Hi how are you,i quit the patch and im trying the higher dose of menest again and no promtrium i cant deal with the dizziness or down way it makes me feel..but breasts and back still hurt and no increase on energy or sex drive,my breasts never hurt untill trying hormones,,,have you came up with anyone,im ready to stop all of them i see dr dec 6 tried to get in earlier but couldnt...I was getting sex drive back and now its going again i dont get it im on the compounded t and since i dont have my ovaries i dont really need progest,im so tired of breasts hurting,maybe its caused i have so many changes in estrogen,,i will stick with the menest and see if that helps/I have no ideas

thank you so much,i need all the help i can get,this Np im seeing is the only one in my area and she seems very concerned,i just often wonder if its my other meds interfering.

are you applying Vivelle on front lower abdomen approx where ovaries used to be but just a tad lower? most drs tell ladies to use the abdomen Ive heard of some using back or even rear end...I think where you place it matters and I know for a FACT that you should alternate sides every other time,
Im sorry your having such a difficult time ,,everyone own personaly chemistry is different and what works for the majproty is not working for you so it makes it a havoc of switching and trying until they get the right combo for you and they will PLEASE dont give up ...Ive had ladies come on here from other sites who did and spent years being miserable,,I know your hormones are way off and your not happy but stick with me,,,,stick with the DRs ...get a second opinion ...I am going to do some reading for you and I will send you a PM with some better educated thoughts tonight ok?

hang in ther together we will get this right!

Oh  great one of the side effects of vivelle dot patch is back ache,,that explains my lower back pain,,,it did happen after going on vivelle,but i am thinking clearer maybe it willl go away

she does specialize in bioidenticals,,,im thinking its me...she is trying alot,but ther promtrium depresses me

I would suggest you find a new branch of Nurse Practioners who specialise in hormonal issues , bio identical hormone therapy and menopause, they are very helpful and since its all they do they can often find answers that drs may over look

good luck, you can find these in most hospitals, or chec local phone book
