Hi, I’m new on here.
I’m not sure where to post medical type questions...
I have two queries- has anyone else suffered from hormone related migraines? And has anyone returned to HRT after a long break?
I was using estrogel for several years, my new doctor raised safety issues as 1) I had been on it for a long time and 2) I’d started getting chronic migraines with aura.
I got a bit worried and decided to come off it, just before the first lockdown. My GP prescribed beta blockers for the migraines. At first this seemed to work, though the migraines didn’t really go away completely and are now increasing again. I’ve had a horrible time with low mood and extreme tiredness painful joints etc..
I watched the Davina mc call channel 4 programme recently and then looked up menopause doctor. I now think I should have stayed on estrogel, as I still have menopausal symptoms- do they ever go away? I’m 64 btw and used to be lively, happy and fit. I’m now fat, unfit and miserable.
