POST MENOPAUSAL SYMPTOMS
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi Ladies,
I'm new and I don't know where to begin. Here goes, I am 55 and absolutely miserable, like crying miserable. I had a partial hysto in 2006. the rest was taken out about 4 years ago. I've have horrendous hot flashes, like crazy intense on fire hot flashes, my hair has been failing out for quite some time now but no wig yet, my skin is like a leather handbag left out in the Sahara desert forever. I have the worst gas I've ever had. I don't go out in public unless i have too, its that bad. I've had major depression and anxiety my whole life but it has reached bottom levels. Obviously my hair, skin, gas has increased my depression and anxiety. I once went to a gyn about HRT but I'm scared about the side effects, heart, cancer etc. but didn't cover a whole lot because I was against it at that time but I am getting to the point where I'm considering it which scares me even more. I've seen comments about patches being safer. Does insurance cover them, is it expensive? I'm at a crossroad right now. Do I live with these awful symptoms or do I risk my health and increase anxiety? Any comments welcome.

hi Nancy
so sorry to hear how you are suffering. I would definitely consider taking HRT it will help loads with your symptoms plus work wonders for hair & skin. if you have no history of breast cancer your doctor will issue it to you. I don't know about any insurance covering it. I am 47 I've been on it 3 years now it has helped alot. I still have some symptoms which causes me anxiety but I wouldn't be with out HRT now. It's alot safer to take I use body identical evorel sequi patches & utrogestan tablets. Go see your GP and have a good talk about your options xx

sorry i was on everol sequi im now on everol 100 with utrogestan tablets. I think you will be offered the patch or Gel if you have had hysterectomy without the progesterone.
