Hi ladies
I'm not sure where to start with this as I am so confused and feeling very sad. As you know I stopped my HRT on the 16th May thinking I was worse on it. That was because I started having severe migranes and floaters and constant loose stools, more so when i changed to patches, I also at times had underlying anxiety but i could cope with that. When my last bloods showed a change in my thyroxine levels i was told to increase my thyroxine to 150mcg. OMG did i feel ill. Agitated, going to the toliet constantly did'nt know which way to turn. I blamed the hrt patch, which i possibly shouldn't have and took it off. When i went back to the GP (unfortunately not the one I usually see who is very supportive) she said they had made a mistake and i shouldn't have been told to increase my thyroxine dose!!!! She feels i am extremely sensitive to medicines at the moment.
Since stopping the HRT and reducing my thyroxine to what it was 125mcg I am having more bad days than good.
They're unwilling to take further bloods to check my hormones until they are sure that the oestrogen i was taking is out of my system and they have said that could take 2 weeks.
Yesterday had a good day but today really bad with anxiety and have had to take propanalol, which the GP gave me for anxiety, I have been prescribed 40mg 3 times a day but have only had to take it once since being prescribed it as I am trying to cope, I cut them in half as well as i am to scared to take the 40.
So now i don't know what to do the GP I saw said they wouldn't consider HRT again for me because of my symptoms but i know they'll try AD's.
I have also read that if your on patches and taking thyroxine, the oestrogen does'nt allow the thyroxine to convert properly? have you ladies heard of this, and that you should take hrt tabs only.
The doc also said i that i did not need to take the propanalol all the time but as i needed it???
My mood is all over the palce, with my poor daughter commenting that i should be back on the patches!! I feel so guilty. 
I have now signed myself off work as I am not really coping. Night time and morning time seem to be worst.
I feel as if I am about to start a period but nothing so far 
I think if i could control the anxiety and sadness i could cope better with all the other symtoms.

After saying I dont comment on HRT hehehe
Well huny me too Im on Propo thingy mines called Idirel and i take 40m but only 20m a day I too cut them in half
Be grateful that your living in a country where you can sign off and still get money so take it OK health is everything
If you dont want the patches dont take them sit daughter down gently and say this is what you have to look forward too Make her understand all you need is someone understanding you loveing you getting how sad you feel &crying
