I struggled really badly with headaches for first 8 weeks then they started to ease off. Cuprofen was the only thing that helped. I know exactly how you feel cos it was the worst headaches I had ever had.

I should add that the injections have worked really well for me and enabled me to return to work I think it just takes a while for your body to adjust. I hope things improve for you soon. When you go for the next injection discuss it with your nurse, she might offer you some hrt tablets to reduce side effects. I have posted quite a lot on these injections so if you go onto my profile you can see my posts. If you have any other questions I will be happy to help x

It's up to you if you think you can face another month more- if not then quit. No one else has to cope except you, and there is no guarantee that next month will be better or worse - either could happen.
