I'm hoping for some advice from you knowledgeable people on a couple of things. Firstly, I have been using Evorel 50 patches for 6 years, I'm now 56. Last period at age 50. I had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed 12 months ago. I did try a couple of months without Evorel but had awful symptoms return so I'm happily back on them. My question is, can I stay on them indefinitely? I'm slim and fit, no breast cancer in my family. Is 50 considered a high dose to use long term?
Second question relates to my complete loss of libido for the last 6 months, it's like the switch has been turned off, no desire, no response, nothing at all! I've never experienced such an absence of feeling before and I'm seriously worried and also very sad. I don't feel like me, very weird, like my brain and my body aren't connected anymore. My body feels incredibly tired and I need a lot of sleep these days. I'm not depressed in any way. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me?
