Not been on for a while, but I'm starting to struggle
I went to see Dr Currie in January, she was lovely and after listening to my history of complaints (patches not sticking, joint aches, weight gain) she advised me to try Elleste Duet conti tablets, even though I've just turned 40 she said it was ok, so I'm almost finished my second month, I've been having symptoms of tender breasts,stomach cramps, ibs, bleeding, and the worst of all hip and back pain also knee pain, generally all over stiffness and aches.
The pain is so bad it's started disturbing my sleep
I don't know what to do! Dr Currie told me I needed to get my bloods checked for Thyroid problems (I've not got round to it yet) and also recommended an alternative hrt to try if I didn't like this one!
Is it all settling in symptoms? is it to early to ask for the alternative, my symptoms are worsening, I'm struggling to exercise now, so weight control is difficult!
Please help girls, if I'm to return to the GP I need to be armed with info to support my symptoms, hope someone can help or just reassure me, although I'm not sure how long I can cope with this pain!
thanks for listening Anne x
