Dear Everyone, you have all been so helpful in the past.....
I previously had so many symptoms, fab GP diagnosed Meno and prescribed Elleste Duet 1mg, almost two symptom free years have past.
Imagine my horror when I could no longer get Elleste Duet, I am just starting my 3rd month on Femoston.
I feel utterly awful, emotionally and mentally so so awful. I feel anxious, devastated by everything and nothing, anxious, panic attacks x 2, so worried, angry, irrational, crying all the time. If I am really honest and I think I must be I have honestly thought I don't even want to be here, that thought passes over me in waves...but it does pass. I am constantly worrying
Physically - within 2 weeks of starting new HRT burning mouth...for 3 weeks, so awful, headaches, I cannot sleep, I am hot but not flushed or I am cold...I have this awful crawly skin feeling in random parts of my body plus pins and needles type feelings in hands and feet my elbows hurt, my knees hurt...my reflux has started up again
What can I do? I am so distressed, this is how I presented way back. I felt so thrilled that the first HRT prescribed worked....I feel so angry and cheated I have been forced to change.
Is it the change of meds...has anyone else had this, I just want to be normal again...I feel like I am being tickled sometimes all over me sometimes on one side....I ache....my eyes are dry
I recognise all the symptoms, exactly the same as before I started Elleste, I am scared....I am so so tired I honestly don't know how to help myself.
I feel bloated...no appetite, I feel so unattractive and I feel you may all think I am a moaning old woman who needs to get a grip, I am 51.
I don't seem able to hold my wee as well either, I am itchy...oh please help me WHY DID THEY HAVE TO CHANGE MY HRT? WILL IT EVER BE RE STOCKED AGAIN?
I am told my B12 is on the low side but no treatment mentioned,
Thank you so much for reading my post, I would very much value some support x
