Hello ladies. I thought I'd post an update on my HRT experience. I've been taking Climesse for six weeks now and have noted some changes. The constant and intense jittery feeling has gone thankfully, my breasts are a little tender and my vaginal discharge has increased but is okay. So, all good right? well, I'm as anxious as ever and the hot flushes and feelings of panic are still bothering me. So basically although there has been some improvement I'm still utterly fed up. I was so hoping to feel normal with this HRT, especially as I'd tried so hard to do without it, now I'm as despairing as ever.
I'm 56 and my last period was nearly three years ago and I can honestly say I've been a nervous wreck since then. The simple things I could cope with in the past leave me floored right now, just the thought of doing anything out of the ordinary sends me into a panicky spin. Fortunately I can get round the shops and do some chores but I dread having to chat to people while they tell me about their wonderful lives and I feel so sad and jealous. Will I ever be normal again? I actually met a friend yesterday who told me that she didn't have any problems with the menopause, not one. She rides a motorbike all over Europe and has a great time. I almost wished the dreaded VA would put in an appearance, she wouldn't be so smug then. You see, not only am I miserable, I'm becoming nasty with it!
Sorry to go on ladies, but I'm truly fed up with trying to deal with these horrible feelings. I spent yesterday evening in tears, I honestly don't know which way to turn.
I have an appointment with my GP tomorrow but I assume she'll say just carry on with the Climesse and see if there is any improvement when the first three months are up.
Any advice or comments would be gratefully received. Thank you so much for reading.
K.
