Hi all!
I am 49, been on HRT since 2020 and currently on 4 pumps of oestrogel (increased from 3, 6 weeks ago as the hot flushes were back with a vengeance) progesterone 100mg daily. Hot flushes have subsided thank god, as have the feelings of anxiety etc.
I have had a bad heat rash on my chest and also very itchy behind my knees…I’ve never suffered with this before and I’ve started taking an antihistamine…question is, is this ok with the HRT?
I have a telephone appt with the menopause clinic in July (2 year wait) I initially went private in 2020 as was at my wits end and the GP wouldn’t entertain HRT (I can’t afford private appt now) I do have it prescribed on NHS but have no help or advice so just work it out myself.
I’m worried that if I need to up the gel again at some point, the GP won’t allow me more…is that something they can do?
Thanks 🙏🏼
