I suffer really badly two days before AF, a really bad banging headache bordering on migrane.

am taking multibionca which contains b6 and alos take evening primrose, all which seems to do nothing

any suggestions greatly appreciated

If you're going to take B6, take it on its own - you need it in a larger dose than most of the multi-vitamins give you. Starflower oil is meant to be good too, but again you need to take it in mega-doses. Same with the evening primrose, you need really big doses (which your GP can prescribe) and you need to give it a couple of months to take effect.

yes the multivit is only 2mg, do take 1000 of evening primrose though

I looked at the magnesium ok and bit unsure about doubling up the vitamins(as already taking multibionca)

interesting one about the salt

Evening primrose oil, though you have to take it all the time, not just when you are feeling pms-y, iyswim....
Also, if you have it badly regularly, you could go and see a chinese herbalist, as they can sometimes tweak your hormone levels (!), which can more or less get rid of all the symptoms permanently (wouldn't that be great !)
