experiencing terrible migraine now and searching for help!

I was feeling pretty sorry for myself this morning having, yet again another migraine. Thank you for making me feel less alone. ❤❤❤

[@sadia5564]

Our body is so amazing. I can always feel when my periods are coming days before. I automatically feel weaker and tiredness. And then I get the headaches. But these days I get headaches all throughout my period. And the annoyance and emotions are high.

[@layla8647]

Mine is so bad 🤮, that I now get Magnesium sulfate infusion once a month Via IV! But it hadn’t helped yet.

I started having hormonal migraines about a year or 2 ago (I'm about to be 39). They were always within 3 days before or after the start of my period, but recently they've moved to before my period by about a week or so.

[@lauracummings3437]

I'm the exact same . Always 3 days before or on the 3rd day of my period . This month for the first time I have had it a week after my period . How are you managing it?

[@sincerelyanonymousox]

The doctor was useless! But everything you mentioned is what I research and found out over time and religiously implementing into my routine as much as possible has helped so much. Milk thistle, aswaghanda and teas from traditional medicinals help a lot too. Try it ladies ❤

Omg, this is the first video that mentioned types of menstrual migraine andcit is the first time the iron deficiency is responsible for migraine, no wonder why my migraine got worsen given my ion had recently been tested to be low. Great video with lots of helpful info. Thanks!

[@kerrischindler5561]

These are the videos i am so happy to see. I recently just turned 30. After my second was born, i began having "end menstrual migraines". I had no idea why they were happening or what could cause them. Thankfully it helped me begin a journey that I am excited for as it helped me quit drinking and its helping me learn to have a healthy relationship with food. Funny thing though is that since weaning in November, I now suffer from a headache around ovulation. our bodies always seem to be changing so now im looking into how to help the headaches around ovulation. Thank you for your videos.

[@strawberryme08]

Drink wheatgrass! And eat meat and foods with high vit c don’t take supplements because especially with iron what we take as a supplement isn’t usually bioavailable and we can get iron toxicity which perpetuates iron deficiency and causes a lot of issues. Also vit c as a supplement isn’t actually vit c it’s just Ascorbic acid the shell of a c molecule and it shoves iron into storage in the cell creating problems. But growing and juicing wheatgrass is amazing it has the highest vit c you can find and iron and copper (vit c molecule contains copper it helps process iron!) a lot of times we’re not actually iron deficient in the body we just can’t pull it from storage and use it because we lack the nutrients to do so oxo

[@sabaatalal7470]

I tried yoga, massage, arumatheopy baths, and over the counter medication but nothing worked. I feel great pressure in my head and neck and as if my eyes going to pop out of my skull.. For two weeks now.. I have cupping appointment in two days I hope it eases the pain.

[@kkalchev1]

Hi I had a lot of neck pain that triggered migraines and found out I had a herniated disc that was pushing on the nerves associated with migraine pain. So you may want to check to see if it's a disc issue.

[@Aly-hu4zw]

Prenatals for me helped :) I wasnt using it for headaches just for hair and nails. To my suprise no more pms and headaches. They worked just as well as propranolol. They also worked right away.

[@catiabotelho5845]

Have you tried Reiki therapy?

[@src4409]

I did a food sensitivity blood test. I'm sensitive to turmeric, nutritional yeast, chia seeds, and about 30 other foods. Just wanted to let people know that they really need to get tested because a lot of "helpful" foods that so many people are pushing could be a trigger for you.

[@glendaanderson4969]

Those tests are just reading inflammatory responses so your body could be mounting an immune response from underlying viral load and using those foods to do so (epstein barr, streptococcus, hpv, ect). They're really not useful.

[@glendaanderson4969]

Think about it... all those foods you just mentioned are good for you.

[@glendaanderson4969]

Maybe not nooch... but the extra B12 might do something for ya

[@jayterra2060]

What was the name of the food sensitivity blood Test you took?

[@veryplantyvegan9342]

[@Chh_Nour]

you've talked about lowering prostaglandins and increasing iron intake, but what about premenstrual migraines? are there specific supplements or foods that can help balance out the fluctuating hormone and therefore prevent migraines?

[@tabtwm7125]

Try Himalaya evecare pills. They work for me

[@dshazo3714]

I had migraines before I started elementary school. There were no meds until I was 50 years old. Vomiting, dark room and no sound. By puberty they amped up and lasted 5 days. By my twenties I got demerol and vistaril shots for pain and nausea. They became only abdominal by menopause and recently in my 60s got bad again.

[@cessvillarmea2865]

than you so much for this info... my God i got anxiety sometimes and paranoid on what was happening to me. you are a blessing

[@fae137]

Ubiquinol is great for migraines too. I used it with B2 and magnesium to stop a massive attack.

[@jenniferkennedy1886]

What is that exactly?

[@Masqueesha]

@@jenniferkennedy1886 Ubiquinol is a form of CoQ10 and B2 is Riboflavin. I take both daily for my menstrual migraines. In my experience, the supplements haven’t stopped the migraines, but they have lessened the severity of them. Hope that helps!

[@cleonawallace376]

Thanks, this has been really helpful. I've had migraines around my period for many years, as did my mum. For many years I never knew they were even considered a form a migraine though, and because I had previously also been diagnosed with tension cluster headaches, I never even thought to search for migraine help until the last few years. I'm 46 now, and although my cycle is still regular, i've noticed that my headaches have been getting worse around my period and ovulation, so I'm a little nervous about when perimenopause really starts!

[@michellesevilla455]

Very validating thank you for all the information and delivering it in such a calm and even hopeful way! Knowledge is power, and knowing we are not alone as migraine suffers also is helpful. Will definitely try some of these suggestions I’ve been suffering since I was 16 and I know that I am in perimenopause, which does have a correlation with migraines and once again, it is those great hormones as the culprit! Lol

[@tahirihachiaa1626]

I love your voice its so calming ❤❤

[@SandungaLuna]

Thank you for all the great information. I suspect I'm low in iron which is why I'm getting them.

[@Shaema__]

My period is due in 2 days but i’m holding off on migraine pain killers as best as I can because im trying to conceive 😢 my migraine got so intense, i just took the pain killers after a negative hcg test. Been experiencing the headache for 4 days and every time the pain killer wears off, migraine would come back. The best approach is to hold off pain killers until im sure im not pregnant, but i just can’t handle the pain anymore huhu it hurts so bad

[@whitneymartinez3342]

Why did it take me so long to check out your channel?!?! Learned of you from your man. I started having hormone headaches when nursing my first child. I'm done having kids (I have 4) but I still experience them from time to time. Going PB and losing the baby weight has made a world of difference though. I do still get them from time to time and have been tracking them. I've been at a loss as to why. This has helped so MUCH! Thank you!

[@ricklicks42]

Eating a meat heavy Keto or Carnivore diet will GREATLY improve anyone's hormonal imbalance. Whether male or female. Nutritional yeast is a fantastic source of b vitamins, is very bioavailable, and can help with many of the deficiencies you mentioned. People need to stop being afraid of animal based foods. It's what got us to the place we are today!

Super informative video, I wish this is something my OBGYN talked more about. I know that migraines often present in one side of the head but when I see it on a diagram it’s always in front.. Is it possibly for them to present more towards the back of the head? Two days ago I suddenly started getting horrible headaches in the back right area of my head~ I noticed my neck is tighter on that side as well. Then yesterday I started my period, so I thought it could be related. Any advice would be much appreciated as i’m already drowning in medical bills and can’t really afford an extra check up. Thanks!

Wild yam capsules or tincture helps tremendously also. I suffered w this for years (accompanied with vomiting) and low progesterone is a big part of it. Hence wild yam. Or get a progesterone cream from an ND. There can be emotional causes too, not just stress. Since menopause, it’s vanished. Yay! But those things got rid of mine by 75%.

If you are also skipping your breakfast and other meals, and taking zero nutrition, taking zero amount of nuts, fruits, and greens, like me, then please, please start it now. Just eat three or four soaked almonds in the morning because you have a magnesium deficiency because you are getting headaches in your periods, and also take greens or iron and magnesium supplements you can take also, and be in the sun for some time in the morning for vitamin D. I know you are not taking any kind of sunlight and any kind of vitamin D, and you are doing a very stressful job, so do the techniques of reducing stress and build your mindset like that, so you do not have to stress all day, and do a physical activity in the evening or in the morning, it just can be a walk, or simply 10 minutes stretches, or playing badminton, bicycling, anything, but do it for one month, and your next period will be so calm, and you do not have to cry for a headache, it's not hormonal, it's not for estrogen, whatever, it's about your health. I was suffering from it, like it was extreme pain, but when I did this, I found out that I have magnesium, vitamin D, and iron deficiencies, so I worked on them, and now my periods go really calm, and I do not have any headache, it can be cramps, but headache will not bother you, so please try it, please, I genuinely want to help you. English is my second language so please do not mind the mistakes I made but please I'm here to comment just for you to try it take care of your health as much as you can . and DRINK WATER .
