Okay, so cramps, discharge, and headaches are super common, especially around the time your period is coming or even just as part of your cycle. It's like your body is going through a lot of changes and stuff, and sometimes it shows up with these signs. Lots of girls have literally all of these at once.

What to do for headaches and cramps

For your headache, the fastest thing is usually to ask a grown-up if you can take some pain medicine, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Definitely check with them first though! Resting in a quiet, dark room can also help a lot, and sometimes a cool washcloth on your forehead feels really good. For cramps, a heating pad or a warm bath can be like magic. It really helps those muscles relax. Also, sometimes just moving around a little, like going for a short walk, can surprisingly make cramps feel a bit better.

About discharge

The dry discharge you're seeing is probably totally normal. Discharge changes throughout your cycle and sometimes it can be clearer, sometimes thicker, and sometimes it can dry a bit when you wipe. It's your body's way of keeping things clean down there, and it's like a totally normal thing to have.

When to tell a grown-up

If your headache is super intense and won't go away, or if the cramps are so bad they stop you from doing regular stuff, it's a good idea to chat with a trusted grown-up. They can help you figure out if you need anything else or if it's something worth getting checked out.
