Hi ladies,
I'm 45 and have always been full of energy. I've been taking HRT (gel and Utro) for 4 months - my main symptom was waves of anxiety and over thinking. I get random days of ridiculous tiredness which then causes constant dizziness (I am currently getting over labyrinthitis and anything will trigger it). I have kept a journal from when I started the HRT and noticed on my first round of Utro I was very tired after day 5, so I was advised to up my dose to 3 pumps, which I did and the tiredness stopped. Then the following month, I didn't get the tiredness when I was on Utro but in the days after. Now within this month, I developed the tiredness again on day 4 of the Utro....I have finished the Utro a couple of days ago and am now having a period. I am still tired. Does my body need another pump? Am I putting it on at the wrong time? Am I having too much?
I sleep soooo well. Within an hour I'm tired and dizzy (the labyrinthitis). I don't want to stop the HRT as it has helped the anxiety and I have read about the benefits. I really can't keep functioning like this if I suddenly have a run of days where I am feeling so sedated.
I don't know what to do for the best??
Any advice VERY welcome.
Julia
