Thanks for listening about my hrt

Posted , 7 users are following.

its really lovely to know that everyone out there is so supportive, I miss talking to my mother, we were very close and it's so nice to know that just talking on here, I can be heard and not ignored, especially with all the traumas in life, I just feel very lonely, I have my 18 year old daughter but she is off to uni next year, my son this year, so I feel many changes will happen in the next couple of years, I have no support from my partner but I have got used to that, he also drinks heavily every weekend and occasionally in the week, straight vodka, maybe 1 litre in 2 nights on its own and I've never had to deal with this before but at this moment in time I'm just ignoring it until I've got the strength to tell him to go, the patches seem to be helping me cope better whereas before I just wanted to give up on everything, thanks for listening x confused

    This is a hard time...I remember when my kids were little and women especially whose children were older would say to me..."oh I miss those days" and they would have these lost sad faces..I never got it...but now today with two off at college and my last in his senior year I am like...oh,..okay I get it now..! Lots of transition during this time of life..lots! I am glad you have this website to see what else is going on and that we are all going through it, this helps a great deal for sure! Good luck to you!

    Hi louise, i'm so sorry to hear your having such a hard time, I'm obviously in peri and having all the unusual dibilitating symptoms which is in its seft enough to cope with but i do have a supportive husband but i do understand about the loneliness, my son has left home, my mother died when i was 17 and my sister who's 4 years older than me just avoids me, i think she thinks i'm making all this up cos she has had nothing, her periods just stopped.  I also feel for you with a drinking husband as i was a PA to a alcholic for 9 year and he was making me ill.  You must do what ever is best for you and the patches are helping thats all good cos at this stage in your life you need something to get you through these hard times so lift your head up and tell yourself you can do it, were all with you on here and i have had so much support from everyone so you will too.  keep talking to us it will help.  sending you a comforting hug x

    Hi Louise,

    which patches did you choose that are helping you so well? Got Doctors appointment to discuss my perhaps changing over to the patches instead of the HRT tablets which I am at the present taking! 

    Massive hugs to you sweets and remember you can always come here as these ladies are all so lovely and supportive and will go out of their way to help! 

    Take care. Joy xxxcool

      Hi Joy, I'm on the patches called evorel conti, the physical difference also is that my bust size has gone up, so I'm not complaining, good luck x

    Great to know the patches are working for you.  About your kids, it must not be easy when the nest gets empty but at least you get the grandkids...  someday, right. Sorry to know about your partner, I hope you can figure it out.  Hgs.

      Thanks so much for everyone's support, I didn't have a good day today but it's nice to know I can share it, my partner has already drank half a bottle of vodka this evening, but I will stick to my plan of action, at least I'm not so anxious on the patches

      Hi Louise I just joined this site tonight as I have been having menopause symptoms for a long time (sweats, flushes, mood swings, crazy anxiety, brain fog etc) I was prescribed Evorel Conti patches today and have just slapped one on my fat ass! :D I got weighed at my GP surgery and have put on over two stones in a few months sad I was already obese but it's just getting out of hand, so hopefully these patches will make me feel better in myself and can do something about the weight. So sorry to hear that your relationship with your partner isn't going well........you're better off without that kind of negativity in your life.  I know what it's like to hang on to familiar situations because you fear the alternative, but believe me once you just have yourself to think about it will be better all round. Good luck and feel free to contact me anytime.....we can go through it together smile
