Newbie Struggling today
« on: April 11, 2023, 07:52:41 PM »

Hey all you lovely ladies

I'm 47 and peri had 1.5 months on Evorel sequi and Evorel conti.

Bad reactions to Evorel conti and feel was reaction to the progesterone. So GP told me to remove patch asap as side effects had me crippled with
extreme bloating, fatigue,  headaches,  and extreme dizziness! I am now on no HRT and getting terrible anxiety again which is starting to take over my life :'( :'( :'(. I am waiting to see a meno specialist but facing a 6 month wait. I am also on contraceptive implant.

I called the office today saying I was struggling and asked to be put on a cancellation list for a sooner appointment. The struggle is getting more and more each day.

I used to be a confident driver now I get panic attacks at the thought of driving at times. I am becoming emotional again outbreaks of crying and then 10 mins later I am ok. The anger and mood swings are creeping back too!!! And aches and joint pain  :'( :'( :'( :'(

I am getting to the stage where I feel I am best not around people at times as I don't know what my anxiety is going to do to me.

My sister has similar symtoms and is 5 years older than me and she is on HRT tablets with are thankfully helping some of her symptoms. One bit of advice she has given me is to try Sleep tea infusion tea before bedtime as this has helped her sleep much better and relax her too as has Chamomile tea. So I will be trying these too.

Thank u for reading my post. I have had a very difficult day today  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Hey there! I've literally just done a search on headaches and dizziness because I've been struggling for a few days now. I'm on Evorel conti, have been for 8/9 weeks. I'm bloated, although I do seem to have lost control of my previously sensible eating, totally exhausted and have had a headache for three days and dizziness which of course have me convinced I've got something bad going on in my brain. I'm gonna stick with this for a final month to reach the three month mark and then think I'll forget HRT altogether! Yes, my overheating episodes are much better and yes, I am definitely sleeping more but I am exhausted still! I had so hoped I would be one of the lucky ones who found the right HRT from the word go.

Hey Elliej

Ahh big hugs!

If only Gps were more knowledgeable about HRT.

I also was overeatting so badly couldnt get full when on Evorel Conti my stomach would be bloated yet the cravings to eat more were coming thick and fast.

It sounds like you may also have an intolerance to the synthetic progesterone like I did.

I am going to ask my GP to prescribe me body identical HRT to see if that is any better for me.

I do hope your symptoms settle on HRT
