Hello again - I've just read my last post and realised that I didn't ask my questions. What I would like to know please is if anyone else experiences these horrible dry mouth/eyes and if they found any relief by taking HRT - saying that my GP wouldn't even consider it - he just said "we'll see how you cope for a couple of months as if I prescribe HRT then I'm just delaying all of the symptoms that you'll have to experience when you come off it" . Thank you x :'(

Hi donkeyontheedge - welcome to the forum!
Your doctor is being very unfair - is there another doc you can see? Also, have you been tested for sjogrens syndrome? This causes dry eyes and mouth http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Sjogrens-syndrome/Pages/Introduction.aspx

:welcomemm:
have you read the menus, left of screen? Go back to your GP and tell him/her that you are not prepared to wait and that HRT can protect heart and bones !

Do you have the same doc as me!!!!! As well as numerous other symptoms I also have dry eye and mouth.i constantly drink water...use systane drops for eyes. I was on prempac c HRT for 2 year and did not have one single meno symptom for the two years I was on it.unforturnately my doc, woman by the way, insisted I come off it and was totally unsympathetic. I was terrified I would go back to feeling the same way.....it was much worse!!! After having some great advice from some of the girls on here I am going back to the doc, and insisting I need help!!ah, probably come out a blubbering wreck.!!!!

Change your GP or talk with your Practice Nurse first!
