Hi all
OK so some of you know I have had on off problems with HRT - Am on Femoston Conti and downside is depression/mood swings/monthly bleeds.
I can cope with the bleeds no problem but the depression and mood swings was seriously getting out of control............ so finally my doctor has referred me to a meno clinic but whilst waiting and last week I got so down I thought time to ditch the HRT completely so I stopped taking it for two days.
Now I don't know if this is all in my mind, but I seriously felt like my mood lifted, depression gone - just like that....................
Then I got a hot flush so hastily took a tablet and then thought well why not just take one every other day and not every single day as surely then it may help relieve my symptons (hot flushes, night waking to go to loo, sweating) but not give me the downside of mood swings and depression............
So far, it's kind of working but I don't know if this is wise as am having headaches now!
Any thoughts/comments?
Thanks
Anna
P.S Oh but my itchy face (urticaria) has come on with a vengeance! Gosh, if not one thing then the other...............
I think though I could cope with most things but not the depression .
