I've come off HRT
« on: June 08, 2014, 06:04:09 PM »

Hi Ladies,

I've been off HRT for 11 weeks now,  I was having problems with migraine and raised blood pressure due to changing my HRT.  Apart from having a few night sweats and flushes nothing unpleasant has happened and I'm feeling less anxious.  HRT was great for me for the 2 years I took it and helped me through a difficult time, and having good advice from you ladies too.

 Thank you xxx

Hi Margaret
I came off HRT about 8 months ago and have to say it's not been too bad.  My only problem was a terrible burning urethra(due to VA) which was already a problem even on full HRT but got really bad when I came off.  Local oestrogen is starting to settle this down now.
I am getting some flushes at night but again not too bad. The only real problem is poor sleep - i really miss being able to have a decent nights sleep.

Glad to hear your doing well Margaret I came off HRT a year ago and like you having the flushes etc.,  its not to the point where i feel the need to go back on HRT and now having some success with drinking soy milk. My flushes are far less and nights sweats improved a whole lot but I do know some cannot tolerate it well. Good Luck
