I have had IBS for about ten years, but it only started becoming severe about a year and a half ago. Around this same time, I started to notice that I would get a headache right after my period stops- literally in the same moment. This headache is dull and centered in the back of my head and the top of my neck and lasts for about four to five days. I have definitely noticed that the headache happens like clockwork after menstruation.Could this be related to IBS? The headaches and severe D/C began around the same time.My OB/GYN doesn't know why these headaches happen. I am on Ortho-tricyclen after a nasty stint on Loestrin.Help- does anyone else notice a pattern with their headaches and their menstrual cycles????
