Hi, I'm new to this forum but not new to menopause having gone through it surgically at 31 and had both ovaries removed due to endometriosis. I'm now 47.
I've been on hrt since my surgery and was quite happy on Prempak C 0.625/0.15 up until October 2017 when I was told by GP it had been discontinued

. This is when all my troubles started. The GP in her ignorance started me on Premique low dose continous combined. I took it and within a couple of weeks started with light headed dizziness and crushing fatigue. I went back to GP She changed me to another hrt Kliovance 1mg continous combined..no change to side effects but added was headaches to the point of being sick. Third time back to GP and yet another hrt, this time Elleste duet 2mg which made me unwell also. I then asked GP to refer me to specialist who I saw last week and I've been started on Cyclo Progynova 2mg cyclical hrt..like my old favourite Prempak C..which will give me a period. 6 days into taking Cyclo Progynova and the fatigue and brain fog has disappeared but not the light headed spinning sensation when I sit up/lie down/tip head back/forward to quickly. I've been plaqued with this sensation for months and I've never experienced anything like it before with any other hrt. Specialist thinks and I agree I'm progesterone intolerant..medoxyprogesterone and northisterone..so therefore intolerant of the combined/continuous hrts.
I guess my questions for this forum is
1. can anyone advise if dizziness will pass in time?
2. Can anyone advise if Prempak C has definitely been discontinued and why? I was so happy and content on it and never experienced any problems.
3. Why are the so called health professionals finding it hard to prescribe me an alternative?
I'm also suffering for the first time ever anxiety/nervousness but it's no wonder with the dizziness/light headed feeling.
I'm currently on sick leave from work and have been for a month and can't see me going back anytime soon! I work for the NHS as well. The specialist I'm seeing also advised me to look at this website.
I'm sorry about the long post. I'm really fed up with this dizzy feeling and want my life back! My daughter needs all sorts doing to get her ready for prom and I'm unable to do it at the moment. Frustrated and upsetting. Feel very let down by the GP..They need educating!
Thanks in advance for any advice 😊
