Hi all,
I've been on hrt since august; on patches and 100g utro PV.
I increased my estraderm patch to 50mx saturday.
Main issues for me are anxiety and insomnia I no longer have hot flushes, night sweats.
Thing is I always slept well, and my sleep to be honest has gotten better a little; however I still get a few nights a week where I only get about 2 or 3 hours sleep. Literally lying awake trying to nod off.
I'm desperately trying to get my sleep back into some sort of pattern.
I put my patch on my left side when I changed it yesterday, I know this sounds silly but has anyone noticed that their patch doesn't seem to 'work' as well on the left side of their body? i may be clutching at straws here.
I don't know whether it's just, this is my sleep pattern now, even on hrt or whether I'm not absorbing the patches.
I just would like to get to the point where I'm not frightened to go to bed.
The early days of insomnia were truly horrific and whilst my sleep has gotten better slightly, I suppose I'm scared that my sleep will now not get back to where it was.
Thanks xxx
