bit complicated but i had a hysterectomy in my 20s and I am now 61.pre hysterectomy i was given hormones to try to correct problems but they nearly drove me mad. i was a panicking gibbering wreck but once i had my op i went on HRT and stayed on until I was 59. i had no problems and over the years i was given Pregabalin, veneflaxin and propranol for mental health problems. last breakdown was about 6 years ago and I have been fine more or less ever since.
anyway i came off HRT due to the immense number of female cancers but though with my partner we had a good sex life things went down hill all the time .i was sore and just could not tolerate sex.
Dr prescribed a cream that i inserted in my vagina and said maybe every night for 3 weeks but it still did not improve things so i went back on HRT gel as well. things were not too good again so the GP said use the cream inside every night and the HRT gel.
I was also given Replens but to be honest dryness has never been a problem. since beginning of the week i have had a bad headache and I feel a bit panicky not a full blown panic attack but a sort of nervous feeling underneath. it has not helped me and I have been worrying about another breakdown but i do not think it is that. i am wondering if i am overloaded with hormones now like years ago? so i am thinking of dropping the cream to insert just twice a week like the original instruction. i just hate feeling like this can anyone give me any helpful advice? i do not want to go to GP again just to have more creams or pills
it seems to be upsetting my irritable bladder plus I am terrified of having sex in case it hurts which as you can imagine does not make for a good home life!
