I have been on two different HRT preparations - Kliovance and Femoston conti low dose, both of which gave me day long, daily headaches. I am led to believe it was possibly the progesterone to blame ( I had bad PMT most of my adult life) so tried different types to no avail. When I researched (this site and others) the Femoston I also noted down another thing to try if that didnt work. I now have made an appointment for the Doc's (tomorrow!) but I'm not sure why I was to try the other type out! I need to be able to explain to him as the type of GP that doesnt think patients have any say in their own treatment.
I'm sorry, I am going through quite a bad time (still!) with my Graves disease and menopause, and brain fog is massive at the moment. I cannot seem to remember anything at the moment and get very muddled about basic stuff. Can someone help me work out why I may have noted down Oestradiol valerate (low dose) and Utrogestan 100mg?
My main symptoms are hot flushes (which are affecting my sleep, in turn making my Graves symptoms worse) and dryness.
