My last period was Aug 2010 yay. In 3022 I started bleeding again grr. I had lost if test thrown at me on 2 week cancer watch. Thank you. Colonoscopy, internal ultrasound, nerve conduction to name a few. My womens health/ diabetic nurse gave me hrt never had it and was the first ever time I had been given or talked to about it..... I am now 66!
Anyway, great fantastic my loved returned Big time 😀 my husband and I reconnected on many levels. Then 4 weeks in I started to bleed again :-( nurse changed hrt great bleeding stopped i ws inding the old me, the happy me the fun me. 4 weeks bleeding started again, I am distraught. Another hange of hrt same thing bleeding stopped yada today. Then ayne appointments had first hysteroscopy where the put in a marina coil.... didn't want it as far as I was concerned they were just putting a sticking plaster on the problem.... 6 weeks of bleeding still on hrt. Then rinse and repeat 4 times!!!! Was told to stop ALL hrt which i did. July this year had a final hysteroscopy and coil but this time only 3 days of bleeding! I feel nothing, am miserable, low and no energy, some not very nice thoughts but I'm a coward and I love my grandchildren. Hyperplasia and hypertension were put in the letter.they won't give me any more hrt, told me to get my surgery to remove the coil, he would write a letter BUT because she didn't put they were to remove the could tgey wouldn't!!! FFS. She suggested removal as the coil as it could be causing low mood. When I was first diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2008/9, I was also make redundant at same time I was put on happy pills, which i knew I didn't need but the dr insisted. Once given hrt I weaned my self off of them. They tried the overweight card lolol I had recently dec 2023 lost 3 stone, so no not weight related thank you. I do youga twice a week and aqua twice also despite having spinal stenosis. My hips are in constant pain, mri shows NO arthritis, so all i can put that down to is hormone starvation- gluteal tendinopathy. What is there I can take or use? I want me back.

Hi!
:welcomemm: as oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry: inside and out; deep in the ears, nostrils, eyes, vagina, anus, between the toes, scalp - and muscles may become lax = aches and pains. HRT can help. As can over the counter pain relief .
Oestrogen is the body's elasticity . As it drops we can develop 'chicken arms' etc..
Why would you need to remove the Mirena? Hopefully some1 will be along with more advice, in the mean time browse round, make notes. The search facility is quite good.
I've had bilateral tendonitis in the hips, initially I thought ti was sciatica. Physio advised exercises :-\ ::)
