It would seem that my hypertension was being caused by the HRT.<br /><br />Sadly, the meds given to me to combat the hypertension caused by the HRT turned me into a 'bed-loving, unable to stay awake or string more than two words together' zombie.<br /><br />I am now completely on my own. So far the Hot Flush Fairy seems to be filing her nails. I will let you know when she turns sharpened nails against me.Robin Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378495880569671179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728897616036072467.post-33560925786015420662010-11-10T09:10:35.279+00:002010-11-10T09:10:35.279+00:00Thanks for these comments ... and whilst, of cours...Thanks for these comments ... and whilst, of course, not advocating self-medication, if I continue to be plagued by the horrid fairy, I may well give a foreign pharmacy a try for some tablets, gel or patches. If I don't I could end up sectioning myself!<br /><br />And of course back up in the form of other people shaking their fists at the Fairy on my behalf will, I'm sure, encourage her to return to wherever it was she came. Or perhaps she could be redirected to people I don't like?<br /><br />Hugs, especially virtual ones, whilst I'm feeling so "heated" - are ALWAYS appreciated!Karen Redmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368078023802765569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728897616036072467.post-11536116655893664032010-11-10T07:54:44.388+00:002010-11-10T07:54:44.388+00:00As only a simple male who doesn't get visited ...As only a simple male who doesn't get visited by fairies and cannot, therefore, know how you are feeling all I can offer is a hug - albeit from a distance lest it, too, create a warmth that is irksome - and much love from both of us...

She very quickly started going Menopausally nuts! She started getting her own HRT in the form of patches over the counter on trips to Portugal. There is a Portuguese online pharmacy where you can buy the Promarin tablets online here : http://portugal.internationalpharmacy.eu.com/ I suspect that a bit more digging will throw up the patches too. <br /><br />I'm not encouraging anyone to do this without the full knowledge required to take control of yourown health and medications. If you have had HRt withdrawn due to certain cancers or really strong contraindications then please dont do this lightly but if you feel you need to do this then all I can say is it really stopped my mother from the intense hot flushes and the hormonal rages.<br /><br />PS I also have a slanket and my sons keep trying to mug me for it!Nickynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728897616036072467.post-74667135305183030572010-11-09T23:21:58.153+00:002010-11-09T23:21:58.153+00:00Curse this foul beast that is the hot flush fairy,...Curse this foul beast that is the hot flush fairy, how dare she cast her evil magic over you!<br /><br />But you bought a SLANKET!crpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740212737574269503noreply@blogger.com
