Hi and thanks DG. 2 days off the oestrodose my headaches went, I felt my mood lift and generally felt much better. Whatever it is they do differently with the gels I can't work out but I'm verr sensitive to any meds and obviously hormones too. I used patches for a few days until the oestrogel came back in I was feeling quite good again. Started taking the oestrogel (not oestrodose) and have given up after 3 days back on it as if just doesn't seem to suit me at present. Night sweats, tired, foul mood, hate everyone waking again, my hair is coming out in handfuls, skin and hair dry, skin on fingers cracking again blah blah the list goes in. Patch on this morning and again my mood had lifted! Will see how I go on patches for 2 weeks then go back to gp to ask to go back on patches permanently if working well.
I can't work it out, maybe I'm absorbing gel too well or not absorbing? Also the risk of getting back to a steady place on the gel to be told again few months down the line; no supplies, is just too much to take on board. I've had a rollercoaster month all down to these bloody gels and just want to feel okay again x
