Wey hey I felt very devilish last night and pushed the boat out and wait for it ....... I added a quarter tablet to my half tablet of toblerone ! Xx

[Tempest]

Bless you, Lil! It's been a loooong road for you already!  I'm feeling your pain - blotchy skin and dry like a reptile. Screaming joints and muscles. Feelings of doom and feel like i'm crawling out of my skin (the worst - it's like a cold turkey scene out of 'Trainspotting'). Aaaaargh!

BUT - today I have been visited by the lady I told you all about (her name is Liz) who had hysterectomy and oopherectomy at 42, did HRT for 5 years and then came off because of SEVERE migraines. There she was today, aged 62 sitting in my very living room looking as fit as a fiddle and sane as a brick. I asked her whether she ever felt like she was going mad when she came off it, and she said 'I didn't, but my Husband thought I was'. Men!!! It took 18 months for her symptoms to go after stopping HRT.

She is so well that she was telling me she got a letter from her GP earlier this year asking if she still wants to be on their books as she never goes to see them....... And she works a demanding job of split shifts (she's a community mental health nurse working in crisis services - that's how I met her).

So - it DOES come to an end. Promise! And you won't shrivel up and die.......even though it feels like it sometimes. So sending you biggest hugs, and masses of Toblerone. We're here for you, every and any day to offer support, hugs (and a few hysterical giggles).

Much love!!

Lil22 it's awful isn't it, but what a wonderful reply from Tempest - bless you darling. Come and shelter with us lot of misshapes, and sometimes we'll try and laugh in the face of our troubles.

Annie a quarter of a tablet more? You'll make Slash from Guns n Roses look tame at this rate!

I'm glad if I made some ladies laugh. 

But please, don't encourage me... I've a rich seam of nonsense, and you might just regret it!

Think the tibolone might be doing something but really not sure what - less freaked out, thinking more clearly, no headache, no dizziness, and not wanting to throw self out of window every second of every day. As Bridget Jones would have said, 'v good progress'.

But still mad tinnitus, burning mouth, and I have a very hot 'fajita'! Swings and roundabouts ladies

Love our little band of fruit and nutcases.

And Tempest I LOVE YOU TOO! I LOVE ALL OF US! xxx

Now I need tissues and a toblerone 😢 Ah that's so nice, it dose make you wonder what the future holds.
It's acne I break out on as some HRT do this, mind I had one a few years ago I think it was lival (not sure spelt it right) and my skin was awful, so she put me on the dianettee pill as used for acne and was best I'd felt in years, but every month I had a migraine, she said she had to take me off it in the end for worry of strokes I even begged her to keep me on it. Only as I felt great.

I think coming off drugs would be easier I tell you my poor body not sure what the hell is going on.
Mind I'm getting reptile arms, must be my skin starting to suffer, at 43 I didn't think I'd have to keep my arms covered they look like I'm 90 at the top of them 👵🏻

And yes bunk alone as I think I need a laugh as i don't laugh I'd end up even more crazy if that's possible 😂 Big hugs xxxx

[Butterfly22]

Laughter is the best medicine girls!

[edelweiss]

Press Release

New research reveals that many women are becoming choco-dominant as a result of overdosing on choc-R-T. Symptoms include nausea, sweats and a raging thirst. Some women even have to get up several times a night because their sheets are covered in discarded wrappers.

Speaking at the annual conference of Choc-R-T practitioners, leading Harley Street consultant Mr Rolo Last told the audience that this condition can occasionally be reversed by the addition of a small serving of custard creams.

In recognition of his ground breaking findings, Mr Rolo Last has been appointed Chairman of the BMS - the Biscuit Marketing Society.

Mr Last said "This research is invaluable to women suffering high choco-levels everywhere. It opens up exciting new options for treatment of choco-dominance, including the judicious use of Jaffa Cakes in the most severe cases".
