The most helpful thing my husband does is believe me and reduce noise/light when it hits. Menstrual migraines can be brutal. I also keep medication, water and easy food ready during the high-risk days. Planning ahead lowers the panic when one starts.
Mine are very connected to my cycle. They usually hit right before bleeding starts. Tracking helped because my doctor could see the pattern and suggest options. Regular headaches and migraines are not the same, so if she is losing days to them, she deserves proper care.
