Recently in the last week started HRT and cannot believe how different I feel mentally and physically.
Because of this and my dr recommending this website I'm now so scared it's all gonna go back the way it was before!
I always thought that because my mum had breast cancer that I couldn't or shouldn't have HRT?
For around 10 to 15 yrs I've suffered with night sweats, hot flushes, skin irritations on face and generally dry skin everywhere ageing me beyond my yrs.
I tolerated it all ignorantly believing it was not an option for me. Lack of sexual desire and the aches and pains were the worst.
I've always been agile and athletic and enjoyed running but it became less and less due to the aches, pains and injuries.
I started studying for a degree a few yrs back and was doing well when anxiety and self doubt led me to a university counsellor which eventually led to a referral and diagnosis for ADHD.
This explained a lot but not the aches and pains and loss of libido.
Last week I thought enough enough and went to see a new GP as my old one just retired.
Already I feel different and believe me I've tried nutrition changes, chiropractic, osteopaths, rheumatologist, massage etc with no change that lasted.
My skin now feels amazing, my mood and outlook have lifted and I feel more like my old self.
Reading posts has made me worry it's just temporary or have I just got lucky?
Do you need to keep reviewing what you take,
Can you take it long term,
Am I in the honeymoon period?
Just waited so long to feel better and don't want to lose it now?
