Been on Evorel Sequi for two years (from the age of 48) with no checks from GP (I'm in NI and GP services are really poor for non-urgent stuff, but I check my own weight and BP and they're fine). He just keeps reissuing the same prescription, no questions asked. Over the last few weeks I have been noticing symptoms creeping back - hot flushes, headaches, sore eyes. Went for a hillwalk yesterday which is normally fine and the sweat was pouring off me! I feel that it is particularly bad when I move from the combi patch to the oestrogen-only one, which was Monday. Does it sound as if I need to be on either continuous HRT or a higher dose of oestrogen? TBH I really could do without a pretend 'period' as well, blood loss is tiring and the expense of protection is a pain. Do women of 50 usually transition from sequential to continuous without much bother? My GP has always been a bit of a PITA about HRT and was sceptical about my need to be on it at all, seemed to think I was too young.
