hello spider
I felt just like this for about a year. Life was most certainly difficult. Not sleeping because of hot flushes and just feeling weepy and fed up ALL the time. Started hrt 3 months ago and the difference has been dramatic.  Not as tired, more energy and just "feel" better. Its not all perfect--do not like the progesterone 2 weeks at all, but I will gladly put up with it because I generally feel so much more like my old self.

goodluck with it all.

Hi spider
Sorry to hear you are still feeling rough down there....
Are you using the Gynest cream like you said your doc gave you - this has to be used every night for 2 weeks and then twice a week. I haven't used this internally - only on the external areas as I use Vagifem ( at the moment) or have used very successfully-  Orthogynest pessaries, which you just push up there - no need for loading and washing an applicator.

Hope you had a better night and things start to improve soon.

Thanks so much (again) everyone for your replies.

So glad you are hear to listen to me. I had a rough night again last night..woke up 4 times with my heart racing and then the sweating omg..

Hubby was so sympathetic...he actually held my hand at one point. Started the HRT today so fingers crossed. Things can only get better. Feeling weepy too thinking about how I used to be before all this carry on. Feel like life is passing me by at the moment.

Hurdity I haven't yet tried the gynest as I feel too sore and I'm afraid that I may now have thrush..(evidence is there) so I intend heading back to see GP in the next day or two hopefully

I keep focussing on the weeks ahead as we are off on a family holiday next month and I'm hoping that by then the HRT will have alleviated some of these horrible symptoms.

You know someone said to me today that women who complain about menopause are hypochondriacs and just won't accept that they're getting old. It was lucky for her that I wasn't my usual self or I would have let her have it

Thanks again for being here everyone...it's so comforting to know that I am not on my own
