Title: Elleste duet 1mg
Post by: Kimwood on February 20, 2017, 05:45:33 PM
Hi I have been on Elleste duet 1mg  for 7 weeks. My night and day flushes have stopped which was fab BUT not long into taking it I developed very, very itchy lumps on my arms, leg's and back. The first one appeared on the palm of my hand! They look like bites. I asked my gp if this could have been from taking the hrt. She didn't seem to think it was but obviously I wouldn't know until I stopped it for a while. So I have stopped in the last day or so to eliminate it. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same symptoms  :'(

 :welcomemm:  we have several mentions of allergies at this time of Life ........ sometimes it's the fillers or coatings on medications that cause problems (in any medical speciality) .......... also, as oestrogen levels drop apparently the body may become dry: eyes, nostrils, vagina, skin  ::)
