Thanks all - I am on Elleste Duo Conti tablets 2mg - GP says things may still be settling down as only been three months and the first month was a bit of a nightmare as started on patches then changed to different patches then single dose tablets before getting on to the current tablets so she suggests continuing for the next three months to get a better idea .... my blood pressure was normal; she weighed me but made no comment about my weight
; told her about the instances of crushing fatigue and the upset tummy every morning and I have to go back next week for blood tests and she is referring me about the upset tummy as she says that won't be the HRT. As she didn't comment on my weight but I know I am humungous and feel like I am getting bigger by the minute I stepped on my bathroom scales just now (horrifying) and entered the results on the page on this forum under weight gain - although I am 5'10" it tells me I am obese and at serious risk of health problems if I don't do something about it - what can I do about it?
?? I have drastically cut down on the amount I eat and actually what I do eat is pretty healthy; I do like a Gin and Tonic but other than at my 50th party I don't drink masses (and actually drank a lot of iced water at my party as my hair was soaking due to hot flushes and dancing!!) - I try not to eat too many carbs if any; don't deep fry; sorry -this is turning into a rant now....we are about to rehome a dog so I will be going out for regular walks - I haven't been to the gym in a while as need to replace the gym clothes that now seem so teeny tiny and make me wonder why I felt I needed to go the gym when I fitted in them!!!!
