Hi all, newbie here!
I'm 57 and 7 years post menopause. Have recently started HRT (Evorel Conti patches) to help with brain fog, libido, irritability etc but also for osteoporosis. However, almost immediately I noticed my hot flushes have got worse than before, proper sweating ones which I haven't had in ages. Has anyone else experienced this and does it eventually settle down?
I was a bit disheartened tbh - I was expecting I'd have to wait a while to see any improvements (2-3 months), but somehow wasn't expecting the existing symptoms to get worse, especially so quickly. Of all the symptoms, the hot flushes actually seemed to be under control, just the odd one here and there with spicy food/coffee.
If I know it'll eventually get better I'll be happy to persevere. I'm assuming it's an imbalance in the hormones and maybe my current dose just isn't right and needs tweaking?
Thanks for reading
