PSA to other migraineurs: If you can't tolerate the pill version of imitrex, ask your doctor for the nasal spray. It has been a game changer for me, and frankly, a life saver. I also have Ubrelvy for when I can feel the headache sneaking up but am not fully immersed in the headache yet.
Hope you get relief quickly!

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
