Not for me although it definitely helped with the insomnia and night sweats

LizB62A · 07/06/2019 23:13

It seems to have helped my fatigue a bit - definitely fewer aches and pains too, and my brain is (slightly) less foggy too Smile

thenightsky · 07/06/2019 23:16

Yes, definitely, in my case.

Mrsjayy · 07/06/2019 23:16

Yes I think so ive not had as many waves of tiredness since i have been on Hrt .

OffYouPopDoll · 07/06/2019 23:19

It hasn't helped with my fatigue but done wonders for my night sweats.

This is very interesting as I had a hysterectomy at 21 - kept my ovaries- now 42 and suffering from extreme fatigue, generally exhausted... could it be my hormones? I was told I could go into early menopause....

MrsBlondie · 07/06/2019 23:22

Im suffering with this too. Its horrible.

After trying 3 different types of hrt I think that my current is helpful with energy and well being in general. I think that our body finally adjust at lower estrogen levels and our brain and psychology play a huge role.

I find that just having a good night's sleep for a change helped a lot.Less aches to and my hair stopped falling out.I also took vitamin d for the first time this winter.

For me and many women I know, HRT has been amazing. Literally changed everything. If you can get it, don't wait another day. There is no reason to suffer like this.

letsdolunch321 · 08/06/2019 11:44

Helped with my fatigue, headaches and generally feeling better

JinglingHellsBells · 08/06/2019 11:47

I assume it does. I started HRT around 6 months after my final period and have used it for 11 years. I feel as good as I did before menopause but I also try really hard with my diet and exercise, and I've cut back on work so it's very part time now.

HRT helped me with everything, I no longer need or want to nap in the day (apart from after a very big night out Wink).

Corndog · 10/06/2019 15:15

Yes, it has been miraculous

lu9months · 10/06/2019 18:36

thanks all. for those who have had a big reduction in their fatigue levels, what do you use? im seeing the gp next week but not sure what the options are

Femoston. Started off on the smallest dose available

Mrsjayy · 10/06/2019 20:13

Im also on femston tablets i have a review due I think i need it upped

LizB62A · 16/06/2019 22:48

I'm on Evorel Conti patches

Fibbke · 16/06/2019 22:51

I'm in femoston. I sleep well but find it really really hard to get up in the morning. I don't really wake up until 2pm!

DeadBod · 16/06/2019 22:58

I'm on Tiberlone. I tried 3 different types of HRT from my doctor before seeing another doctor who specialises in HRT. She recommended this one after hearing extreme tiredness was a problem and the difference was amazing.

princessTiasmum · 17/06/2019 15:12

LizB62A are you post meno, my Dr has just switched me onto Evoral Conti, but i have read more bad reports than good, like hair loss which i already have,[ been on livial,] although that might be coincidence, so don;t want more hair loss,also bleeding, which i don;t want either,plus stomach cramps, not many positive stories,
How long have you been on them
I am very reluctant now to start them
