Hi all, need some help or your experience thst helped.
I was good on oral 2mg estrogen until I got vaccine March 21 and then covid I’m April. Since then I’m truly struggling, waking with palps, racing heart, headaches, anxiety like surges of it so fluctuations, fatigue, it’s all really impacting hugely. Tried increasing but did not suit me I’m 61.
My question is ….has anything similar happened to anyone and have you found switching regime helped?
Tablet seems to be in blood as level was 444. It appears to be receptor issue after covid jab.
Many thanks ladies🌺

I found transdermal (patches) much better than tablets. I believe so much is lost through the liver when taking tablets. I can’t comment on the covid factor though, but you could always give it a go. Wishing you well x

Thank you peri for your kind reply🌺 I think I will have to try something else as can’t be any worse x

Hi sweettooth
Much like you Covid and the vaccine has completely upset my regime.
I am now on a patch plus gel and struggling to find the sweet spot.
I do find it better than the Femeston I was on before as it’s easier to tweak the dose.

Hi Nik, Tk you. Sorry you had trouble too. Can I ask why you are on two difference methods plz?

Hi
I use a 100 patch but need more oestrogen sometimes so top up with gel. It’s easier for me than cutting patches.
