I know it will end one day but when , and thats what's hard not knowing
hope you feel better soon

The first lot of HRT I was on helped but then they were no longer available, so they gave me patches I was ok for about a year and then they stopped working .Gave me some more tablets but gave me a bad headache, so now on elleste duet 2mg, but the last 2 months feels like I am burning all the time usually feel like just before a period
Now been told that elleste duet no longer available got a month left so don't know what I will do as the lady doctor that deals with all of this does not like HRT and told me what do I expect at my age 50 in July and that ladies in the past just got on with it .

Hi Tracey
I'm 44 and have been in meno for just over a year. Hrt and bhrt has helped me significantly. I'm not sure which ones you've used but I started with bhrt which was great for 7 months but then I felt my symptoms including terrible anxiety, started to return. I changed to kliofem hrt 3 months ago and it's balanced out again. Like you, I've managed to stay in work but it can still be a bit up and down. Counselling etc is always good, but I found with the anxiety being driven by hormones, I didn't get much relief because I wasn't consciously able to control it. Instead, I rely on mindful meditation and relaxation, walking, supplements and cbd oil. I also suffered horribly with water infections, but this calmed down when the right hrt kicked in. How long have you been on them? It can take 3 months to get the full effect, or it could be that you haven't found the one that works best for you Xx

I use the meditation apps which help just hope I wake up one morning and feel just normal.

I really know how you feel Tracey. I was so upset when I had to swap the bhrt. I'd had such a good result that I'd forgotten how awful I'd felt before, and when I had the same symptoms it knocked my confidence back again. It seems to be that 3 months is the thing to aim for. I'm not sure what the logic was in putting you back on the same ones, jut maybe it will be a better result this time.... But, if you find they are not for you, go back and tell him you want something else. I'm on kliofem now, and the anxiety is more manageable but I'm back to no sex drive, aches and tired. I'm going to see how it goes again and at some point when I can be arsed, get a private apt with a menopause GP and try bhrt again. The meditation does help so stick at it, and use it as a countdown to your 3 months. Get out as much as you can in the fresh air, and maybe keep a bit of a journal on how you're doing. It's really hard to see how far you've come sometimes, but hang in there, you're doing great xx
