I am 57 and have just stopped taking HRT after 7 years and am plagued with hot flushes and pins and needles in the fingers. I can find plenty of guidance on the menopause and why to/ not to use HRT, but nothing offering information on what happens when you stop HRT! Help!

how terrible the patch was on its own.
First of all it is only Estrogen so my boobs were huge and so was my stomach and despite the fact
I rode bicycle everyday . Any we need hormones for our body to function correctly so I went and had a blood
test and had no testosterone making me a stressed out fool with panic attacks. could never sleep. Anyway
to cut a long story short the natropath made me a cream to apply that had all the missing elements I needed. Testosterone, Estrogen and teistertone. After two weeks I started losing weight, my boobs went down to
normal size, I can sleep like a log and have no more panic attacks. I do not sweat any more and feel
amazing. My memory is fantastic I haven't cried in 6 months. This cream is not a chemical or a synthetic mixture so you can keep applying it. Without these hormones we can become very sick. Also being on the patch has made our organs incompetent to work on their own which is what they would have done if we hadn't had the patch in the first place. Our own bodies would have straightened itself out.
go get a blood test to see what your hormone levels are and see a naturopath.

Even if it take six months to a year doesent matter. Cut out one a month.
I have been on HRT for over twenty years and am not coming off them, I have tried and can't stand it I really feel so much better on them, I have very strong bones that has to be a good thing it's not all bad side effects. There are women that stay on it well into there seventies. Anyway doctors are really not sure about the side effects.
good luck.
