Hi Sammas
(and Sheila who has been so helpful)
I promised I would update you when I spoke to my doctor today and between us we have decided that I'm going to come off HRT until they can fit me with a Mirena. She seems to think that most of my issues are coming from the hormonal fluctuations but because neither of us know what my body is up to of its own accord, she wants me to see where I am without it, in case we are adding in more problems by adding in more hormones than we need. My only other option was Oestrogen/gel/utrogestan, which I didn't massively get on with before.
I'm both scared and excited at the same time; frightened that I will go back to daily headaches that were beyond miserable, and a bit curious as to what will happen... I wasn't at the hot flush stage when I started HRT, maybe I will be now
. I am also scared of not having it as a crutch/catch all, to be honest; protection of bones/heart, everything else.
There's about a 1-2 month waiting list for an appointment at the clinic to have it fitted, and that's just for the consultation. Thinking positively, I may even get along without, who knows?
