Hi

I had to come off HRT cold turkey 4 weeks ago.  I was wondering if anyone else has had symptoms similar to mine?

i have become very anxious.  My mouth is constantly dry.   About 3.30am I wake up with a burning sensation down my arms and in my stomach then I begin to physically shake.  I then have several bouts of diarrhoea.  Also getting lots of trapped wind and back pain.  I did see the GP who thinks it may be IBS and she gave me some diazepam to take one in the morning.  It hasn’t really made any difference.  I have also lost too much weight.  I force myself to eat but the weight isn’t coming back on.

The wound from my surgery is healing nicely and the above symptoms are causing me the anxiety.
