I've been on HRT for a couple of years now, initially 1 mg then up to 2 a few months ago. Femoston. I've started to get hot flushes and joint pain so I have a doctors appointment to possibly change...is there a higher dosage than 2 mg? Are patches better than pills? I'm 52 and last period was in January...bit clueless as to how to continue but feel that the Femoston isn't cutting the mustard anymore....
