    • About Me

      I was on HRT for 2 years as I am menopausal. I came off of it as I was smoking due to feeling bad. Then stopped smoking. Been for hysteroscopy etc. Test of mid Sept suggested hyperthyroidism. More tests. In between I was "foggy" and manic and got some betablockers and a lecture on drinking. Now I am hypo - at 14. I thought my symptoms were changing quickly over this 3 week period, like freezing and having sweats. It has taken some time for me to be tested as the medics thought it was all menopause. Now I have clonidine to stop the sweats and have to go for more tests in a week or so. I can feel myself growing fatter! Obviously I had thought weight gain was due to stopping smoking. Then I seemed to lose a bit (I am talking fluctuations between sizes 12-14).
