Hi, it's taken me a while to get the courage up to post something, bitten the bullet today as I would love some help from the kind people on here. I'm 51 Was diagnosed with ME about 3 years ago. I started taking Femoston 2/10 tablets last year as had been suffering with bad hot flushes for a few months it was wonderful hot flushes stopped. But the beginning of this year I started bleeding between periods and was taken off HRT altogether. The hot flushes came back. I had one period in May and none since that. Have been asking for help from GP with flushes etc eventually she prescribed Clonidine. I have tried these for a couple of months but they do not seem to be helping with the flushes. Went back to GP last week and she has now prescribed Evorel Sequi 50 patches. I'm in a dilemma whether to take them or not as she said my periods will return. These have always been heavy and painful (even on HRT) It was great not to go through that every month. The ME causes a lot of pain, some down days and dreadful fatigue, which I think has possibly been made worse by the menopause. I don't know whether I am still peri menopausal or what I am. I have read that some ladies have cut the patches in half is that something I should try? If I started on the patches and my periods start again, how would I know when they would stop naturally? So sorry for all the questions once I started couldn't stop
. I've a feeling I'm posting this in the wrong place - sorry not good with this kind of thing. Please help
