.  I almost don't want to read anything because I don't want to worry myself when I'm just feeling more positive

I completely understand but don't forget mine went untreated for 12 years (ie onset of pain eveywhere) but I actually started with mild pain in 2008!! So 16 years.
I'm sure now you're so much better, everything will stay as it is for you. It can't fail to because you're on the right regime. If only we and more importantly health care professionals were made aware of this condition and publicised it, we could all get treatment early.
I have step daughter in laws and they have daughters. I am going to make sure they are aware and that they tell friends and add things to their social media stuff ( that I don't do). Knowledge is power, as they say.

Yes I have also been sharing the knowledge. It wouldnt have been a subject to talk about in previous generations.

Just as CLKD has said - a peri and meno symptom.

It was my back that was always itching when i was peri. Bought a back scracher it was so bad. I only get it every so often now.

I’ve had a headache every day since starting Evorel Conti it must be the Noristerone because I’d get headaches daily for 2 weeks of the month when I was on Evorel sequi and taking the patch with noristerone in

Hi,

When I first complained about my swelling lower legs, at ca 45, my then GP asked me what my mother's and other women's in family legs were like. They were awful. Pain, swelling, the lot. Genetic!

True or not, now at 69, I wear compression stockings every day for all that swelling for years resulted in dermatological condition called varicose eczema.

I know, my lifestyle contributed to it! If I walked more instead of sitting whole days at my computer, and properly creamed my skin regularly, things could be different. Regular brisk walking helps!

Retention comes and goes, in my hands too, and I still have no clue what triggers it. No one ever told me either.  From my symptoms, I am guessing it has something to do with small blood vessels and circulation.
That appeared as one from very first  changes even before peri. ..later with bloating, food sensitivities, and more and more jazz as years passed by... but I can recall few events before, like long train journey in hot weather, or hot day at work sitting,  or bad PMT, after which my lower legs would go into elephant size..  ..
I am on HRT.
How it would be without it? I will never know!  But I do not think my retention is HRT related. My mother, my aunt, my grandmother, had an awful one. Mother drank potassium for it..and poisoned herself with it not once. I wear knee-highs.

Hi

I've been prescribed testosterone, using a pump every other day. My breasts are v tender. I'm post menopause and have been taking hrt for for 7 years so know it's definitely the introduction of testosterone causing the soreness.
Should I persevere, cut down or stop?
Anyone else had this problem? No other symptoms
Any advice or insights appreciated
Thank you

I am on oestrogel 2-3pumos but having new night sweats moody anxiety weight gain symptoms. I have a coil in also. Menopause clinic did my bloods oestrogen levels satisfactory but virtually nil progesterone. Dr has advised 100mg utergestan which previously gave me headache low mood.
I am wondering are progesterone levels low with the coil? Also why would I need oral/ vaginal form when I have the coil? Is this hormone generally checked in menopause and does help with the weight by balancing out with the oestrogen.
I have read about oestrogen dominance.
I would love to hear the forums thoughts advice on this. I am nervous restarting it as I had very low mood last time. I took it vaginally last night and read somewhere alternative nights to take it?
Confused! 😐

Thank you Mary.

Unfortunately it's hormonal manipulation that causes them.  But I need to try stuff fur the other hell.

So propranolol. You get on fine with it? Works well? I do have quite low blood pressure - so a bit concerned there...

What is a calcium channel blocker?? X

Low oestrogen levels.  I has various itchy places when in peri..  Fortunately they resolved without requiring HRT.  I use 'vaseline' hand cream in the yellow bottle as well as 'nivea' .......... regularly applied where necessary.  Last couple of weeks it's been the Achilles areas on both ankles .......

For years it was my insteps as soon as I removed my socks each evening.  I would wake in the night scratching one foot with the other very rough heel  .
