Hello ladies.
Just a quick update from me. I have been reducing my Sandrena gel sachets to a half every morning for the last two weeks, I think this equates to a 50mcg patch.
I am now noticing increased sweating, night sweats are creeping in, tearfulness is such that I nearly cried in the bank and did cry at the dentists. I have also had a few flushes during the day.
I am wondering what to do. I may carry on with the half patch for a little longer to see if things settle down or I may go back to one sachet.
Up until now my main problems have been the emotional ones and HRT hasn't really addressed them anyway so in some ways I am no worse off. Infact having a return of night sweats and flushes has reassured me that hormone levels are a factor.
At the moment I can deal with the physical stuff so I will continue with my experiment for a little longer. I am still hoping to get an appointment with the hospital consultant at some point.
Take care ladies and wishing you all well.
K.
