Yep Skirty it’s a positive story from me! Started five years ago at the age of 64 following 12 years of shear hell. I have got my life back now and wish I had started a lot earlier but we can’t turn back the clock! I’m on an oestrogen only patch as had a hysterectomy. Doesn’t solve all my problems but it has certainly given me back my life. Had a major operation three years ago and I asked the consultant if he wanted me to remove the patch before the op. His words were ‘I would never part a patient from their patch, my wife would kill me’!

I should have said when I first went on it it transformed my life.

I have been on it for over 30 years. No side effects, no weight gain or aches and pains and my bones are as strong as they have ever been.

I was on patches and tablets for ten years to help with anxiety. It helped a lot and I had then and have now no side effects!
I hope this helps.
(It was too long ago to remember what I was on - sorry)

Hi, Could I please hear some positive stories re HRT ? I ha e recently started Evorel sequi and am praying it will give me back my old self to some degree instead of the anxious old aching woman I’ve become . I’m 51 and decided that my quality of life was so poor that I would go for it . I know all of the scare stories / risks etc but would love to hear some positives, if there are any !
