Hello Ladies. I am new to this forum and HRT. I am 57. Last period was over 2 years ago.
I've been suffering badly for about a year with Insomnia,(2 hours sleep per night average) hot sweats, dizziness, nausea, foggy head and ears ringing.
My GP suggested Evorel Conti Patches, as I have had migraines for many years.
I started the patches 10 days ago, changing them Mondays and Fridays.
However I am now getting really bad period-type stomach pains (No bleeding) They are like really bad cramps.
I've also got worse nausea.
Spoke to my GP on the phone today, and he said to persevere for a few more weeks. He even suggested cutting a patch in half and trying that for a while. If that doesnt help, he said it may mean I cant use HRT.
So right now, I have been in bed all day, feeling so poorly. Cant face food. Nausea, dizzy and cramps.
Please ladies......does this get better? Do I just have to hibernate for a while until my body gets used to the patch?
I hope somebody will be able to help me. Thank you.
