I need help and advice please
I have worn 2 x 100mcg evorel patches for the last year after gradually increasing since my surgical menopause in June 15. I go and see Nick Panay in London every 6 months and last Thursday I agreed to have oestrogen pellet inserted (I'm also on gel testosterone, and have been for 1 year, which by the way is amazing!!!)
anyway...
I have had it in for 1 week now and was told to wean off the patches over the next 2 weeks. I took the patches down to 150 after 3 days then on Wednesday at 1 week I went down to 100. well holy shit I felt awful, shaky, sick, headache, brain fog, muscle weakness, achy joints, just bloody awful, so I put on 25 (125) yesterday and still felt bad then this morning I added another 25 (150 again). I still feel horrific!, anxious, depressed, negative thought pattern, I feel like I did at my worst after surgery.
I'm now freaking out that its the pellet causing the symptoms and not me lowering the patches. Not sure what to do!!
I need reassurance or at least someone who can guide me though it!
