hi
im in menopause have been having strange sensations. initially i got the hot flashes that would come and go in few minutes then i started getting a warm feeling in my back which followed 2 weeks later like my back is burning. its almost constant during day but worse at night waking me up at 3am then cant fall back asleep.
my gp put me on femoston 2/10 but 6 months on still have it.

I've had acid reflux and bloating for 3 years. My stomach is so sore. had endoscopy all clear apart from mild gastritis. I feel like my stomach is going to explode with all the tightness and bloating

yep get all that other crap too, painful bloating, no appetite, constant nausea, weight lose, dizzyness, unbalanced, jelly legs, no motivation, low mood, i do believe a lot is anxiety caused by falling hormones. i can feel my legs buzzing now i basically get up from & cannot wait for nightime to get back into bed :0(

my gp says its related to hot flashes but if it was why hasnt hrt helped
just wonder re these doctors
sometimes my back cools down then heats up but internally im constantly hot
i just wonder if it is nerve pain and if i should get a scan done

yes might be worth asking for a scan, seems a lot of doctors blame everything on a virus or muscular! im sat now & its burning low down really painful maybe you need a stronger hrt dose? im on a 50 patch but added an extra half this morning see if it helps, woke feeling quite jittery & exhausted even though ive been in bed for 9 hours x

im on femoston 2/10 i do feel these tabs arent working but when i say anythinh to my gp he suggests i see encrinologist which im seeing in a month.
wont even change my hrt as ive heard the patches work better

i think the problem with hrt is it isnt one size fits all! ive read women who try several different types before they fine one that actually works, im now wondering if i should try the gel or even the contraceptive pill which can even out your hormones its an absolute exhausting nightmare. i was on femoston 2/10 for just 5 weeks but had to stop because i got so bloated but maybe i should of given it more time x

i know this burning in my back is relentless & constant. my gp put me on amitryptiline aswell was on it for month then stopped. now as u say ur dr says its tension so should i even be on hrt or should i go back on the amitryptiline. this menopause just creates havoc on our minds

its a difficult one i dont really feel any big improvement on hrt but i know you need to give it 3/6 months for the hormones to get back into your system, i guess i will go back to gp about back & she'll try another pill i would think. its an exhausting minefield, today my backs killing me, i feel nauseous & my eyes just want to close im so tired x
