Hello ladies.
I certainly have had phases in the past pre HRT. The one I mention most often here on the forum is the headaches phase where I woke up with a headache every morning and it lasted until about 9pm when it would disappear completely. I kept a note in my diary and after six months this symptom resolved never to return. A few weeks later I developed the internal shaking feeling and I assumed this would follow a similar course. After more than six months however I worried that this symptom would not resolve on its own and I asked for HRT.
Since then I have felt that various physical symptoms wax and wane and even the emotional ones come and go.
I am post meno by a long way and now use 50mcg of oestrogen gel daily and 100mcg of Cyclogest (progesterone) alternate nights. I still have mood swings but they are my only remaining meno symptom.
I have recently started taking Vitamin D in the hope that this will help to balance my hormones. Time will tell.
I completely agree that we can go through phases of meno symptoms, it is as if different receptors are registering the lack of oestrogen and when they settle down, another set of receptors begin to complain lol.
Obviously the goal is for ALL the receptors to get with the programme so that we can get on with our lives and finally get off the mad meno roller-coaster lol.
Wishing you well ladies and take care.
K.
