Well I am now 3 weeks in on the patches and it’s been a rollercoaster. 1st week I felt much better but since it has been very up and down anxiety and sleep wise, flushes are however much better.
I have had some days when I feel my old self completely but it makes the bad days seem almost worse knowing that I can feel better.
The anxiety is coming more in waves now instead of constant but it is also more intense and especially at night.
I am back to waking at 3:30am this week and not really sleeping after that, last night anxiety was particularly bad had to wake my husband to reassure me.
Felt a bit better by about 7am and have been out for a run am having a bath before my on line Thai chi class so hope the rest of the day will be better.
Hoping this is just the patches settling in but will have to wait and see, I had no problems first time I went on HRT so this is new to me
Glad of this forum and all you lovley people on it
