Hi All
I have not been on the site in a long time as things have been fairly smooth menopause wise. I have been on Evorel Conti for about 18months after changing from separate Evorel with Mirena Coil. From the early part of the year I have been feeling increasingly unwell and totally disconnected from everything - have no interest in anything at all. I started sweating badly, particularly on my head. My doctor, who is great felt that I was probably getting depressed and after testing I was low on Vit D (which can cause sweaty head) and iron. Took supplements and agreed to up very small dose of anti depressant I was already on that keeps me on an even keel. I thought I was improving.
I had to have an operation mid November so had to come off HRT a month before. Flushing, sweating etc started to return. After the operation I thought I would persevere without the HRT to see if I could cope but things have very quickly gone downhill with insomnia, intense sweating/flushing bouts when I almost feel like I am going to faint or throw up and total non interest in anything including Christmas! My daughter happened to mention that she noticed when she had been on certain contraception that she totally lost interest in life and so I finally realised it could be the HRT (or lack of it) that was causing my problems. I had no idea that it could stop working or may need changing.
My question therefore - is there an HRT similar to Evorel Conti which may be suitable or advisable to try if Evorel is not working. I know this may be a silly question as everyone is different but thought there may be some advice out there. I was originally put on patches to bypass my liver as I was on Rheumatoid drugs at the time which I came off but have now just restarted in injectable form so patches probably preferable. Please help as I feel I am going mad. I am off work at the moment after operation but want to go back after Christmas but am starting to dread the thought of entering the workplace in the state I am in.
Than
Jan
