It is common: Seemingly you are experiencing menstrual migraines which can be quite intense for some. There are preventive treatment so that these attacks don't don't come, and if they do, they tend to be milder and easier to control. Once full-blown, menstrual migraine is not very responsive to medication, and thus needs time/sleep. Consult your doc or a neurologist to help you take control of this. Good luck.
