Hi
Want good reviews of HRT Evorel patches and Utrogestan capsules.
Just started them today.
I have got just about every horrible symptom going. I've had enough,so have started patches today. I want to feel a bit better to enjoy my kids before they leave home. I am 46 and have had symptoms for 3 years however the last 3 months have been out of this world. Depression,doom and gloom,panic attacks,night sweats,hot flashes,burning mouth,severe headaches,dizziness,tinnitus,crawling feeling etc. No interest in anything. I am a different person and I don't like the person. Any nice comments please 😊
Hi Michelle I'm on the same HRT as you.
Im 51 and like you I'd had enough......I felt like I'd lost me if that makes sense ?
ive been on the patches for nearly 3 mths. My enthusiasm is better than its been, sleep better, skin nails and hair starting to look and feel better and best of all my moods much improved.
I know the slight risk of having HRT but the risk to my health staying as I was wasn't good either.
feeling lots better and know things still need to settle down.....and improve
giving me hope ladies, i am having blood tests tomorrow but told my doc i want to start hrt, if my levels are right she is going to start me on it next week - i totally get the comments have had enough and want the old me back...
Hi Michelle, I know how you feel I had the crawling feeling as well as the other symptoms i mentioned. I have a ten-year-old and recently have felt as though i am not there for him and i hate it. I am going to start HRT when i speak to my doctor. Do you ever feel in the morning as though you are about 80 and cant get going ? I really struggle with that x
Jayne, i totally get the comments its nice to hear i am not alone,we willbe starting HRT at similar times, be good to share our experiences on here. I
Just a mention. When at the well woman clinic Monday night I asked why if my blood test hormone levels where ok has HRT been so benaficial to me? The doc answer was the blood test aren't reliable if your over 40 so I asked what the point was in having the blood test and she just shrugged her shoulders and said symptoms and age are more reliable.......
Hi Julie
Yes every day at the moment I can't get moving . I only worked part time but I gave it up early January. Will go back when I am a lot better. I have a 13 year old boy and I feel guilty that I'm not doing things with him the last few Months. I need my energy back. Taking vitamin B 6 and 12 supplements.
Oh my God I am so glad to hear there is some relief for this. Going to the doctor in the a.m. can't take it anymore.
I thought it was me, or something wrong with me, i am university full time, (late learner lol ) and some days i get up and its even hard to go up and down stairs. I hate not having the energy in the mornings. This site is helping a lot its good to know we are all sane and have the same fears and worries. I hope you start to feel better soon. I agree vitamins will help and thats something else i need to look at.
Let me know how you get on ☺
I will..I'm going to scour this city until I get some relief ugh.
Hi Deb, how did you convince your doc to give you hrt if your levels were normal, mine were normal last time so they wouldn't let me have it due to possible risks, Symptoms are getting worse so having bloods done again today... Just want some peace!!!
Hi Jayne I had my bloods done through my Gp. A male doc gave me the results and was so unsympathetic.....the bloods are ranges but he wouldn't tell me the ranges only that my bloods where fine!
I knew I wasn't fine so went to our local well woman clinic who see this everyday. They've been brilliant.....in fact I cried when the doc there understood how I was feeling.....a lady doc.
Now I'm on HRT and have like you said it peace
Good luck let me know how you go
Hiya
luckily i have a lady doc and she is brilliant but still wants bloods done again - but i do think she will do something if they come back fine - again!!! they can't be fine, im a raving lunatic half the month!
OK so the doctor is going to start me on some estrogen/progesterone combo pill. I sure hope it works but I'm a little leery.
I started hrt patches yesterday. Here's hoping 😉
Hi deb, where are these well women clinics, I've never heard of them?
Hi Julie, that would be great, fingers crossed it works!! Xx
Hi
Can I ask why patches and not tablets or do you have both?
Their called sexual health clinics really. Google them for your area or ask your Gp. They deal with all women's stuff. I've more faith in them than the Gp as they are so stressed in our area( as I'm sure they are everywhere) that you feel rushed and they look at their watch while your talking....
what area do you live in ?
