Nas, you sound the same as me. My period stopped in nov 2018. I put up with symptoms until last year, so 2021…. HRT made me bleed very heavily, and also really mentally messed me up.
I’d never had hormones before either, being a migraine sufferer. I’m also 50 so the same age as you.
I’m very sensitive to hormones obviously ( and a lot of other medication) and it might be that you are too.

Maybe have a break from HRT and try natural remedies?

What are the main symptoms you deal with off HRT?

Yep Suzy, we are very similar then.

I’ve never taken any hormones in my life and I don’t think they really agree with me either.

My main issues include  bladder irritation ( which only calms on the right dose of systemic Hrt AND vagifem) else I’m stuffed and low mood / irritability and anxiety. Libido has gone on the oral Hrt too.

All in all, life has become tough. This is the 4th year now and I’m feed up.

How are you getting on ? Xx

[Suzysheep]

I’m wondering if you can be referred for pelvic floor physio. That might help with the bladder irritation?

Are you taking the martazepine for the low mood/ anxiety?

I’m doing ok. I still get bouts of anxiety, but nothing compared to last year. Hot flushes bother me still… and the fatigue is still a problem. Libido is somewhere back in 2018 I think! Lol

lol @2018 libido !! Same here Suzy

I take amitryptiline for sleep now, it’s not bad, 25mg.

Somehow I get what I need to done. Life is a bit up and down anyway. I want to move further south, but got to wait for teens to finish education and I’m feeling like I want to upsticks now!

Loads to do on house before we can try and sell..

Life ! X

[Suzysheep]

Maybe a higher dose of amitryptiline would help the anxiety?

It’s a trying time of life for sure!

We would love to spend time abroad, but have to wait until youngest is self sufficient and set up for independent life… might take a long while as he is autistic with learning difficulties.
