Thank you all so very much!
I'm a woman of few words these days, as i'm battling crippling anxiety most days now (along with mood swings - ugh)!
Yes, this is what complete estrogen depletion looks like after over 2 years post oopherectomy, and its not pretty! I have literally thought I was losing my mind over the last few weeks, and then my brother (thank goodness for big brothers) decided to take charge, and arranged a break at The Priory and the consultation with Louise.
I'm so grateful for the opportunity to work with someone I can consult closely with - we might not get it right first time but at least I know that she's empathetic and as a fellow HRT user herself, knows all the ups and downs of trying to achieve good hormonal balance.
MJ - I need to acces the article, I've been dying to read it but only had my phone the last week or so and I couldn't view it! I'm making it a top priority.

Annie, you're always a dear friend indeed! How's the Estrogel going, and have you added the T yet? Louise says women shouldn't be afraid of using it. Problems only happen at very high levels - a pea sized blob is always going to be fine, and it takes a good while to even 'register' with the body which is why she has no qualms about starting it immediately.
She has just returned from the International Menopause and Andropause Conference in Amsterdam and testosterone replacement was a hot topic there, as you can imagine! xxxxx
Thank you, Hurdity! I know you always said I probably wouldn't feel better until I added T. I've always remembered your words, but it's been a very hard battle to get it when it shouldn't have been! This has to stop, doesn't it? It should be available via the NHS to all women who may benefit from it. xxxxx
