Hi
I'm 51 and been taking transdermal oestrogen and utrogestan for 3 years, and testosterone for about 18 months.
Despite that, I have a persistent problem with daytime sleepiness which is driving me insane as I have a full time job and family.
My oestrogen dose is correct, as the next dose up proved to be too high for me when tried it. I've had blood tests for thyroid function, anaemia, liver function, vitamin D, glucose amongst other things and all results were normal.
I do a lot of exercise which helps, and I don't drink much alcohol. My GP says there's nothing we can do about it. My menopause specialist suggested increasing my testosterone dose to the recommended one (I use less than the recommended amount).
Does anyone else have this problem and how are you managing it? I'm at my wits' end with feeling like my brain has turned to treacle!
