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.
Hi, oh that sounds really rough. I'd suggest to go back to your GP again and ask their advice. Best wishes
Thank you. I have contacted my GP again. Best wishes to you too.
