Listers,
At age 49, my gyn has recommended that I reduce HRT again, from current 1/2
CombiPatch to 1/4. It is my fourth week, and for two weeks no symptoms.
Then It Hit. Hot flashes is a mild term for the symptoms I had! Night
sweats, etc. were extremely intense. Then halfway through the third week,
for two whole days I ached horribly. Head-to-toe. Could not even get out
of bed til after 1:30 pm!! very unlike me, luckily I was on a week off from
teaching school. By the third morning, it struck me that these were
hypothyroid symptoms. I am of the mind that the estrogen drop could have
affected my thyroid levels.
Finally got to lab for bloodwork a day later, and have been somewhat better
anyway ever since. Something caused those symptoms, though. Results not in
yet; but I would like to know if anyone has information on thyroid and
estrogen/progesterone levels.
Thanks
Holly
