I had been in Peri since I was 40 and the symptoms were gradually getting worse, so I decided to go on hrt in February this year and dr started me with femoston 1-10 which showed no change after 3 months. I started to suffer bladder problems with blood in my urine and dryness so it was decided to put me on 2/10, which worked for about the first 2 months. Femonston 2/10 has now stopped working altogether and all my symptoms are gradually returning including my hair loss, anxiety, aches and pains to name a few and also I have these outburst were I feel like I'm going mad. Has anyone experienced this!

    Hi Barbara

    Sorry your going through such rough time. I do empathise with you having started Peri symptoms at 45.  I have been on HRT since Feb 18 and have been tweaking to help with symptoms (currently on Estrogel and Utrogestan). It would be worthwhile you getting refered to a dedicated Menopause Clinc (Im in the UK was referred to Chelsea and Westminster hosptial). Alongside my hrt I take, magnesium (joint pain) Vitamin D, magnolia and Vit E and staflower (for periods of anixety). Iike you I have tremdous thining and dry breakage to my hair suffering hairloss so about 2 weeks ago I started with liquid Biotin for support.  Alongside my hrt I have now been prescribed testostrone gel that is supposed to support mood and fatigue ( It can take 4 months to build into the body). Its scary when you feel your losing control  I have been there. Please do persue getting more help and do try some extra supplements. We do you live ?

      Hi Elaine, thank you for your reply I started peri when I was 40 and I'm 45 now, I will certainly try some supplements that you have suggested. What is magnolia? I haven't heard of it. I'm going to my Drs again this week to see if they can help as the hrt has just stopped working. In answer to your question I live in Liverpool.

      Hi Trish it's just awful how this just controls are lives, and the way we do things. I thought the menopause was about hot flushes but it's really opened my eyes how much suffering us women actually go through. I really hope they keep ur hrt going and thanks for your reply I will go back to the Drs again x
