Hi all
I have been posting recently in new members board. I'm having a rough time taking hrt so have decided to come off it. I have mirena since Oct 18 and have tried patches,tablets and currently taking oestrogel but I can no longer bear the side effects and I'm feeling awful. I'm having awful headaches/migraines,dizziness,nausea and anxiety. I know it's the gel as the symptoms appear about 20 mins after I apply it. My head feels muzzy all day everyday and I'm sick of it.
I know I will suffer with usual menopause symptoms if I stop but I just don't know what else to do. It's almost like I'm allergic to oestrogen if there is such a thing. It's not like I'm on a high dose,maybe half to 1 pump in morning and evening so cannot understand why I'm feeling this way.
Has anyone else stopped taking hrt and how should I do it?
Thanks
