hi all i usualy get swolen fi gers and especialy if its hot.
but iv started tonight with realy swolen feet and hands.
i did start on a higher hrt patch estrogen only patch. i went up from a 50 to 75 patch. not sure if i should have done now.
iv never had swolen feet befor and they are burning.
i do t know if its because of to much estrogen. the thing is i also take norethisterone in. pill im taking two a day.
this is wile im waiting for a coil. i was suposed to have a coil last week but they couldnt fit it in so now im waiting to see gynocologist in september about it. i did take the combined oatches were it was estogen for a few weeks then one with both in for two weeks but i started to bleed real bad and it didnt stop for over six months. so gynacologist at hospital told me to go on estrogen only patch and take norethisterone till i got coil in but i aited months for one then when i went it wasnt possible. i realy feel im not right on this arangment. it scars me how they just up the patch and iv still got a womb and havnt stoped a period yet just had scatty ones befor hrt was given me. i dont like this swelling its like iv been on my feet all day and i havnt.i feel like stoping taking all of it but im scared to stop as my periods just scare me so much they so heavy i cant leave house.im realy botherd by it all and dont know what to do foe best.
Hi me too I have the swollen fingers and hot swollen toes specially when it is hot ,or if I walk for half hour they start getting hot ,I hate it I always hated the heat 😤at night I have to put my feet under cold water , I know it is due to hormone because I use to have this problem when I was teen and went away now I’m 42 and I’ve suffering fron it for almost a year along with enxcity ,joint pain , headaches ,cold sensitivity,bad allergies 😤😤😤
Hi hon... I've had the swollen feet and ankles oftenand doc says it is a combination of hormone fluctuations making my body hold onto water. So as opposite as it sounds, I have to drink more water...to pee it out. My swelling usually happens before my period and goes down when bnb it starts. I also see it when the weather is hot n humid. I've noticed exercise helps keep it away too...plus I feel better after a mile long walk.
Let your doctor know your fears and concerns and ask what you can do about it. Maybe your NC should be adjusted...or stopped.
But please speak up about it..hugs
I haven't taken any hrt at all I've not had a period since Nov, I know everyone is different but the thought of hrt scared me, I do take boots own menopause plus tablets two at night everyday and they have seemed to help with all the symptoms yes I get hot flushes but I just cope with them. And some nights I get disturbed sleep. But that's about it maybe you should try something like them x😊
