> The meds help the pain a lot, but I'm left with sensitivity to light, and to sound to some extent, and visual disturbances that make computer viewing difficult and cause me to feel a bit dizzy.

-- There is a great forum called PowerSurge which has a wealth of information about perimenopause and treatment options. You can even ask experts, including a gyn, questions. At the forum, much like here, women share their experiences, including what's working and what isn't.
Well, I hope your migraine is gone or almost gone.
Have a happy new year!
