[Hot Flash]

Hi.

I am still experiencing hot flushes. They have reduced but not gone completely. They seem to be particularly bad when I’ve been exercising the same day, I don’t know why. Should I speak to my GP about a higher dose? I’m coming up for eight weeks on the FemSeven Conti 50 patch. I also still have quite a bit of bone pain. I’d like to try the estradot patch and utrogestan gel, as I watched the programme with Davina McColl, not sure if they’re available in the Glasgow area?

I would cut back and alter the type of exercising especially during a heat wave. 

Sometimes the body forgets how to regulate. 

8 weeks is early days.  Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary useful to chart progress.  A record to speak to the GP or Nurse Practitioner with.

As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains.  Do U take pain relief B4 exercising?  Where exactly is the pain, I have a bursisitis which gives me gip in the early hours as well as occasionally sciatica.

No heatwave in Scotland! 😉 It’s also mostly swimming.

It’s bone pain caused by lack of oestrogen.

I need the hot flashes to go, they are very debilitating and are supposed to be the first symptom to disappear when put on HRT. I really don’t think the 50mcg is enough. X
