Title: Femoston & Gerd
Post by: MissUnderstood on July 31, 2017, 05:12:07 PM: Hi ladies, I hope someone can help me!

I started taking femoston about three months ago & actually started to sleep well again & my hot flushes reduced alot which is all great but having always suffered with indegestion, I now find I have a horrible taste in my mouth most days :(

Doctor gave me medication for it not thinking it is connected to taking her but I am wondering if it is?? I have never experienced this terrible taste before - has anyone else?

Thanks ladies :)

Thanks again. Have a good day 8)

I suppose it all depends on how bad your menopause symptoms are really. We're on our hols right now so will see how things are next week when back in sunny UK!!

I may ask doctor to prescribe 1/5 femoston or try the gels. Am I right in thinking if you have a womb & periods you can't have patches only?

Thank you for your responses. Very helpful :)
