Hi ladies I just wanted to share some

Positive feedback. I know HRT is not a

Solution for everyone but it seems to be

Working for me after 4 years of misery

Wasted years now that I look back.

I have lots of energy, I could barely make it out of bed before, the depression has gone and the terrible aggressive grumpiness too

Thank god. I am taking a patch its been 6

Weeks now and my gyneocologist takes the same one. I am 50 and my periods stopped at 46 and I was unhappy for 4 years. I have a 9 year old son, and I wanted to enjoy him.

I know there are risks but for me I want to

Enjoy now and not waste the years I have.

My gyneocologist is very supportive around the same age as me and is pro HRT. I know not all doctors are. I hope you all find a way to get through this awful stage of life for me it had to be full on chemical warfare ! ! Lol 😁

    Hi I can so relate they wouldn't prescribe HRT for me because I had breast cancer in 2019, right after radiation treatments I went into menopause and I have suffered for three years t my symptoms include brain fog, moodiness, snapping at my boyfriend. I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning, my worst symptom was back pain. I was fit before cancer and with the back pain I could not work out I was in constant pain, put on weight, I was exhausted all the time could barely sweep the floor without having to sit down, I felt my life was over, I was hot all the time that I couldn't stay in the same bed as my partner, there was no joy in life.

    I finally got prescribed HRT after seeing two specialist and 6 days later it is like a miracle, I'm back, I feel like a veil has lifted and I can see again, my back pain is gone and I went for a walk / run yesterday first time in 3 years. Thank you, thank you to this miracle medication.
