Hi Reba - have you had a hysterectomy? Fatigue is common once menopause hits.  The oestrogen will help and your body is probably still adjusting and welcoming this wonderful hormone. BE patient, look at you diet and exercise regime to see what you can improve - do try taking some Vitamin D and B12 as this may help.  Get out for some brisk walks and enjoy sleeping well - your body may well be needing more sleep right now as it's been a very long, cold winter.  DG x

Hi yes I had hysterectomy 11 yrs ago .left my ovaries, in January the symptoms hit me like a brick . Went to go she suggested hrt , it has helped with flushes and mood very quickly . Thank u for reply . I just didn't understand why I'm so achy and tired . I have good diet exercise at home . Will give walks a go . I like to keep busy falling asleep like this can't handle it.

Give the oestrogen time - it will help. I'm feeling really tired right now - the winter has taken it's toll.  Vitamin D has helped.  DG x

I'm relieved to read this after a site search, I started estradot25 almost two weeks ago, early days I know but the past couple of days I feel so fatigued, I had my hysterectomy nearly 8 months ago, your posts give me hope it's either a post surgery or new introduction to estrogen blip  :-\ I'm taking vit d, b12 etc.

I hope you're starting to feel better :) xxxx
