Hi Hurdity, I've just posted this somewhere else on the site. I'll get used to it soon
My last period was about 10 years ago. The sweats have died down quite a lot during that time. The irritability still remains. But it's mainly the lack of sleep for the 10 years. It's taken quite a toll. Hence my visit to the doctors.
May I ask a question please?
My doctor has prescribed me Prempak-C for my Insomnia & Mood swings.
The first 2 weeks (with 1.25mg Estrogens only) I began to sleep better & was a little less moody.
When I then added the .15MG Norgestrel it all went t**s up. My sleep patterns were back to non-existent & I was sooooo moody. I also had a lot of breast pain.
I looked up why they Norgestrel is needed & saw that it protects the user of Estrogens from potential Endometriosis or womb cancer. So I can't just stop that part.
But I was wondering if there are any alternative HRT treatments, using different drugs. I'd like to check this before I take it all to the doctors.
Can anyone help please?
