Hi
Has anyone experienced tingly soles of the feet, palms of the hand and calf ache. i have never suffered with this before. i have just had my levels checked and am not sure if increasing my oestrogen will help? My levels were 280 on a 50mcg patch
thanks

Yes, me! All of these symptoms!
Only stayed sane because they ebb & flow, and don't seem to be permanent.
I have in the past sometimes switched from my regular Lenzetto to an old bottle of Oestrogel for a few nights, and that seems to take the edge off, quite possibly just placebo effect.
Not recommending this, just airing my desperate attempts to feel normal again

Thanks Minnie Mouse. I have added a little bit of oestrogel in the past for other symptoms and it helped
Would you say my levels are low? Only asking as I had a level of 700 last year

oooh, I dunno, there will be others on here much more informed on actual levels.
I just go on how I feel, relative to old 'normal'

Yes! Are they worse in the evenings and at night? Mine are.
I think tingly feet are the same 'thing' as my inner tremors but they are the inner tremors dialled right down so it just feels like a tingling.
280pmol is pretty low. I know your NHS GP will tell you that anything over 250 is great but 3 different Newson Health doctors have told me that most women need to be between 400-600pmol for symptom control and some need even higher.
I'm on 10 pumps of gel now, just to get 430pmol...
And I need to go higher.

I think you are right about the levels Joziel, my thoughts too on them being low. It wasn't until i got my results it clicked as to why i was having symptoms. The only problem is that it takes me ages to increase my patch as I'm so sensitive to oestrogen.
