hello everyone,
I had a bit of a scare in January and the doctor told me to stop HRT immediately. The cancer triage clinic gave me the all clear after various bloods/tests/scans etc. But my doctor would like me to have a break from HRT to see how I am. I was on Evorel Conti for two years. I'm 49 and had my last period at 45.
So, having gone cold turkey - ive got a fabulous array of symptoms now hitting me.
I've got headaches, I'm bad tempered and tearful, have joint pain, and am getting approx 8 hot flushes every hour - followed by what I call 'the freezes?. Sleep appears to be a thing of the past as a result of the flushes/freezes.
Does anyone know if this is likely to settle down, if this is simply ?cold turkey? or if this is what I'm dealing with long term? Anyone have any similar experience?
The doctor suggested waiting 3 months before I am reviewed again and then possibly referred to the menopause clinic.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
I'm trying to look on the positive side, so any advice or shared experiences would be welcome!
Thank you,
D.
