Thank You JulieJ. I know sometimes I think why bother but my last period was in 2017 I think? Meno brain

I initially felt good on HRT but for the last year it has not helped much. I went on it as I had night sweats, brain fog, aches and pains, bladder weakness and bad moods. Now I still have night sweats, anxiety, tiredness, lack of motivation for anything, I just want to sleep and go to bed to shut everything away, I worry about nothing really but cannot help it. In the couple of weeks between the GP saying to stop the patches and starting the gel and provera, I felt not too bad but the bladder issues started really bad, and I could feel the aches coming back but maybe if HRT is not for me I could try the local oestrogen to help with the bladder issues.
Anxiety is horrible and I am lucky in that my O/H is understanding but some days I don’t want to get in the car, or I think something awful is going to happen. It’s not good. Never used to be like this. But in some ways good or not my colleagues think I am a happy laid back person, they come to me with their worries, I must put on a good act
