I stumbled across this sight and I am glad I did. Menopause is TERRIBLE! I am on HRT, but seems to be not working any longer. I am 53 and had a radical Hysterectomy 5 years ago because of pain, bleeding, cyst., etc and just recently started having ANXIETY , heart racing, hot flushes, insomnia, headaches, different pains in different areas of my body. sleepless nights. You name it and I have had it. I am thinking of slowly getting off the Estradiol 1mg and taking something natural. Since I feel like the med is not helping and I have heard it is not safe to take HRT for a long period of time. The doctor prescribed an antidepressant, but really don't want to go down that road! Any help would be much appreciated! God Bless
oh my goodness i feel your pain. i have all those same symptoms as you and one of the worst is the crippling anxiety. I’m just starting my period and this week I’ve had terrible armpit pain. I’ve convinced myself I have breast cancer. The anxiety causes me to fixate on the terrible symptoms I have. It’s definitely worth trying to go off the HRT if its not working. I wish there was something natural to help but I’ve yet to find it. . I’m so sorry to hear of your symptoms and just know you’re not alone and we all understand.
