Hi girls,
I know the answer but sometimes you need others to say it. I've been on bhrt since March, been doing okay. We can't get testogel in the UK anymore, and so I be been waiting to start a new gel but been off it for about 5 days. This afternoon I've hit the wall, feel scared, upset, sad, angry, sick, headache, dizzy etc. Now the logical side of me knows it's withdrawal, but the frightened 5yr old is worried I'm completely crazy. Please could you spare some time to put my mind at ease, I'm worried. Thankyou for reading xxx

Hi Sassy, Gosh, I am sorry you feel awful. I feel like hell too. Questioning everything! Almost passed out putting my younget on the bus. Dizzy, nauseous, headache brewing...period just ended...what gives! It’s noon and I have not said a word to anybody in my house. I am sorry I cannot help...but hopefully it will pass! You always breathe such positivity into these discussions. 😉

Thanks Lou, that means so much. I do try really hard to maintain positivity, just escaped me this afternoon. You know what it's like, it's difficult to get perspective when every nerve is telling you you're in danger! That'll teach me a) not to skip hypnotherapy, b) not to let the testosterone run out c) to fall into old patterns! I've mowed the grass, drunk a load of water, and I'm in the process of sucking it up. Just felt like I could do with a big hug.... Thankyou!..... Now go talk to someone in your house

P. S Lou, that last bit was a joke. You don't have to talk to anyone unless you want to ? xx

It should still be in your system ? It takes weeks months I believe to leave you.

Hi Lori
Thanks for your post. I'm also extremely sensitive to meds, so it may be that it stays in your system but you can guarantee if anyone's gonna see a change it'll be me! 😬 X

Please pardon my ignorance but why testogel? Is that part of HRT? I feel same symptoms, going through peri and last 6 months been hell. I'm on low dose birth control. It's not helping much.

Hi dramisha
As Lori said, it boosts confidence, libido, helps with the anxiety too. It was just part of my prescription when I saw a specialist in the nuffield, Bristol. I have to say that the first time trying bhrt about 2 yes ago, I had boundless energy and definitely saw a difference in sex drive..... This time not so much. I've managed to work out the new doseage of the replacement so hopefully back on track xx

At the time I couldn't get my gp surgery to support the prescription Lori, and it was really expensive. Not all doctors in the UK are into bhrt, they generally prescribe synthetic solutions, which didn't suit. When I had my crash this year they gave in
