Hi,
I have been on HRT since the end of July, taking 1mg of Sandrena oestrogen gel a day, and 200mg of progesterone for the first 12 days of each calendar month. So far, it's helped my hot flushes a lot, I tend to have a little more energy than before, and with the progesterone I have been sleeping so much better.
However, I've felt the return of some of the hot flushes in the last couple of weeks. Nothing like before, but I still get drippy at times! Getting an appointment with the GP is a nightmare here - mine is actually a Dr at our local menopause clinic and is very knowledgeable, but getting a chance to speak to her is difficult in the extreme. I will try but I wanted to see if anyone out there had had a similar experience and then increased a little to a higher dose of oestrogen?
Also - might sound strange but has anyone had severe dry eyes with menopause? I am struggling so badly with this - my eyes feel bone dry if I wake up at night to go to the loo. I can't bear to open them for a more than a second at a time until they start tearing. I've tried every eye drop out there, eye masks, etc but nothing helps. Desperate!
