Can anyone tell me how long it takes for HRT to start working? I have been taking estradiol and norethindrone acetate for almost two weeks and so far I don't feel very much better. It has helped the hot flashes somewhat but the other symptoms are about the same. Isn't it supposed to help with sleep. This is so miserable. I still cry everyday and the shaking is still bad. This menopause is the worst. I wish I could have been one of those who breezed through it.
I think there have been recent studies showing that mesalamine (Pentasa and Asacol) aren't as effective in controlling IBD after you have had surgery. how long have you been on pred (which is the likely culprit for the weight gain)? because 40 mgs is too high of a dose to be on for any length of time. I would strongly recommend getting a bone density (DEXA) scan to make sure your bones are still doing ok, since age, IBD and prednisone can really decrease your bone mass.
I don't know how long menopause symptoms last. Mine started about 7 years ago, with going from very irregular periods to being so regular you can set a calendar by me. I don't mind the hot flashes so much, but the memory loss - I too put roasts in cupboards at times - and the crying at the drop of a hat bothers me alot. And yes, it seems as each year goes by, I too get more symptoms. Oh joy!
I realize that it must be hard for the Internist to manage everything based on all his medical problems, and we try to keep everyone on the same page (the internist who is the PCP, the mental health clinician, and the neurologist), but it seems to me that the problems always seem to worsen as the levels of the Levothyroxine are increased. I wish I had known about this forum long ago. I appreciate so much your input.
Reiss gives women big-time credit for kind of self-adjusting their hormones based on how they feel and respond. Or, I am wondering if you are at a point where you might call Dr. Erika (Drerika.com) and see what she says. She has been doing this for about 15-20 years.
Let me know how things are going.
