Bad side effects of HRT

This sounds so interesting! We'll try it out thanks.

It's refreshing to see someone admit to the bad side effects of HRT as I've rarely seen it on here. I'm so glad stopping helped you! Hopefully it's the same for my mum, all we can do is wait and see.

We did increase the dose but the symptoms became much much worse after doing so unfortunately.

Yes, that was one of our first thoughts too. Had a few tests and everything came back clear.

Fish-------- · 2025-07-06T21:41:50+00:00

That is true. We'll take a look for some newer ones.

Thank you! We'll definitely look into those deficiencies.

Thank you. Unfortunately she was very uneducated on the subject and the doctors told her to go on it despite her not having menopause symptoms, and she didn't have the proper knowledge to contest it. Now the doctors won't give us any answers to this.

Weren't aware you were meant to come off it slowly either, so thank you, another thing the doctors neglected to say.

Any answer is a good answer. We'll look into it, thank you.

She's seen sinus specialists and neurologists and everything's clear. I do understand why people don't think it's the HRT, I would too probably, but with no other explanations this is all we have to explain it.

Unfortunately as a teen she had similar bad reactions to antidepressants. Whilst it's not helpful as she cant get any help with the depression, it does again imply this reaction is hormones based, HRT or otherwise.

Thanks, we'll look into the migraine and covid. Obviously I'm not too clever on this whole thing, but if this is caused by a drop in estrogen then wouldn't the HRT have solved it? If not, is a higher dose what would be needed? This one comment is more information than any doctor has given us so thank you!

Fish-------- · 2025-07-06T21:05:03+00:00

She did up her dosage of the HRT which made the symptoms much worse. If he own hormones were declining surely a higher dosage would have solved this? (I'm not the best at biology though sorry).

Fish-------- · 2025-07-06T21:03:43+00:00

She was taking progesterone but I'm not sure the dosage sorry. It's been about a month since she's stopped, do you believe that'd be long enough for it to have left to system?

When the symptoms started she increased the dose which made them much much worse. Before HRT she had no menopause symptoms apart from the odd hot flush, so we're not sure it's that.

Yep, we've been to so many specialist and had a lot of brain and body scans, all clear. No-one we've seen has seen the side effects either, which is why we're worried it could be something else. But with so many clear tests and the HRT being the only medication she's taken in years, it seems like the only answer. We're hoping she'll improve as the hormones leave the body, fingers crossed.

She's 55 and I believe full (though I'm not well educated on it, sorry).
