Thanks Annie0710. What a nuisance it all is! My allergies were really bad when I was younger and after I turned 50 they got much better. I even joked I was growing out of hay fever! Of course I know now it was a good side effect of the menopause as last year it came back with a vengeance once I started HRT.
It's been a three year journey to be prescribed bio identical HRT by my GP , then excessive bleeding = hysterectomy. I thought that would be it and felt quite content that I'd happily pump estrogel until I died. I realise now that being prone to allergies is a lifetime problem.
I would wonder if it's my cat setting it off but the constant cough is just as bad at work. As you say what allergy is hard to detect.
I have never had my blood tested for hormone levels!
Jolly x
I have had 3 blood tests for hormones
Aged 33 showed oestrogen 100 and something (she was expecting 700 +)
3 years ago bloods showed peri but they said nothing they can do !
Last week shows I think post meno
I'm allergic to cats and malting dogs (we have both!)
I used to be fine out of the house too but now I can get asthma whenever and whenever
Do you use inhalers ? I've always been given a spacer to use with mine, very cumbersome but helps when you hardly have any breath !
