I’m 58 and have been in HRT for a few years, oestrogel and Utrogestan.
Generally my symptoms are under control apart from a couple of days a month when my anger/ rage/ temper is ridiculous.
Yesterday I blew my top at something that really wasn’t such a big deal. A different day, I’d have been a bit frustrated and that would have been it.
Unfortunately, I said some awful things, was emotional and utterly horrible . I absolutely cannot shut up and calm down while I’m in the midst of a rant, I could kick myself for not being in control.
I felt crap for the rest of the day, probably a combination of adrenaline and regret. I’ve still felt off today, out of kilter and twitchy, not sure if that makes sense.
I’ve spent a couple of hours in the garden, raking leaves and tidying up, which has helped a little but I know it’s going to be at least tomorrow before I feel back to normal.
Ive made an appointment with an advanced nurse practitioner, it’s not for another two weeks but better than trying to get in with a doctor as there’s nothing available for five weeks. I’ll explain what I’m like but I’m not sure what to expect.
I’ve wondered if something like beta blockers might help?
The previous nurse mentioned them a couple of years ago but then changed her mind and said they would only really help me if I was anxious.
Ideally , I just want something that will help calm me down for the odd days I feel like turning into the Tasmanian devil.
Anyone got any ideas please before my relationship is beyond repair?
Thanks
