First off I went to my GP and asked about HRT because I felt I was going mad, I was feeling really crazy, anxious, moody, very very low and dark. I could have done with the hot flashes although they were a bit much at times, that was tolerable. She gave me Kliovance. At first it was really good, my mood and anxiety lifted, I didn't feel so crazy anymore. But after 3 weeks or so, my hair started falling out. I had problems with hair loss prior to that, for a few years, and had just managed to keep it under control the previous months, then suddenly, the shedding started again. I read about different HRT drugs and some progesterone types like that in Kliovance is testosterone based?
So I spoke with my GP again and asked her if I could try Femoston Conti. She agreed to let me try it, I'm on 1/5 at the moment. The shedding has not really stopped, the mood has gone down again, I keep waking up in the night over heating, mind racing, so I feel really exhausted in the day (I also have fibromyalgia so that's not helping at all), my anxiety is getting bad again, and I tend to feel sick but I am not sure this is related to the HRT or if I am just going through a phase of feeling sick. And the hot flashes have returned.
I am at a loss, I was feeling better on kliovance, but the hair loss brought me down after I thought I'd finally fixed that, and now I have more issues on top of that with the new tablets. Not sure what to do now. I am so tired, I can't think
Any suggestions? I think I might have to go back to my GP but she doesn't seem very savvy as far as HRT goes.
