I am really sorry to hear this. Are you taking migraine medication?

With migraines the best thing is to get something prescribed by your DR. I use sumatriptan for mine. I was wondering if your migraine goes with a medication then maybe your body will slowly get used to this new HRT and you may be able to stick with it.
I am glad you have an appointment coming up soon.
