I'm 52, periods been getting further part for a couple of years and last one was 4 months ago.
I feel crap Ache all over, get phantom period pains without bleeding, I'm emotional, forgetful, clumsy, anxious and depressed, get hot flushes, my vagina is very dry and I've no libido.
I'm going to try and get an appointment with a female doctor but in the meantime wanted to ask about how you all are getting on with hrt.
My main concerns are that I couldnt take the combined pill due to the occasional migraine. Isn't hrt similar to the combined pill? So maybe I can't take it?
What are the side effect risks? I'm a chronic worrier and suffer a little with health anxiety so don't want to constantly worry about heart attacks, strokes etc.
I'm currently using vagifem but it's not helping much.
Finally any recommendations? I've heard assume hrt preparations are made from horse ingredients which I don't like the sound of.
Sorry if these are stupid questions .. I know how quickly I'll be in and out of the surgery without a chance to ask questions. .. even if I could remember them!
TIA
