Thank you so much, girls! If I could clone him, I would! He says it doesn't matter why a person is in distress or what the treatment needed is - be it HRT, talk therapy, AD's, psychotropics etc - each of his patient's is different and his job is to offer empathy and support and to ease suffering however he can. ALL of his patients love him (his clinic always runs late because he spends so much time with each patient, but none of us mind waiting)!
Dear Annie! Gosh - I think, just think you might be hitting estrogen deficiency. When I discussed Tibolone with Prof. Lumsden, she thinks this is what happened when I was on it (I hit it pretty fast as I had only been faffing with ERT, but must have had some store - it's taken until now to truly hit the bottom of the jar). She also said Tibolone can be a bit unpredictable - could it be be as your E is very low with dissolved ovaries, that it's now purely converting to E do you think, but not enough?
Are you also still aching badly all over? I've got the aching toes, soles of feet, neck and shoulders, hips etc.
Would you consider going back on the patch only, say at 25 and titrating to 50? It may just be enough, and you could avoid the jittery nastiness hopefully! And - I highly recommend talking to Diane, she gives great advice on troubleshooting if she can. She's giving me another wee call tomorrow morning.
Sending you biggest hugs - WHY CAN'T HRT BE STRAIGHTFORWARD!!! AAAAAARRRGGHH!!!!! xxxxx
