I have been on Evorel 25 for about a year now. I had aching joints and hot flushes at night and until recently that seemed enough. In the last few weeks I am dreadfully stiff and achy and having full on night sweats in the early morning. Last night I could have wrung out my pyjamas. I have gained some weight in lockdown but don’t feel it is just that.
I started peri-menopausal symptoms in my early 40’s and due to heavy bleeding have used the Mirena coil since then, so I don’t know if I am still having periods. My GP recommended having my coil replaced to get the benefit of the hormones although she doesn’t think at 55 I need it for contraception. This was just before lockdown and even normally it is really hard to get this done at my practice.
I have done everything to make myself feel better without HRT before resorting to it. Yoga, walking, changing my diet and I am just sick of feeling this way.
Any advice? I am feeling low anyway and this is really not helping. Thank you.
