Hi everyone, everybody has been so supportive before so I'm here for more advice. I had started HRT and it did work but after taking a reduced dose due to increase in migraines (the reason I stopped the pill) I had to stop due to increased migraine activity. I stopped in June 2013 and the flushes have been relentless really intense, sometimes I feel I am going to pass out and I have to sit down, with and without palpitations, recently I have started breaking out in a sweat.
I did take clonidine for a while and it did work it reduced frequency and intensity, I had to reduce those as I was virtually falling asleep at my desk, so I take just a half dose at night and a sage tablet in the morning.
The reason I am posting and if it's in the wrong place please re direct me, the flushes are bad enough as they have regained their momentum and sometimes I am up about 11 times per night, I need advice with those but I now have problems 'down below'. I have tried lubrication but that doesn't seem to work 'inside' if you know what I mean? I have grazed slightly as well during which I think has put me off a little. I can't tell my hubbie he is so kind, I think he would worry too much and I don't want to spoil what little affectionate time we have (that's due to me feeling worried & embarrassed)
can anyone advise. by the way I menopaused at 40 and am now 48, thank you x
