Morning ladies -or is it afternoon (insomnia again so it feels like the middle of the day!)
I am coming to the end of my first 3 months of HRT tablets and have an appointment with my GP next week to let her know how I am getting on.
The thing is, I am not convinced that I am getting the benefits I had hoped.... my hot flushes have increased both in frequency and intensity (before I was on HRT I was on AD mirtazapine primarily to help me sleep as I had chronic insomnia which led to anxiety and terrible panic attacks but the tablets also seemed to ease the hot flushes which more or less disappeared whilst on the tablets).
I have also noticed that I have an upset tummy most mornings and have to visit the loo several times first thing - I don't know if this is HRT connected or "just another grumble".
I DO feel calmer although certain things still make me anxious - my fear of flying when we went on holiday last month for example, and the latest this week is stressing about my 50th Birthday party this coming weekend (food will be awful, no-one will come, too many will come, music will be terrible, I will make a fool of myself - you name it I am anxious about it - and as a result the insomnia is back)
I am on Elleste Duet Conti 2 mg - maybe it isn't the one for me....
Oh I don't know -it's all ifs buts and maybe's isn't it....
