Hi there gorgeous ladies, I just thought I would share some positive news. I think the Duavive I am taking for menopause has kicked in. I feel great! One step closer to getting my life back. Woo hoooooooo
Hi Mrs Bella,
I'm really fascinated by your positive words about Duavive because I have recently been diagnosed with LCIS (Lobular Carcinoma in situ) and I've just had to come off estradiol & Utrogestan (HRT prescribed by Nick Panay at Queen Charlottes) and my breast surgeon wants to put me on Tamoxifen which I'm terrified of. I've had some really bad reactions to various meds (I have a number of medical problems since peri-meno started), in particular anxiety, depression, insomnia, hypertension and am on drugs for all of them which give me enough side effects as it is.
May I ask if this is the first HRT you've tried and how come you were prescribed it - not a lot of people have heard of it, I know it hasn't been used in the UK for long.
Do you have any side effects from it?
Any info would be massively welcome.
Thanks in advance!
