That's good!  Jules said in her post above that the first few hours after taking it, she felt more energised so this will probably suit you well! I'm waiting until a little later to post my update, there seems to be a LOT going on my end today! xxxxx

Abby/Anja

Great updates - hope all goes well for you. You have a lot of good support on here.

Although I had an increase in dizziness during the night - today has not been too bad. The jelly legs, anxiety is milder today and the last few days. Took tablet at 2:00 today........ lets see what happens changing the time.

Tempest - I was looking in my diary today and noticed at day 32 I had to drop some paperwork into my Consultants office and my legs were so wobbly I could hardly stand. May be things will improve for us thanks for being such a good support to me and other TT sisters

Annie - hope your feeling ok today and you've managed to sort the ear irritation.

Jules - thank you for the reassuring post, you and Suzanne have helped me so much

So... three days in.. energy seems good, but still getting the swollen boobies feeling (that i hate)

libido feels more, awake!

I would like the first and last feeling, without the middle one!

I think my DH is hoping my libido comes back tomorrow

Blimey Abby your body is literally lapping up to Tibolone by the sound of it ! Good for you :-) x

[Tempest]

You're just a sweetheart, Warwick! Hoping so much that things start to even out for you - you deserve this so much!!! xxxx

Well, today has been interesting! Quite a lot of tears earlier on - not depression, more sentimental kinda stuff. I've also had LOTS of other things going on with my Cetirizine taper - GP warned that I might have a few ups and downs with BP etc due to its vasodilating effects and rebound from coming off the drug, and he wasn't kidding!
I've also discovered after he suggesting monitoring that I'm having frequent hypoglycemic episodes - he gave me a Nexus monitor and interestingly, it's during these times that I'm going seriously off my trolley! I have been following a very strict low GI, no sugar diet now for 2 years off my own back - I told GP this and he says I must relax this and eat some sugar as I need it! I thought I was being 'good', but he says too much of a good thing can actually be bad if it's extreme (which I think my regime has been rather). I'm also lactose intolerant, so I get no sugar's from lactose either as I can't consume it.

So anyway, today I added in fruit and - on his suggestion - a half spoonful of sugar in my three daily cups of decaf.tea and it seems to be making a very big difference! He wants me to keep tracking as if BP stays as low as it has been and I'm still symptomatic with dizziness and blood sugar's stay low despite slight change to diet, he's going to refer me to endocrinology. My fasting blood sugar that was done at the surgery was within range, but low.

The Tibolone seems to have evened out a bit today - or has it? Maybe all my wild ups and downs have been blood pressure and blood sugar related...... We'll see! I also understand that low estrogen is tied into low blood pressure/blood sugar too but I've had these symptoms a good while whatever HRT I have (or haven't) been on.

Sorry to ramble on a bit - I'm never straightforward am I? Who knew that being 'good' could potentially be bad for you!

Keep on trailblazing Abby - you're sounding so hopeful! 

How are you doing today, Annie?

Hang in there, Anjia! It takes a wee while for the sweats to settle.

Hugs to all my Tibolone sisters! xxxxxx

It'll be interesting to see how you fare adding in some sugar Tempest, I did the opposite a few years ago, followed slimming world diet for my daughters wedding and ate loads of fruit, dentist was horrified when I bragged how good I'd been !

I'm ok, not impressed with my expanding waistline , reckon  my Tibolone is full of steroid and no hormones 😂 the way I'm filling out.  I really MUST address this quick

Very sensitive skin, woke up with really itchy side of face and randomly get itchy patches anywhere on my body, right now is left side of tummy

Have realised these last few days that although I hear much much better there's still loss.  And random pains in my ears. Still healing I guess

Overall though ok, still waiting to WANT to have my wicked way with OH, maybe it'll never happen, time will tell

[abbyH]

Hi all.. Tempest so glad (in a way) you are getting some answers, the sugar/bp thing does sound like something  you can address: and hopefully all the other things will settle too

Warwick, Annie, Anja: hope you are all ok too?

Day 3 .. woke at 4am... usual time, so no change in sleep1
have a slight burny, thrushy feeling.. anyone else had that in early days?

not so sure about feeling energised as have missed my early morning yoga practice - oops but will do something else I think maybe go for a run as its so lovely out there (in norwich) today

Warwick I hope that Tibolone is not full of steroid! Well, we know it is, but hopefully it will start to work on you properly???

hope everyone has a good day... I'd love to have a FB group that we could post inspirational stuff in - any chance?? Tibolone Tribe? (private of course!) I'm happy to admin..

[warwick01]

Hi Abby - yes I had the burning thrushy feeling...... don't worry it will settle. The first few weeks mornings were difficult, I found it hard to get out of bed and feel energised....... once I'm up now I feel better.

Tempest - keep going with the Tibolone and I agree with GP moderation is the key.

Will pop in later with my update Wxx

[Tempest]

Morning ladies!

Nice day here too, Abby! Yes - go and run round those castle grounds and say hello from me! It's a place I used to visit often.

Happy Valentine's day to all of you - sending many hugs as you're all beautiful ladies.

I'll pop by later to let you know how my day panned out. xxxxx

[abbyH]

Happy Valentines all!
Update 2! got up after all and went to yoga - and will do a run later! Feeling energised!

also spotty... just a little one on chin, but there nonetheless!

Quick update whilst at work

About Day um about 1.5 months

Had THE WORST night sweat last night.  Haven't experienced one that ferocious since my hysterectomy 18 years ago.  Took ages to get back to sleep I was drenched
Feeling jittery and foggy brained today

Happy valentines ladies
We celebrated Sunday and yesterday as I thought the day was yesterday lol xx

[abbyH]

Consider it done! We will have to "find" each other. I'm easily detectable just do a search on Abby yoga norwich :-) I'll start one and add you all!
