Hi guys
Phew what a year and still plodding along, mixed into the whole sorry mess is the dreaded Menopause which has slowly encroached on my life, to the point it was interfering in my every day life. Hot flushes, bones aching, dryness, sleeplessness, hair loss, memory loss, lack of concentration and everything else too.
I felt I needed a rest bite from my other illnesses and needed to deal with my menopause at least. I was referred to a specialist clinic due to my current condition and spent time with the hospital doctor. I was expecting a no from her, but because I am on Warfarin at the moment she said it was ok, discussed side effects etc and yes there are risks. But we agreed to trial it for three months and will take it from there, and I will be using patches
Am I a little concerned, yes it's the unknown, and as I've had stupid adverse reactions to my medications the last 12 months I'm a bit nervous
Do I want a break from the horrible Meno and its issues it's throwing at me so that I can deal with my other illness, yes!
Am I expecting too much from the patches and HRT, probably
My iron is quite low and is possibly contributing to my hair loss, so now googling foods that are high in iron, but have to be careful I don't get constipated as it could be an issue with my stoma
Sigh and slight grin
