Hi donnacrichton
I know you've been struggling - and there are not many of us who use this high dose of patch - but as you say you were not absorbing it so hopefully eventually it will settle. It does seem quite a rapid increase but you have given each dose several weeks though - sometimes for some perverse reason, flushes get worse initially on increasing oestrogen - which is counter-intuitive isn't it? We can't really answer for you though as only you can sense what it right in terms of the beneficial effects.
Did you detect any decrease in flushing after 4 weeks on 100 mcg? Did the doc not want to do another blood test before increasing again?
I know I've asked this before but when your oestrogen level is a bit higher could you ask for testosterone - as deficiency in this can lead to fatigue?
Sorry I can't really help but do hope this is going to do the trick this time
