Hi All, Im a newbie and so glad I have found this forum.
I am at my wits end and so confused. I have been menopausal for 12 mths or maybe longer so the doc thinks. I turned 50 last August and thought I could deal with all the symptoms but its driving me crazy now!! Hot flushes, nights sweats, mood swings, anxiety......but the worse for me is the lack of sleep! This is awful! Its making me like a zombie and my eyes are black!! Such a vicious circle. Today I have had a long talk with my husband and we have talked about HRT! It makes me so scared about taking it but I am feeling so awful that Im now considering it. Any ideas of a good low dose HRT that I can talk over with the doc. How has it been for you taking HRT?
Thanks x

I've been on HRT for around 9 years - last year I also tried to wean myself off but like others, have now started again and feel like my old self. I intend to stay on for as long as I can. Initially I tried tablets but found they made me a bit queasy (not a problem for everyone). A friend recommended I try patches and my doctor agreed and I haven't looked back. They are a convenient way of applying HRT and as the hormones don't have to go through the stomach or liver, generally have even less risk.
Read the guidelines and go to speak to your GP - hopefully you have a sympathetic one. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

When you are talking of two pumps are you referring to two pumps per skin area or 2 pumps in total! Am a 'pump,' novice as you can tell! Thank you.
