Just found out there are none to be found! my doc has let me know. I realized there was a shortage but it all seems sudden now. Not sure what to do, they have offered me femoston tablet form but I am not happy with concerns about blood clots. I dont think my circulation is the best as have raynauds.
doctor said my options are to take the tablet, or alternatively to try weaning off patches. I agreed to this but a bit unsure, she suggested to extend the length of time I wear 1 patch so instead of my usual 2 patches a week to wean off by using 1 a week for a month, then extend to each patch thereafter for 10 days a patch. I have 8 patches left so figure I make these last a couple of months instead of the usual month for 8 patches.
Very confused, as I have read that some people cut their patches. Perhaps I would be better to cut them half?? and space them out that way rather than extending each patch.
HELP!! I have been on these patches for over 10 years, early menopause. Panicking. as heard that evorel sequi may not be available till later in 2020
So my question is cut in half or extend the wear of each patch?? I figure cutting in half keeps things in a better sequence as 4 evorel sequi and 4 conti patches. I think my body would be out of sorts if I take docs advice by extending each patch, I am now thinking this is poor advice and cutting them makes more sense. What do you think? Anyone help or advice would be so appreciated.
