To answer Beauty37, I'm 51, menopause at 45 and treatment since age of 46, ie. 5 years. Actually I live in france & I think it may be different. It's like the pill, 3 weeks on & 1 week off; patches + a tablet. My doctor says I can continue indefinitely with this as no risk factors such as high blood pressure, breast cancer in family, not smoking, etc. The PMS type symptoms are getting gradually worse I'll tell her next time. In particular I crave sugar and I'm pre-diabetic so must be careful!

Sometime hormone problems can be helped by good nutrition.
I used to have mood swings, pmt, drop things, night sweats etc etc when I was in my early 40's.Then I discovered some great advice on nutrition and supplementation. It totally changed my life!!
Now I am in my 50's and am going through the menopause with absolutely no problems at all!! Don't even need HRT because I use a natural alternative. No PMS - no ups and downs. Sleep well!! Completely natural, so I feel great.
Check out the website below.

This is common and not really surprising since this type of cyclic HRT is mimicking the menstrual cycle. It is surprising, considering my 2ND comment that you are still on this type of HRT.
1st issue doctors in UK would definitely NOT suggest you take no health risks with HRT. All HRT in UK is basically now only licensed for effectively 'smallest possible dose shortest possible time' it also is generally now only licenced for symptom relief and definitely not for maintenance. The main concern is increase in breast cancer which begins to become significant over the age of 50 years. There is also a clot risk which increases with age. This risks have been overblown by the media but they are real!
2ND comment once these risks have been explained to you PROPERLY! it can be decided between you and a good medical adviser, perhaps after a trial without HRT, that you wish to continue with some form of HRT. Now that you have not had a natural period for a year most good doctors would discuss with you the use of non-cyclic HRT, this is continuous and would avoid the PMS issue.
I am generally worried about the advice you have been given. If it is from a non-specialist,i.e. a GP I suggest you see a specialist!

Hey,
Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much
The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.
This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body
sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

I hope it helps
