Hello - started 2 pumps of oestrogel last Friday. Until yesterday was taking it in morning. Every day I have taken it I hit a wall of exhaustion at 3pm. I tried it last night and this morning I feel hungover/jet lagged and can’t keep my eyes open. These effects are much worse than the symptoms I was trying to treat. I am on the point of giving up - I have an extremely demanding job that I simply cannot do when I am affected like this. I expected an upset stomach or something like that in terms of side effects. There is no possibility this is anything else - I have never felt like this before and it is definitely nothing like my underlying symptoms. Does anyone have experience of this and did it quickly turn a corner? Is the patch better? How do people cope with demanding jobs? Any help, guidance, views would be gratefully received.
