Title: 10 weeks into HRT brain fog worse
Post by: Magpie_meno on June 26, 2025, 04:17:47 PM

Looking for advice please, I’m 10 weeks into HRT (evorel 50 and continuousl Slynd as prog intolerant) My brain fog has been getting much worse the past couple of weeks, this week has been shocking. Do I have to wait another two weeks for my review with gp or would it be acceptable to try to see them tomorrow? I’ve definitely felt a benefit (less night sweats, calmer moods) but this brain fog is getting scary and the increase hot flushes/severe dry scalp/itchy inner ears/dry vulva/insomnia is starting to drive me a bit mad. I’m thinking I may need higher evorel. Am 44 and peri, middle of divorce with two children too. Help please!

Hi there, how did you get on with this please? I’ve just been prescribed this this morning - patches starting at 25mg increasing to 100mg after a month (gradually). Hope you’re ok now!
