The Menstrual Report

My period ended today.  During the entire period, I needed Excedrin Migraine just three times.  And all three times I had a headache I'd rate as a 3 or 4.  All three times, the pain went away quickly.

If that was a benefit of not eating carbs, then I'm in.

Typically during a menstrual period I have a 7-8 headache from the day before it begins until the day after it ends.  Excedrin Migraine does no good.  Aleve is slightly better, as it reduces the cramping.  I usually need Axert.  I'm fatigued and uncomfortable for the entire period, no matter which drugs I use.

But this last one...wow.
