Hello ladies
I’m currently going back to gel after the shortage debacle and a failed trial on patches.
I’ve been a few days on 2.5 pumps (splitting 2 am and half pm to try and reduce night sweats). I was on gel for a long time previously with good control as I’m post meno (I think but now I’m beginning to wonder. I’m 54). I was using 3 pumps in the morning.
In the last couple of days I’ve had a massive spike in my symptoms, continual raging flushes, night sweats pins and needles, itchy and dizzy, crushing fatigue. It’s been like going back to my early bad peri days when starting HRT 8 years ago. Just as bad.
Any thoughts about what I should do? I’m only a week into 2.5 but it’s getting progressively worse. Should I wait a while longer before putting up to 3? Trying to be patient but it’s really awful.
I’m assuming I’ve had a radical drop in my own production and maybe this is it? I thought we needed less as we got older?
Thanks for any help, as always.
