I’m struggling again … symptoms strike back
Posted , 5 users are following.
You are all amazingly supportive so I hope someone can relate to my issue again.
I started back on oral HRT and feel okay most of the time but I find every three months or so I get a wave of symptoms which are very debilitating. I get sudden onset nausea, palpitations, upset tummy or constipation, hot and cold flashes, night sweats, fatigue etc.. It seems to be most evident when I reach the last week of my pills, have a bleed and then start my new pack.
I get very anxious and worry there is something very wrong with me.
Has anyone else found they get odd phases where their symptoms resurface? How do you manage this recurrence, and any tips please??
Thanks.

How long have you been on HRT

A couple of years but it's been a roller coaster as my original Px became unavailable so was given an alternative which didn't suit so tried transdermal oestrogen and oral progesterone but didnt absorb the gel so went back on oral HRT.
