I just thought I would let you know how I am getting on. I had my review with my GP yesterday and I must say she was brilliant, she went way over the allotted appointment time to really listen and ask questions about where I am now with regards to everything that's happened over the past two years. We talked about how I had settled on the sertraline. I have been taking it for over two months now and only really have one side affect which is slight restless legs in the evening (not major). AD's have definitely got me to a better place and as I have said before the anxiety is pretty much under control. We talked about what symptoms continue to be an issue for me. Aching bones, hot flushes and constant vaginal itching still cause me a lot of discomfort
I had taken the advice from everyone who replied to my initial post and did some research on HRT so I knew what was out there and what all the possible side affects were, also what the pro's were. My GP said that she felt now was a good time to think about introducing Oestrogel and prescribed one pump per day for the next 3 months to see how I get on and then have another review to discuss if has made a difference. I must say I left the GP surgery feeling like I was holding a golden ticket to Willy Wonkers chocolate factory!!
I had my shower last night opened the pump bottle, looked at it for 20 minutes and then put it back in its box

........... What is that all about? I'll sleep on it was my next thought. This morning I did exactly the same thing. Is it the apprehension of what it may or may not do for me. Is it because of possible side affects? What will happen when I have to come off it? Is it because its the start of another type of journey in this ever changing period of my life? Will I grow horns?
Has anyone else got to this point and felt the same way?
