I get migraines a lot that will last days i wake up with not headaches but by mid day my migraines back , usually start last day of my period?

Try prevention: Your pattern is consistent with chronic daily headaches, which need to be broken up and otherwise, will even get worse. Could use prescription meds such as Depakote or topirimate, but otc remedies such as riboflavin, butterbur, co-q-10, feverfew worth a try.
