What Do You Suggest For Being On HRT Patches?

I have been on HRT patches for 8 years and my general GP says I am over the 5yr period safe to stay on them etc. No advise as to how to wean off them but have tried but after two weeks the sweating, flushes and really feeling out of body feelings were too great. I believe an Endocrinologist would be able to assist but can not find someone specialising in this field in the Hunter Area. Bio identical products may be better than horse urine but it seems anyone offering these products do not do close monitoring either obviously I would like to try and stop using Climara patches and progest.tabs.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As your G.P. says it is not advisable to to continue the H.R.T. drugs for longer periods.
Now you are getting hot flushes, due to the lack of hormone in the body. In case of absence of the endocrinologist , alternatively you can consult a gynecologist or a physician for treatment .
Physician will take care of the psychological factor as well.
He may prescribe you some anxiolytics for relief of the anxiety part of the hives.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods, to have a good health,and recovery from the diseases,and resistance.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
