Hi Sheila I am on HRT, I spent so long feeling ill with menopausal symptoms and decided after 2 years to tell my GP I wanted HRT. They done 2 blood tests which said I wants menopausal however those tests aren’t that accurate. Night sweats, anxiety, hot flushes the whole lot made me feel like a different person. Now a few months on I feel much better, started with a low patch initially and after 3 weeks could feel the difference. Then got it upped because symptoms started again and feeling the benefit of that now.

Have a look at the “Balance” app by Dr Louise Newson it’s so helpful and there is also a forum on there too x
