GP started me on tibalone, helped with menopause symptoms but I had three "episodes" which made me feel so bad: headaches,dizziness,memory loss,speech,balance,walking,exhaustion etcetera:awful.
Then moved to oestrogel (two pumps) and utrogestan seven days out of twentyeight: periods started very light but got progressively heavier until I started getting interim spotting after seventeen months:had had polyps many years ago so stopped. Meno symptoms great during hrt but the side effects still there but not as severe as with tibalone, headaches, ringing in ears and disconnect to feet pain in legs.Periods of something I call miniflu.
Referred to gynacologist 're intermittent bleeding but because I'd had no bleeding since quitting hrt it was probably a dosage issue and that at my age I could probably try continuous hrt but I'm too scared due to previous side effects : the gynacologist described hrt as a "whole body" treatment and thought it possible I'd just get the same side effects.
