Hiya,
I'm in Strood, Kent! Now 50 years old.
Been on these for about 4 years with a break of 10 months because of 2 bleeds! Grrr.
Started B12 injections in January as I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency.
Had 6 "loading doses" every other day beginning January. Bled end January then again in February! Doctor suggested was because the B12 gave my hormones a boost!
Hot sweats returned with a vengeance! Argh!
Anyway, no more bleeds.
12 weekly B12 jabs.
My right breast started to leak milk! Yes, milk! No, I wasn't pregnant! Doctor did blood tests, all seemed well.
Sent me to Breast clinic at Medway Maritime Hospital, seen in 10 days!
Mammogram done, all clear, phewy.
Sample of "milk" taken.
Result 4 days later. Debris in the ducts!
Operation. Major Duct Excision. 2 weeks later. Job done.
Had to wait until I had the all clear from breast consultant before going back on my HRT. Menopausal hot flushes were by this time unbearable! I was changing (wearing vest tops under every outfit) vests half way through the days!
On my Elleste Duet! Took 1st one as soon as I collected from pharmacy. .... no more flushes woohoo!
Sorry ladies haha I've ranted!
SO, that's me, Sue, 50, in Strood!
Anyone local ever want to meet up, coffee chat. I'm up for that!
