Can anyone else relate to this and give me some advice? Been on here from time to time, often to check out how everyone is doing and sometimes throwing in the odd comment, I had my annual review a month or two back and discussed coming off the HRT (Elleste Duet Conti 2mg) and due to my frequent problems with anxiety, often made worse with the family health probs (now found out 3 have Alzheimer's) the doc suggested I stick with it as she didn't want to add to the anxiety by me trying to stop. I went home and decided (in my warped brain) that things were pretty good at the moment, father in law's Alzheimer's pills helping him a lot, my mother's on different tabs, but they are helping her so before everything starts to fall apart I'd give it a go on the no HRT front. Stopped completely, a week in I was in bits, so back to the pills, after a fortnight I was feeling better but still of a mind to come off them, so started an every other day regime... a month in the flushes are starting to reappear, but they're manageable... then .... yesterday members of family came for a visit and told me another family member has the dreaded Alzheimer's, and a 5yr old nephew has health probs which sound far too much for a little'un to have to cope with. Today I'm in pain, I'm shaking, sweating, can't settle.... question is would any of you stick with the lesser dose of HRT and say it's just me panicking and I'll be better in a day or two, or would you get back an the full dose and say sod it for a year or three? I'm so sorry this ramble's on ....... Rescue remedy not working either...
