Oh sauce sandwich: I used to love HP sauce on hot toast ;-)

[Roobee]

I used to cut Mars Bars into small pieces and put it into the fridge ;-).  Not due to pregnancy ....

Just because 😂

[Roobee]

I had this in peri. When I felt hungry I HAD to eat. Used to be a pain if we were due to go for a meal and I got hungry. I would be stuffing my face with a sauce sandwich half an hour before. And my hubby would say can't you wait and I would say NO I just had to eat then.

Mine has only been since starting patches last Saturday. About an hour after food, I get sweaty, weak and wobbly and my stomach feels like it’s digesting itself, like a real hunger. I have checked my blood pressure that’s normal, so it must be the sudden arrival of hormones. When I eat it goes for a bit but not for long ☹️

That sounds like the body trying to digest suddenly.

Can you explain what you mean by that please? Maybe I’m being thick 😂

[CLKD]

Not thick   - I know what I mean  .  When I have been very hungry and then eat, sometimes my body goes weak and wobbly ........ have you been checked for diabetes?  I get the same weak and wobbly if I do too much in the garden B4 eating, yesterday I shook for an hour, whilst eating and after  . I hadn't topped up

No I haven’t been checked, my mum has diabetes 😕 I will get tested just incase but seems a coincidence that it started after 2 days of patch.
Thank you for the explanation, you did it well 😀

5/10 ?

Do you have breakfast?  If I miss even half what I usually eat, by 10.30 I'm on my knees 

[charliegirl]

This is timely, as I used to get this before my periods, and still get it quite badly at times, it happened a few weeks back, then came crashing down with exhaustion, still think it’s hormonal!

[Roobee]

I do eat breakfast yes. I’m pleased to report this feeling has now gone, yesterday I was fine, so convinced it must be something to do with the HRT settling in. I’m only on day 9 so most probably another problem will be along in a minute 😂

It sounds like hypoglycaemia related to increase in oestrogen. It's probably going to settle as soon as your body gets used to it. If you feel it coming again, eat any carbs or drink a fruit juice to see if it helps.

Go you Sage! I had a call from my doctor this morning to see how I was doing and that’s exactly what he said!
My body has fired up some cylinders that were previously screwed and now has to adjust to this and needs fuel, his words not mine! 🤷🏻‍♀️

  Roobee - fab doctor  - he sounds like fun
