Hi I am new to this site, I have been taking Climagest 1mg for 3 years! I have recently had a scare where I found a small lump in my breast, I immediately went to see my GP she was very good & does specialise in this field she said I had a blocked milk duct.
The lump has now gone
having done research on Climagest & found out how high the chances of getting breast cancer is pretty scary, I thought whilst being with my Gp I would speak with her about coming off the climagest, she agreed" we did speak about the high possibility of breast cancer because of my age being 53
To cut a long story short I started to reduce the climagest 3 week ago I now feel so ill, I cry at the drop of a hat! my body aches, I can't remember things, the sweats are so bad I wake up during the night soaking wet I feel so low, I just want to sleep, my joints are in so much pain. I rang my surgery on Friday for I could not go in to work I felt so ill my emotions was & still so high I am also getting frequent head aches plus I have not had a period now for 2 month.
I explained all this to my GP who was not very helpful, basically he said you can start the climagest again but you should not stop & start them if you do it is like catch 22 take them feel better but (remember) you have the chances of breast cancer if on them for a long period of time. I have left it that I go in to see another GP on Wednesday until then grin & bare how I am feeling, all kinds of things are going through my mind like is it the Climagest or am I ill, I did not feel like this be for I started the weaning off program.
Is there anyone out there who has experienced anything similar? or weaned off climagest? I would appreciate any feed back or help & guidance, I feel quite alone with it.
Many thanks.
