Sorry to hear you are still feeling rough kerrieann.
It would be good to swap the smoking for the HRT and you may find that deals with your anxiety! In other words you are still smoking because you are anxious but replacing oestrogen may alleviate or lessen your anxiety!

mmm different train of thought hurdity  feeling really rough been for x rays on my pelvis and shoulder this week as my doc thinks it could be arthritis and the anxiety and low feeling are really getting me  down but iam soo worried about smoking and taking hrt that iam going round in circles and the more i stress the more i smoke  i know my  doc said get settled on hrt and then start cutting down on the smoking and i keep telling myself that nothing terrible will happen to me if i take  the hrt for a few weeks till i feel stronger i really gotta sort this

What have you got to loose.

Just remember if it does not suit you can stop......but if it works you will be so much better.

Keep posting and let us know how it goes.

Kerriann,
I took HRT and smoked - no probs. Your doctor is right - take the HRT, hopefully start to feel better then cut down the cigarettes.

Kerrieann - you don't have a good time right now so why not give the HRT a whirl?  As for stopping smoking, that's your choice - there is help out there but if you are in a circle of shall I/won't try with both    ......... what is the worst that can happen?

Have a word with the person at your Surgery who helps people stop smoking?  Get a regime going.  It's like dieting, if we deny ourselves stuff then our brains crave it.  Tell me - do you get up in the night for a ciggie?
