“Just wondering why the writing on the instruction leaflet for HRT patches is so small…
By definition, it’s usually for women “of a certain age”…
Larger print might be an idea. Jus’ sayin’…Anyway…
I slapped that patch onto my ample thigh, in line with the instructions of “applying to any area below the waistline”…
I was off! On the brink of a (hopefully) new and improved life…
Filled with hope and optimism that my hair would become in manner of a Herbal Essence ad…
My libido would have me jumping off wardrobes…
And my energy levels would finally see me sorting out my tins cupboard…
Nothing happened for a few days (as expected), then on day 4, I noticed…
→ I felt incredibly thirsty…
→ My eyes were super dry…
→ And constipation had become my best friend…
These 3 side effects arrived like the 3 horsemen of the meno-apocalypse…
They weren’t welcome, but undeterred, I pushed on…
The end of the first week saw mild palpitations creeping in…
BUT! Joy of joys…
That all-day headache was lifting…And I was there for it.
Was this the start of things improving for me?
Should I clear the top of the wardrobe in readiness for antics?
