Hi All, new to this wonderful resource and have lots of learning to do. In terms of my background, I think I was Peri-Menopausal for most of last year, and only recently reached out for medical help. I have missed (now) two periods and with some really challenging symptoms for the past 6 months. I originally thought I was suffering depression and insomnia alongside a stressful job, but after speaking to some friends and a nurse at my local surgery, the last 12 months are starting to make a lot more sense. The last 3 months I’ve had a lot of hot flush episodes throughout the night, coupled with tummy aches, general aches and pains and struggling to make it through the day, to the point of taking a short career break. I’m sure you guys have all heard it before, but I had no idea that the Menopaise can make you feel so unwell. I’ve only had a chat with a senior nurse practitioner so far, who prescribed Evorel Sequi (50) to get me started pending other blood tests to rule out anything else. My prescription advised to take the Evorel 50 twice weekly for two weeks within 5 days of my period (that I haven’t had for 2 months) and follow by Evorel Continue for two weeks. How should I calculate/take this in the absence of periods to time it correctly? Your help and advise hugely appreciated. Karen 😊
