Title: elleste solo side effects
Post by: Yvie168 on February 19, 2014, 02:11:56 PM
Story so far, sleep seems to be settling down (thank goodness - exhaused), as do the hot flushes (10 days in), but I'm bloated and retaining fluid (normal side-effect?)
but
in between all that, my thighs/upper legs are really cold  :(
anybody else have this?
I have generally got poor circulation, but then I've always smoked up until 16 weeks ago  :)
other "bits" feel a bit swollen?
boobs are fine :)

Hi , I have been on this hrt for a year and was doing fine but the last few weeks after going from 1mg to 2mg tablet form I had to change to patches.The reason I changed was because of side affects mine being cramp and pain in my legs it is still bothering me so I hope it will calm down as I get used to the higher dose. If you are not happy go back to gp and have a chat .

Thank you! Yes I was on the 2mg patch but it send me rocketing skywards, so I stopped for a while, and now on 1mg tab.
I'm not worried yet, as it seems to be settling down a bit... but will have no hesitation going back if necessary

Thanks! Yvie  :)
