Thanks for all of your congratulations! I can report that tonight my hot sweats are only happening every forty five minutes instead of every twenty minutes so I believe that already the patch is working! The fact that I woke up this morning feeling horrible - nausea, dizziness and upset stomach - has nothing to do with HRT side effects. It was obviously a bad glass of wine last night! II refuse to believe that HRT is anything other than my friend!

Good luck Taz. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't! Hope everything calms for you.

[Taz2]

Thank you! I've not had side effects before but think that maybe I was so low on oestrogen that an overnight hit of 50 was a bit much for the poor body. I'm determined to ride it out. Feel so much more positive just knowing that the patch is there. The last sweat was just gearing up and then disappeared - I am hopeful that I will be returned to a normal state. By "normal" I mean functioning!

I can cope with the hot flushes but constant disturbed sleep with the night sweats is just a step too far! I'm on an oestrogen high at the moment so sleeping like a log - such joy! Hope you manage to get through the entire night

I hope it settles down Taz - it's early days so fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Cazi. I've just gone a whole hour without one! This calls for a celebration 

[Cazikins]

Well bottoms up then girl.
 

[Taz2]

Hmm not quite sure I'm ready for "bottoms up" quite yet.... 

[Cazikins]

You will if you go another hour without a flush......

[marras]

That's great news Taz, such a relief not to have so many flushes. Even if it only reduces them by half its a result eh! 😊

I do feel more positive already. The flushes are less - every hour today instead of the three an hour which is great. Plus, sometimes, they begin and then fade away before I get too drippy    It's a bit like when you are building up for a sneeze and then it just disappears again. Last night was better too. I went to bed late after going to a gig but had four between 1.30 and 7 which is good for me.

Thanks for all of your congratulations!
