Pre-period symptoms

Does anyone else get really annoying pre-period symptoms? I always get mild to bad headaches a couple of days before my period comes. I usually end up wishing I would just start already so they go away and I can get a little relief.

But anyway, I'm supposed to start this weekend, so here I am all festively motivated, baking cookies and wrapping presents and shit, and boom! headache hits and I'm wrapped in a blanket on the couch. Like really? It's Christmas, why you gotta be this way?
