[Crow Lady]

Hi, just about to start my HRT journey. 50, nervous and probably going to be asking lots of stuoid questions !
I don't know anyone who has done HRT, got nobody IRL to ask.

Hello Crow Lady and welcome. No questions are stupid so please feel free to ask anything you like.

Browse round.  There are several ladies from across the water ;-) who should pop up with support.  As well as from Canada and the US.

Let us know how your periods are behaving.  What sent U to the GP initially?  Some find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use to chart progress.

[Crow Lady]

No periods for at least a year. I went to the docs when I started with the pressure in my chest, I thought it was heart-related but after ecg, blood tests and chest xrays my doc thinks it's all down to menopause.

Many report 'palpitations'.  Do U feel supported by your GP? 

That's menopause proper then, usually after 12 months without a bleed we can say that we 'are there'.  However.  Sometimes Nature comes back to bite  .  Also, nowt is stupid, taboo etc., although we do have a thread "doing stupid things" ;-)
