Hello
I joined some time ago and my previous forum visit was in 2014, so an oldie but a newbie.
I had an ovary removed in 2004 due to dermoid cysts which returned and I had my right ovary removed in 2011. I did 5 years on HRT, which helped me with my weight, as I lost 3 and a half stone in that time.
I was told that after five years I needed to come off HRT so I havent had any for about a year.
During the glorious hot summer weather I was getting hot at bed time and thought it was due to the weather. Since the cooler nights I've found that I'm still having hot flushes and I'm tossing and turning.
I've had a bit of a stressful year with me leaving employment after 15 years and a close relative passing away.
I've been feeling a bit low and fed up.
I've been to the Doctor today who said that I should consider going back onto HRT, which I don't really want to do.
I'll have a read on the forum to see what else people are using for hot flushes and what might work best for me.
