Hi Kathleen, glad to hear your eyes are better. A thought I'm still getting my head around - but maybe because of lowering Oestrogel rather than despite, considering studies showing women with dry eye on oestrogen alone (less so on combi regimes) fared worse than non-users. The idea that androgen deficiency is linked with dry eye rather than oestrogen. Will be interesting to hear what the Sjogren's expert has to say about HRT & dry eyes, but 6 month waiting list Cons said & his clinic letter referring me to her only written last week (though I saw him in April), so could be 2020 before I get to see her!
What are you using topically for the dryness down below? I find I need Vagifem 5 nights a week plus Estriol externally, as well as systemic HRT, to manage the VA. The Estriol, though very weak, I find makes a huge difference to comfort.
Are your mood swings cyclical i.e. according to your HRT regime? Sorry - can't remember whether sequi but think so?
