Menopause and ME/CFS

Hi Ladies,

I'm post menopausal (4 years now) and the hormonal change has unfortunately caused relapses with the ME/CFS during that time. I'm currently going through the 4th relapse now. They last quite a while and I'm bedridden for around 5 months at a time and it's driving me nuts!

I'm trying the HRT again Oestrogel and Utrogestan, a lower dose of the latter spread over a 25 day period per month, as I've struggled with this side of the therapy before.

Are there any other ladies out there with ME/CFS who are going through the same thing? I have had blips before but nothing like this since the change.........

      Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. People get it after usually a virus and they don't make a full recovery. It's like having flu and a hangover combined that doesnt really go away.
