Feeling better every day.
« on: June 14, 2016, 06:07:19 PM »

Well, it's been 8 days now since upping to 4 pumps, and my God what a transformation! Every day I have felt better and stronger, and this morning was the first time in 3 months that I didn't wake to dread and depression.

I can't tell you how much better I am feeling. The agrophobia has disappeared, the anxiety has totally disappeared, the depression is just a bad memory.

I met friends for coffee this morning, the first time in 3 months and really enjoyed it. I've booked myself a hair appointment, a couple of beauty treatments, an overdue smear, and finalised details to meet friends in London in August.

 All stuff which I had been desperately putting off because I just couldn't face the thought of them.

I can't quite believe that all I needed was just an extra pump of estrogel! But within 6 hours of applying that first extra pump I could feel my mood improving. So it can't be a coincidence.

GRL, that is great news and you really deserve it after all you have been through.  That is the beauty of the regime we are both on, you can adjust the dose (with the help of an expert) to suit your needs and sometimes you only need to tweak your dose slightly to get very different results.  Long may your improvement continue!

Well done GRL...you deserve a break from all the anxiety and depression.

Long may it last.

Btw - whatever happened to the Sandrena gel? And how do you find the utrogestan?

Thank you all  :)

It just feels so wonderful to just feel normal again.

But, you're very sensible CLKD. I should pace myself, as I am still very much recuperating.

Mis71Mum, I swapped from Sandrena to Estrogel when I went to see Prof Studd back in April.

So did he advise that 4 pumps overrides your cycle?

It's great news that things are going so well for you xxx

Hello GypsyRoseLee.

So pleased to hear that you are feeling better!

Your experience demonstrates the effect changing  hormones has on  behaviour and well being and proves that the menopause can have a powerful impact on some of us, through no fault of our own!

Wishing you well and keep us updated.
