Hi I just wondered if anyone else gets bad headaches with IBS especially before your period (if you are a women!) I went to the doctor about it as it is more regular now & she felt it was to do with stress although I don't feel stressed! I used to take paracetamol but she advised me to take ibroprofen so have done that & it is better taking that. When I get a bad headache I feel like I can't concentrate on anything & sometimes just want to sleep as I also get really tired too.
I have had Migraines for years with IBS. I am well past menopause, but I used to get headaches right before my period would come. One weird thing I found that helps with headaches and a light migraine is Advil Cold & Sinus. You have to get it behind the Pharmacy counter because it contains Sudafed. It sounds odd but honestly it really does help with headaches. I also get very fatigued with IBS-D and with my migraines. This disease can be very challenging. Hugs and Prayers Paula!
