    Hi Linda,

    I have suffered every sympton on the planet over the last four years and sympathize

    With everyone. I have had a box of HRT

    Patches for 2 years and only started taking

    Them 6 weeks ago in desperation.

    I have to say that i m starting to feel like me

    Again and now i never want to stop taking

    Them as i just cant bear the thought of

    Going back to how i was before. It is not an easy decision to take them but i feel that the years without HRT have been wasted. I

    Was an anxious grumpy depressed woman with no spark for life and now that spark is

    Coming back. Hope you feel better soon 😊
