Yorkshire Girl - how are you getting on?
I have been happy on Evorel 75, Mirena, Testim and vagifem since my BSO in December 2015, but suddenly at the start of October I started feeling exactly as you have described. Lack of energy, aching, sudden loss of interest in things I used to love (the gym), disturbed sleep, cold flashes.
I thought it could be the progesterone in the Mirena running out. This happened to me pre-op when my Mirena ran out, and I knew immediately.
Saw my meno specialist at Mr Panay's clinic who said it's much more likely low estrogen and said I might be in peri-menopause as I'm now 41. That confused me because I thought I was in complete and utter surgical menopause. Do I have to have a natural one too?!
She suggested I use a cut up patch to put me to 100mcg estrogen. Within 1 day I felt immensely better, but 4 days later (including a hard workout at the gym) I crashed back down to even lower than I was before. This was last Wednesday. On Friday night I put on a 1/2 patch as well to make 112.5mcg and I felt not too bad Saturday, but today pretty fed up.
I don't get how I can be so level and good for 3 years then so suddenly crash.

After doing so well on Everol 75, I suddenly started feeling pretty awful, also fed up with very low libido, lack of energy, aches and pain in my muscles + joints & hardly sleeping, I've just been prescribed Tibolone, will start tomorrow but I'm very apprehensive, will see how it goes.
