Hi everyone, thanks so much for your comments, they’ve been hugely helpful. One month in and I’m feeling more optimistic about work - wish I’d started HRT before I felt in crisis at work. I’ve been sharing the issue with slightly younger colleagues (so they are prepared. I don’t think it’s helpful that symptoms are often reduced to hot flashes and night sweats by the media. Had I realised the full gamut of potential symptoms earlier I would certainly have approached my GP earlier). I don’t feel I’m there yet, but the GP said to give it a couple of months. Might increase the estrogel slightly (GP said to start on 1 pump and see how I go) as I’m still not sleeping well and still struggling with brain fog and inflammation, but mood seems on the up
