I started HRT a little over 2 months ago and I was feeling very positive about it like I was doing something in my favor but it is dawning on me now that it is in fact causing me problems.
I am more obese even though I’m certain I am eating far less and the phantom tingling in my feet isn’t phantom at all or in my imagination like I thought when it appeared some weeks back.
I did Google on it and HRT can induce diabetes so I am cutting my dose in half over the next few days and taking myself off of it.
I had so wanted it to be beneficial for me but it looks like it’s hurting me instead.
I am glad that I was paying attention and astute to these changes.

I had to look it up.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medications are used to treat menopausal symptoms by replacing the estrogen that the body stops producing after menopause.

Yes. I’m 58 and I thought I would give it a try. Not for me.

I’m 53 and using it to treat my migraines – it has helped reduce the migraines, BUT I’ve put on 10kilos over the 2 years I’ve been taking it – even though I eat less, walk more… I’m weaning myself off it, and aiming to come off it for good next year (meeting with the neurologist soon to discuss options). Good luck with your treatment journey! Linda xx

Hello and thank you Linda! I got bloodwork done like on the same day I stopped taking it and for the first time in my life it showed that I was pre diabetic.

Thank you for the warning. I’ve heard more bad than good about HRT. Glad you caught the side effects before it got worse.
