Hi everyone. I was inspired by the care and kindness shared among everyone on this forum and joined yesterday. This is my first ever post anywhere - had to look up how to do it - and I am pretty sure it'll disappear into the ether ! I came off low dose combined HRT 5 months ago, having been on it about five years, since I was 53. HRT was wonderful for me. I was freed from flushes, night sweats, a real dip in my confidence,forgetfulness, poor sleep. Flushes and sweats are on the way back again, along with joint pains (??) and irritability which I haven't been prone to. Wondering about going back on HRT. If anyone has advice either way, I would be grateful to have it.
