Day 2 of HRT, after being diagnosed recently with menopause. Estradot 37.5.
I felt really strange yesterday (first 24hrs); disoriented and an ‘out of body’ experience. Just a-bit ‘weird’
Today I feel better.
menopause Symptoms:- Hip pain, brain fog, emotional, over thinking and worrying about things I can’t change &/ or control.
Hoping to feel like the old me soon. I’d love to know what other peoples experiences are.

Morning. Pretty similar to yours I think ::)
You are peri-menopause unless your periods have finished.
I feel weird a lot due to the mix of medication that I take to ease depression and anxiety. Plus a VitD capsule and something to ease heart burn.
As oestrogen levels drop muscles may become lax = aches and pains. The body may become dry: inside and out; deep in the ears, nostrils, skin, vagina :o, scalp, eyes ..... DH and I use Nivea or 'vaseline' hand creams where necessary.
When I ache I find that 'nurofen' is enough to keep feelings away. Browse round. Make notes ;-)
Let us know how you get on. It can take 4-5 months B4 the body takes up the HRT regime which can be a bit Trial and Error.

Thank you CLKD
Honestly…. This menopause chapter is a right palava ;D
I don’t have periods as have a partial hysterectomy 14 years ago.
Are you starting to feel brighter?
