Hi again, now on week 6 of this HRT and sweats are slowly creeping back especially at night, but only just so still happy about that, in fact I feel cold in the day which is odd for me.  But am now wondering whether I would be better off with sweats as the headaches and swollen, agonising breasts are becoming unbearable.  I am scared now as the breast symtoms, ie large veins, engorged nipples, red and patchy nipple area and puckered skin all google (I KNOW) as imflammatory breast cancer.  Have appointment with GP on Wednesday to discuss. When I look at the posts on this forum no one really seems bothered by sore breasts, apparently post menopause - am 57 in May - means you should not have painful breasts so something is definitely not right.  I am being so OTT as I know it is probably the HRT, but was so looking forward to being able to sleep and not look like I had put my head in a chip pan so am a bit deflated. Sorry for the rant.
