Feeling horrendous

9 replies

I'm feeling horrible. Week 2 of patches. Have just changed from a year of Lenzetto.

Completely anxious most of the time. Just lot my shit at my kids because of various messes they had made before I got up.

Have had a cracking headache and feel hot flushes, achy joints, and dizzy. Crying or feeling enraged by most things. Overweight and cant shift it. A general feeling that I want to escape my body.

I don't know what to do any more. Slightly at my wits end here

Am I maybe someone who shouldn't take hrt? Do I need more?

Sorry can't help but didn't want to scroll by. Why did you start hrt originally? Could it just be that your body is adjusting to it? You have my sympathy. Menopause is crap.

Sounds like the patches aren't doing much. Why did you swap from lenzetto? Did that work for you?

Lenzetto did work. But felt like it stopped.
Thought I might not be absorbing as was on 3 sprays.
Also hate Utrogestan and thought patches might work-better for me.

Maybe you can try another type of hrt.

I think I might have to. But also suppose you should probably give a new type some tome to settle in.

I stopped hrt. It didn’t agree with me.

Ive really upped my lifestyle ‘treatment’ instead - food, sleep, exercise, no alcohol. For me, this is better than HRT

Wondering about this.
What prompted you to stop?
