First period

Hi, My beautiful daughter had her first period almost 2 weeks ago and has had daily headaches since. Is this normal when just starting your period? She is exhausted all the time and comes home from school and goes straight to bed. ( if she makes it to school) or just lays in bed all day if she isn’t at school. Complains her head hurts and bursts into tears.

I know her hormones clearly need to balance out but I don’t remember having so many headaches even tho i had migraines.

This was me the start of my life with migraines at this age. It’s terrible and 30 years on, it’s no different. She will need to see the Dr and get some medication for menstrual migraines or some advice on what to do . There is a natures own magnesium capsule that helps me slightly.

I would go to a GP and get some bloods done. I would also try find a good naturopath to help support the change in her body
