Dear all. I started going through an early menopause at 41 (eight years ago). At the time it was a shock, as i had been trying to get pregnant (new husband had no children and was great with mine). I began to suffer from every menopause symptom know to woman and was experiencing at least fifty hot flushes daily. Suffice to say; i didn't feel human at all. I took many, many natural remedies and none worked. In the end my doctor gave me Climagest 1mg HRT.
I felt like a new woman and my life became my own again. It was truly amazing. However, i have now been taking climagest for five years. A doctor six months ago, said i could remain on it for a few years more, but my recent check up (another doctor) says that i have to come off it. Luckily he gave me a last six month prescription, when i nearly broke down in tears.
I know that the longer i remain on it, there are more chances of other nasty things happening to me, but i can honestly say that i am terrified of suffering the symptoms i did when it all began.
Does anyone know of others who have been on climagest for longer, or anyone who knows the best way of coming off climagest? It is a combined HRT? What happens if all the symptoms come flooding back??
I can be brave if i get just a few symptoms back... Please help!!!
