Okay, I give. I'm going to try and find a gynecologist tomorrow and see if I can start HRT. My GP isn't comfortable prescribing them for me because I can't just do the estrogen patch so I need a specialist. The gyno I saw earlier this year suggested them and I could just go back to her, but I didn't really care much for her or for the practice. If the waiting times are too long for a new doctor I might just see if I can get in with her, but I'd rather not.
But I'm tired.
I'm tired of not being able to regulate heat. Like if it's hot outside I cannot tolerate it. And I'm not talking hot like over 100 I mean hot like anything over mid 80s and I'm going to get sick. It's not great.
I'm tired of how easily I bruise and how hard it is to keep muscle tone and how dry my skin is.
I'm also just flat out tired. Sleep has never been easy for me and now adding in the hot flashes and menopausal insomnia on top of my regular insomnia issues. I'm just tired.
I'm tired of the symptoms and side effects and if HRT can get rid of those? Then okay. I have a few friends who have gone on them and they've said it made a world of difference. One of the trainers I follow mentioned that a few of the women they trained raved about how much better, just over all better, they felt once they started HRT.
I'm also a little worried. I've had issues with hormone imbalances in the past and they weren't fun. I went off of birth control pills years ago because I much preferred my own hormonal cycles to the medicated ones. But I'm willing to give it a try. Worst case scenario it doesn't work for me and I stop. I won't be any worse off than I am now so why not right?
I'll let you know how it goes.
Next stop on the menopause tour, trying to get HRT to just stop being so gosh darned tired.
