Suzanne - it doesn't sound to me as though your mood swings are down to the Tibolone. I do wonder if you are still getting some of your own hormones kicking in???  I can't remember whether you have had your thyroid function checked recently?
Did this anxiety and low mood start when you became menopausal?  Have you previously had episodes of anxiety before?
I know some find that beta blockers can help with palpitations - it seems to me you are swinging so wildly at the moment and maybe you need something alongside the HRT to help control things.  DG x

Sorry to hear yesterday was a bad day for you Suzanne and I really hope things have been better for you today?

Well, it's day 17 for me and things have gone back down 😠. It's been stressful at work today and I also ache all over and feel like I've been hit by a bus! When my anxiety was bad at the beginning of peri I used to feel like this and it was because I was tensing my muscles up so I think this is what this is and probably nothing to do with the Tibolone. As I have had some good days as well on it I am hopeful that as time goes on, it will start to get rid of the tension. It's early days yet and I know I have to give it 3 months for my hormones to level out.

Hope it's going well for everyone xx

Hi Suzanne 1967. Just wondered how you are doing?

I have had more good days than bad, which is great and the hot flushes are getting less😊. Today is quite a stressful day at work so I'might feeling quite shaky and a bit tearful but that is down to circumstances rather than the Tibolone I'm sure. Any feedback on Tibolone would be greally appreciated. Thank you xx

[Suzanne1967]

Hello   

Ummm well 💗... up and down ladies

I've really not had the best few days  😖

Sleep rubbish  can't get off to sleep

Hot flushes appear at night 🙄 Not every night but most

Just generally feel rubbish past couple of days and soooo tired ! & achy ...

Libido  zero

Was like phew 🤗.. this is going to Be great but now getting a bit disillusioned !

Keep kicking myself up the backside 😉 
 Xx 💗💗💗 hope you doing ok all you awesome ladies out there 🙋💗😘

[Jules53]

Hi Suzanne.  Sorry to hear you haven't had the best few days. Yesterday I really thought I had come out the other side but stressful situations at work have undone all of that today!😢

I think my hormone levels were fighting back at the stress and my body feels so tense and achy. 😣

My gynaecologist said to stick with Tibolone  for 3 months and on the good days I've  had, I've  had some real moments of hope. I'm now taking a whole tablet in the morning with breakfast.  My sleep has been mostly ok but I woke up at 3 am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so started the day feeling exhausted. Like you, my libido is zero!  I'd be interested to hear from other people how long this has taken to return 😀.

I know what you mean about having to keep kicking yourself up the backside! Sending you some positive vibes Suzanne❤💚💛 and hoping things improve for you very soon Xx

[Suzanne1967]

Jules 🙋💗

I could have wrote that status ! 😬😳

It's rubbish eh ... but step by step my moods rather irrational tonight 😩😬.. all in five mins

Agitated tearful sad hot no concentration. Mind flitting and Generally  rubbish

Feel like a slug 😂😂 not that I know what a slug feels like ....


Mwahhhhhhhh tomorrow's another day !
 Can fall out  with myself quite easily at mo 🙄🙄😳

Night all x keep focused jules 😘😘💗❤️💜💗



Off to bed now !

[Jules53]

Thanks Suzanne! Hope you'very had a much better day today?

A quick update from me - the anxiety has been much better but the aches and pains were a lot worse today😠😢!

It felt like I had pulled a muscle in my neck when I woke up but it got worse over the day and I have had a burning pain between my shoulder blades and the pain radiates down my arms and across my shoulders. I feel like I've been hit by a bus 🚃!  Can this be from the Tibolone I wonder?🙆

Anyway I  hope  this gets better over the next few days as it's making me feel miserable. Hope you are doing OK today Suzanne💜💛x

[Dancinggirl]

Jules53 - unlikely to be the Tibolone.  I get this type of pain and it's usually tension or I've been in a cold draught.  It's worth having a session with a physio to have a look at posture - many of us don't sit or stand well and some tips about this can be really helpful. Some Yoga or Pilates can really help with shoulder and back tension.  DG x

[Jules53]

Thanks Dancing Girl. The pains had completely disappeared the  following day☺! I had a really good day yesterday but I'm not feeling so great today as I  had a couple of drinks last night! Only 2 Martini and lemonades as that's the weakest drink I have, but I  guess my body isn'the going to tolerate alcohol well on Tibolone! Does anyone else find this? I feel like I have bad indigestion today after those 2 drinks😠.

Suzanne 1967 how are you doing? Better I hope! Thanks for the feedback Dancinggirl xx

Hi Jules,  I'm on Tibolone too,  coming up to week 4 and yes I've found that my reaction to white wine was extreme. I'd barely finished the glass and the room was spinning.

Still, I see it as a positive as it'll help keep the weight off and it's a price worth paying as my sweats, chills,  aches and pains have gone.

[Annie0710]

I wonder if it's something to do with T ?

Since meno I'm a complete lightweight and can usually only handle a couple and last night we had a Baileys at home, only a small one and my god I felt like I'd had the bottle lol

I put a link on a Tibolone thread today, they do 5mg pills too and ladies are taking a 2.5 plus half of other if their symptoms start returning, always good to know I guess x

Yes I've just read it, what an excellent find; I didn't know a double strength version was available,  I think that's what I need to give me the reaction I want.

Jules 🙋Hi


And all the TT crowd 🤗

Phew awful few days

Today was the worst ever 🤔

Headache +++ 

Aches and pains 😩 Hit by a bus ummm felt like hit by a 🚉🚝🚚🚎🚌😩 been like  this  has been the past few days hence not posting 😳...

Honestly I'm Day 26 and I'm thinking i thought I'd feel better then 💥💥wham I feel awful ! 😩...

Honestly simple things ... trying to juggle life ! Today honestly I had to really concentrate to make my sons packed lunch grandma( she's staying with me at mi as poorly )  a cup of tea and let the  dog out 😬 I ended up laughing at Myself I'm like goodness me what's going on ! 🙄🙄


I'm just so rubbish 😳


I'm just sooooo not with it ! I was thinking today that my headache was so bad that maybe I should keep a diary maybe it's a hormone RUSH !

Libido is zero still ! My hot flushes have come back  too from  nowhere x

 🤔🤔 oh happy days !

Tomorrow's another day onwards and hormones !!! 😘😘

[Dancinggirl]

Suzanne1967 - you sound totally overwhelmed.  I really don't think it's the Tibilone causing your problems and I don't think it's going to solve everything for you either. I think you need to adjust your lifestyle a bit.  I'm can't remember whether you go out to work or not but you clearly have quite a hectic life and I'm afraid when meno hits many of us find we need to pace things more - relaxation is the key and really planning the day so you don't take on too much and then feel overwhelmed.
It is still early days and no HRT is going to be a quick fix - the Tibolone is simply one part of a range to strategies to keep everything on an even keel.
The weather has been mild over the last few days and my flushes have been awful - I've also had a headache - viruses flying around at the moment ??!!
I expect your headache is tension related - you sound so stressed out.
Deep breathes, shoulders down, get some fresh air and make sure you get at least 30 mins each day to lie down calmly and meditate.  DG x

Hi everyone in the TT🙋

Day 24 for me today. Hot flushes have all but disappeared and my aches and pains are definitely better😀. The only thing I'm still suffering with is the tension/anxiety. I agree with Dancinggirl about taking deep breaths and taking time to meditate.  I did some meditation and it definitely improved the tension! My libido has still disappeared though😢.

Hope you are all doing OK ladies and that things are getting better for you Suzanne?💚💜xx
