Hormone Replacement Therapy
Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 11:24 am
I am 56 yrs old and going through the lovely cycle of menopause and am dealing with all the symptoms of this process. Alot of the symptoms are as bad as the ones I suffer with my OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) depression, anxiety, mood swings, terrible hot flashes, and symptoms of my RLS like insomnia, depression, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, etc. etc.
So I have decided after much research and discussions with my family dr. to start HRT at a very low dose once a day. Today is day one and it will be 6 to 8 weeks before I see any difference.
My questions for the group: is anyone else on HRT? Did it exacerbate their RLS? Can you tell me if it helped you? I am looking for any and all input.
Thank you so very much!
