Hi My name is Janet and I was diagnosed with POF when I was 23 - think it happened in my teens - and have been on HRT since then.. Over that time my breasts have grown (now enormous) and I have steadily put on weight, which I can't shift no matter what I do. I suffer with autoimmune issues - and my doctor thinks that I have Sjogren's syndrome - I have times when my health suffers - breathing issues, strange skin rashes, fatigue, receding gums and general dental issues...
So I have had enough, and with some research and the more I read, it really sounds like HRT for long periods of time is not good for you and causes all sorts of issues.
At the moment, my doctor says that I cannot stop HRT until I am 50 (I am 49
![Huh? ???](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/huh.gif)
) - I have recently changed from femoston 2/10 - which I took for a long time, but suffered with really bad PMT and cramps as well as heavy bleeding, quite debilitating. Now I am on femoston conti (Estrogen) for two months now, but still have break through bleeding every 2 weeks....
I am thinking of coming of HRT with homeopathy support and I was wondering if anyone else has found it useful.
Thank you for your feedback and support
Janet
