lW44 - brilliant news about the shopping. I knew I had a problem the day I no longer wanted to go shopping. You usually can't stop me, but when peri hit, opening the garden gate was an ordeal, let alone battling the High Street!
Pepperminty, just wanted to give you a big hug. It's so hideous and isolating, isn't it? You're probably fed up with us saying this, but are you sure it's too much estrogen and not a dip which has happened to occur at the same time as the switch? The reason I say this is that, reading through my old posts, I had exactly the same thing. I would rip off 50mcg patches in desperation when in fact I needed more. If you do ask for the pill, you'll be on a higher dose of estrogen and it will be synthetic, so even more potent. (You're on 2mg of bio identical, pill will probably be 3mg of synthetic unless you have Qlaira - which has same sort of estrogen as Femeston).
Really hope things settle soon, but in the meantime, remember we're here, and we get it. You're not alone xxx
