HI

At 68 I am still experiencing hot flushes, about ebvery 50 minutes. I've been off and on HRT but, since I developed small clots in one leg, I've been taken off HRt and put on Livial. Fifteen days later I'm still experiencing hot flushes. How long before it kicks in?

    Livial is brilliant Helen - you should be nearing some results shortly - worked quite quickly for me - hang in there - found my flushes almost instant with stressfull scenario - know it is hard but try to stay as calm as you can. All the best, Loui x

      No relief from hot flushes after 15 days on Livial, but am experiencing sore hips and knees during the night. Will definitely stay on for a month at least, but ust wondering, how long ....?

    Hi Helen

    I was on Premique low dose which has now disappeared off the shelves sadly, (I am 64) have been on HRT for 12 years, had 2 years off in 2010 but I had Tibolone at the beginning of my HRT and have just been put back on it as the replacement for Premique has made my breasts tender and given me bleeding. I will start the tibolone tomorrow but it did take a while back in the day to take effect, probably gradual over 3 weeks or so as I recall. Just try for the month to give it a chance and go back to discuss with the Doctor, I will post my results from this change in a while. Good luck. Sandra
