I am one of the "lucky few" as well! :-) I never thought about inquiring about it, as I figured it is just one of those unfortunate consequences of being female...so I am so glad you asked!
I can almost guarantee a headache and mood changes with irritability right before, or on day one, of my period. If I take ibuprofen (just the regular dose in the morning), avoid salty foods and avoid TV and the computer screen that day, I can help my chances of preventing a migraine and "just" have a headache.
Have you found anything that helps you? How bad is your migraine (are you sensitive to light, etc)? Do you have other symptoms, too?
I think I will track my migraine, as the above resource suggests (Dr. Bernstein)...sounds like good advice!
