Struggling with menopause after hysterectomy

Following a full hysterectomy 2 months ago. My gp can't see me until next week for hrt.
The symptoms are brutal. My anxiety is terrible and my mood is low. My eye sight is deteriorating and they are blurry /dry. My boobs are so sore, worse than pregnancy. The palms of my hands and feet are itchy and scorching hot. My skin is itchy. I am forgetting everything, to the point I feel I've got dementia. Sleep is poor. To top it off I've started a new job and my confidence is zero. I just hope my symptoms improve with hrt.
It would be lovely to hear from others that have gone through the same x

Thank you, I've started the vagirux. How long until the hrt works? I've been put on 2 pumps but can increase to 3? Does hrt make you tired. I am shattered since starting, but interestingly my sleep has been so much better x

HRT has made me exhausted. I need to sleep for much longer at night and I feel quite lethargic during the day.

I blame the progesterone in my Mirena.

The testosterone did give me a bit of energy back.
