Hi, thanks so much for the replies. I think my fear was that it could be doing some kind of harm in swapping from one to another. I think i will have a proper chat with my UK GP in July about the differences and then go back to the doctor I visited in the UAE who was helpful but wanted to immediately refer me for more invasive treatment which they tend to do out here because its all based on insurance claims. I do want to explore coming off HRT anyway and this could be the time to seriously consider it.
To answer your questions its three hours ahead here and very sunny and always hot!!
Thanks once again for your replies, much appreciated Daisie
