A member asked:

About 3 days prior to starting my menstrual cycle i get this horrible headache, only thing that stops it is when i start my cycle is this common?

Menstrual migraine: Menstrual migraines or head aches are common. You can try over the counter migraine medications, but if they are severe and not responding you need to see your Gyn.
