So I'm finally starting to feel a bit more normal.
Mirena is starting to settle.
Good news - I have finally been given patches! Yay!
My question is, I have just been changed from sandrena gel to estraderm 25. My brain feels a little bit foggy, I had the occasional dizziness, and my chest felt a bit wheezy. Not of these symptoms are life threatening but I just wondered if it was my body adjusting to a new form of HRT?

Wheezy chest would not be a symptom of anything to do with patches, that sounds more like coincidence or an allergy to something else as I don't think anything on the patches is absorbed systemically apart from the estradiol and you have been taking that and this is not a side effect.
Thing is 25 mcg is a very low dose so depends what dose of Sandrena you changed from. I would expect to notice a difference but of course depends how well you absorb from the different methods.
Hopefully all of this will settle soon.
