yes, I've tried a few HRT regimes, even the "gold standard" of Estrogel and Utrogestan at different dosages but unfortunately I get neuralgia in my trigeminal nerve (both sides), jaw pain and pounding, crushing headaches with HRT. Very rare symptoms it seems, and ones that every GP I have spoken to treats with skepticism to be honest but after 4 1/2 years of suffering I've managed to work out that the HRT is definitely what's causing those symptoms.
Sad I can't use it as it definitely helps with the joint pain, night sweats, etc and I would use HRT in a heartbeat if I could but all the head and face pain is too severe on a daily basis for me to use it. I've also had my testosterone levels checked but was told they were OK so I guess I need to find some other way to help alleviate the pain.
I'll take a look in the alternative section to see if there's any suggestions
