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

Hi Flossie I’ve taken migraleve today which is a bit better but not much, it’s also like brain fog can’t think straight but dont want to increase Estrogel too much as had bleeding this week !!! Got the Menopause Clinic in Liverpool on 28th Sept so hoping they can sort it out

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.
