Hi
its been a while but I need some advice, I suffer badly from headaches, I am on 4mg of oral HRT, didn't really want the pills but my GP is a bit of a bully , I was on 100mg of Estradot but my levels were so low I needed to double it but he wouldn't doulbe the patch , he said the pills are fine, so he said I will top the patch up with 2mg of Zumeron (pills), I did and was not too bad , then had to go back to review it and get my repeat and he turned round and said he wasn't giving the patch, I was to have 4mg of the Zumeron, that was in January but last week my headaches got bad so I went back to my GP and he told me to try Amitrplyine again, he said start with 5mg, but they make me feel A. spaced out, B. have no get up and go, also afraid to put weight on as I have lost nearly 1 1/2 stone in the last 4 months , don't know what to do, been google search HRT and headaches and all I see is that the transdermal route is the best route to try but the GP just don't listen, he also thinks that 4mg is far too much but the consultant has said its what my body needs and I am to stay on that dose till I am about 50 to 52 yrs old, I have made an appointment for Friday with another GP but I am not sure if he help, what shall I ask for as my OH says that 2 patches is silly and to try the gel, I am so confused, I need help, these headaches feel like my head is too heavy for my neck, like pressure at the back of my head and a stiff neck, also feel abit sicky, so sorry to go on again but they are horrible headaches, everything else menopause wise are fantastic, sex is fab again, no hot flushes, I feel sort of normal again except for these blinking headaches x
