HRT Patches Increased - Side effects?
« on: January 13, 2021, 09:25:44 AM »

Hi Everyone
I am 2 years menopause and have been taking Evorel Conti 50mg for over a year and 6 months ago I was getting symptoms again so the doctor increased them by giving me an extra 25mg of just Evorel to wear as well.  After a few months I was getting terrible night and day sweats (worse than I had before I went on HRT) so the doctor increased it again by 25mg but put in a prescription for Fem7 100mg.  These are currently out of stock  :-\ so I have been using one Evorel Conti 50mg and two Evorel 25mg.  The excessive sweating seems to have decreased but I have developed a really sore rash on my neck which I have had for weeks now and if I do sweat gets really sore.  I went to the doctors but they said they thought it was some sort of yeast type infection so used Emuviate cream for a week and it went but its back again.  Could it be the patches and am I doing myself more harm than good by using 3 patches? Comments would be greatly received :)
Thank you in advance x
