Migraine headaches can be downright incapacitating on their own; when they are part of the spectrum of premenstrual syndrome symptoms, the combination can be truly debilitating. In fact, migraines may make PMS symptoms worse. Ordinarily, PMS symptoms are bad enough: bloating, moodiness, and cramping can really take a toll, especially when they occur month after month. Add headaches or migraines to the mix, though, and it can be hard to function.

There are two kinds of migraine headaches that are labeled menstrual migraines. The most common is menstrually-related migraine: this PMS migraine can occur during the few days before the period and the first few days of the period itself, as well as during the rest of the month. Pure menstrual migraines, in contrast, occur only during that time period. Menstrual migraines are defined as "migraines without aura," meaning they don't have the typical pre-migraine onset symptoms.
