Hello
I'm going to ask what might sound like a daft question. I'm a bit tired and fed up and doubting myself.
I've just swapped from Femoston 2/10 to Femseven Sequi (17 hours in and the patch is still on! Yay!!)
I think I've not been absorbing the tablets for the past few months, so low on hormones, hence the switch.
Today I feel really rubbish, with all the symptoms I've had since March which I assume to be linked to low oestrogen:
I feel half baked.
I wake up damp although not wet.
I sleep badly - seem to be in a very light sleep which I wake from frequently. I don't feel "rested" when I wake
I have the odd weird "moment" during the day - difficult to explain exactly what it is, just a bit spacey I suppose.
I have difficulty concentrating at work - not very productive today.
I'm headachey and feel very tired, tearful and irritable
But also - and this is the bit I'm querying - my head feels buzzy and woolly, my sinuses feel really blocked and painful, my voice is croaky and my throat feels dry and congested and my tinnitus is much worse. It's really getting me down and I hope I'm doing the right thing. Does anyone else get this? These are low oestrogen symptoms aren't they? I'm not barking up the wrong tree here? The drenching night sweats and hot flushes that I had pre HRT are not happening, and these are the more classic low oestrogen symptoms aren't they?
Also I'm not expecting to feel great today, I realise that if my logic of low oestrogen is right then it will take time for things to settle and I'm hoping a transdermal HRT will give me a more stable dose. I guess I'll just have to suck it and see. We are all so different after all - but does anyone else get the sinus/throat/ear congestion thing, and do you associate it with low or high oestrogen?
Sorry. I've waffled on and on ... I'm not sure I'm making much sense ...
RR xx
