Hi everyone, I started with HRT patches back in June and I found they really helped with the insomnia, anxiety and hot flushes. However recently I have had bleeding, mood swings and insomnia again.
I went to my GP and she basically asked me what I wanted her to prescribe. I was so taken aback, I didn’t know what to say. Surely she should be advising me, not asking me what to do?
She won’t give me any HRT other than the patches because she thinks I will not do well with tablets due to my Crohn’s disease which is currently flaring. So she gave me some sleeping tablets and said she would arrange a scan for the bleeding.
I don’t know what to do about the anxiety and mood swings which are as bad as pre HRT and affecting my ability to work and my relationship with my family. I know sleep will help a bit, but I don’t feel like the underlying issue is being addressed.
Does anyone have any suggestions what I should ask her for next time I go? I feel a bit lost.
