Hi.

Could the speech thing be related to tiredness? Not only are you working long hours, which will make you tired, but the progesterone in the hrt will make you tired aswell. Double whammy!
I'm on Femoston conti, and it makes me tired. I've now split mine up, because if I take them in the morning, come tea time, I'm treading through treacle, and it's such a battle working the fatigue off whilst sorting our dinners out. ..it seems to be working at the moment, I just have to remember to take it at that different time. 💁🏼♀️
It does sound like your symptoms are all tiredness related. My OH is the same, he works 10 hour night shifts.
Try and get as much rest as you can, sleep as much as you can, and see if things improve. Not easy I know.
