personally think nothing compares to plain old aspirin for most headaches

Personal experience for me, aspirin doesn't touch my migraines. I have had them for over 50 years now and the only thing that ever helped mine is prescription sumatriptan. However, if you don't want to go that far, sometimes a little extra caffiene helps.

The headaches and nausea will probably disappear when you are post menopause.

Unfortunately, not always true. I have been post menopausal for about 13 years and continue to get them regularly. My mother's migraines stopped when she became post menopausal so it looks like you have a 50-50 chance based on my official study of 2 people. Since you didn't get migraines previously, you could be in the good 50% group.

My mother-in-law swears by evening primrose. But I don't know if she had headaches too.
Good luck!

It sucks, I was pre menopausal when I got breast cancer and went on the drug Tamoxifen which put me into complete non estrogen receiving. ..no hormone,,,not decreased...none. So after lumping around for awhile, I did things to increase my seratonin levels. Google that and see if anything sounds right to you. I think the hormone stuff will level out as your body adjusts, think pregnancy and morning sickness...of course even in the worst cases 9 months cures that ;-) Read a lot of stuff and try out a few things. Fatigue, hot flashes and mind numbing muscle spasms were my thing...everything is more tolerable now and I still have 2 and half years left on this drug. Good luck
