Hi everyone,
I had a full hyst 2 years ago due to endo. Also have adhesions, femoral nerve pain and mobility probs. This then developed into joint pain, fatigue etc. Was diagnosed with fibro 2 years ago.
I was on estrogel originally but found it messy and it didn't help joint pain etc which I though could be hormonal. Changed to Livial as had been on that when having prostap injections for endo treatment.
I have got to the point where livial is making me feel worse so keep stopping and starting it which isn't a good idea (its difficult for me to tell how many of my symptoms are menopause and how many are fibro)
I want to try a new HRT to see if I improve. I'm considering bioidentical hormones but also wondering if people use a patch which they have found helps and at which dosage, my GP seems clueless!
Also have asked about DEXA scan but told not necessary, any views? Including the time on prostap I have been menopausal for 5 years which I when the Rheumatologist said I would need a scan but he didn't include this on his letter to the GP. Have also had vit D deficiency in the past, don't eat much dairy and in bed most of the time due to fibro so no weight bearing exercise.
Thanks.
